"Rotaract Portugal Trip 2010" began on 31st July, with 20 international participants from 14 nationalities. This cultural exchange, organized by the Rotaract clubs of Castelo Branco, Lisboa-Olivais and Sintra, appeared with the challenge that this organization launched the clubs towards internationalization.
Rotaract Club of Castelo Branco received this initiative, from 31st July to 4th August, in Ribeira da Isna de S. Carlos, in Proença a Nova, in the form of a camp.
In this camp the highlight was the international dinner, where each participant has to know their food and where everyone could taste diverse dishes that were prepared by the participants.
After this, they followed to Lisbon where they were received by the Rotaract club of Lisboa-Olivais, being guided by the city, Parque das Nações and Belém, where they got to know the history of our capital. The trip ended in Sintra, with a visit to the village and Seteais, and a trip to the beach.
This trip has made us more international, more open to understanding other cultures and to consider that friendship and generosity are values common to all peoples and cultures.
