During this international capacity building week , visitors had the opportunity to share experiences and get to know a little about the culture and traditions of the various represented countries and, of course, Barcelos and the region.
Among other activities the agenda included group sessions and practical workshops as well as the Market Place, during which the more than 20 international participants presented their institutions and their countries to their peers and to IPCA’s community. Another highlight of the week was the networking dinner, which featured a performance by IPCA’s Academic Musical Group (TAIPCA) to the delight of the participants. The week ended on a high note for participants from Jordan, Poland, France, Italy, Turkey, Germany, Slovakia, Spain, Finland and Algeria, with a canoeing activity on the Cávado River, with the collaboration of “Amigos da Montanha”.
