Staff and pupils from our partnership schools in Bulgaria, Italy, Romania and Turkey visited Doon Academy for a meeting on our Comenius Project ‘Bridges4Europe’. The visitors had a tour of the school and a Burns Presentation. The conference was a great success and activities for the project were completed. Everyone at Doon Academy enjoyed meeting the visitors and look forward to hosting a future gathering in May 2009.
