1. I come from a country with sea and sun. We are supposed to be happy but we are nostalgic people (are we?), or something else. Or, like our great poet Fernando Pessoa said: “a room with innumerous mirrors”.
2. The mirrors I brought for Portuguese Presentation were mostly photographs: visual elements with no verbal information or description. My personal goal was to let seniors experience trough their eyes and construct by themselves and for themselves a piece of Portugal.
3. The ambiance I was looking for was not fully attended due also to technical problems like getting music for all presentation slides, or the video that the projector did not recognize.
4. Of course, Polish is still a strange language to me but the feelings around people on this day needed no words. I felt welcomed! We ate yogurt cake and smile. Simple things that we share, and for them I say thank you!
