Thus, a workshop nº2 alluding to puzzle pieces for its construction was started. After a short break, workshop nº3, “Diary entry writing”, took place. After a brief lunch break, a Tour of Birmingham City center took place - Cathedral Square, Victoria Square, The library of Birmingham, Brindley Place, Gas Street Basin, The Mailbox, Grand Central and The Bullring. After that, return to the aparthotel.

 The next day (June 22), we visited Anne Hathaway’s cottage, and after a light lunch, visited William Shakespeare’s birthplace and burial site. After some free time, we return to the hotel.

On the 23rd, Thursday, we returned to the school that welcomed us, Ulverley school, where the participating students held workshop nº4, “Script Writing and play performance practise, children final practice and play performances. After lunch, a “Fancy Dress party” was held, providing good times.
