There were visited Vantaan Energia, Sorttiasema in Ruskeasuo, metal recycling plant Valtee in Nurmijärvi, Viiri second hand shop in Klaukkala and talked about recycling in detail. As the working material was metal, in the workshops students made robots out of different kinds of metal. Once the robots were ready the students used them to make animations with ipads. These metal robot animations were presented in the International Evening. Students, parents and other members of the community came to see the show. Each partner country had also an information stall where they presented their country, school and recycling. The visiting students stayed in host families and many friendships were formed. The hosting institution also organized a visit at Nurmijärvi municipality’s oldest school to show participants what foundation the Finnish School system is based on. At the end of the meeting, participants received certificates of participation and europass certificates.
