  My first workshop was at Ginásio do Areal a state school where the students rents are around 60 pounds a month.
I had 16 students because it was at the night shift and the temperature was so low that most of them didn´t go... Some of them didn´t go also because they have to work and it is not always that they can leave work to go to school. A very interesting environment, very interesting people, very low paid teachers but extremely enthusiastic. A very touching scene. People doing a lot for the world in a very small scale... alsmot one to one.
I didn´t get exactly what i wanted from the workshop... maybe because the method was not the most appropriate but it was a very interesting experience. In the end they didn´t want me to go because they were fascinated with some of the stories i told them about living abroad. It doesn´t seem something so difficult anymore. And i am sure the english teacher will be surprised in the next class.
