Delegation of Outstanding Macao Higher Education Students to the European Union and UNESCO

In the last day, we visited the Parlamentarium, and got a better understanding about its history and background.  Later, we took the last group photos at the Atomium. Time flies, this trip was way more wonderful than I've ever expected. I really like all the new friends I've made! They're all awesome! Thank you all!

Today, we took our visit to Bruges. The weather was so nice!  A short introductory talk was given by an officer in the College of Europe, and that was amazing and attractive!

In the morning, we continued our schedule in the EEAS. The topics include: 1. Erasmus+ and EU-China High Level People Dialogue. 2. European Economic Diplomacy. In the afternoon, we visited the European Parliament and that was impressed. Here are some photos to share:

We arrived Brussels by the noon, and headed to the European School of Protocol for a workshop on International Protocol & Business Etiquette. It was really nice and practical!  In the evening, we took a short visit to the Macau Economic and Trade Delegation in Brussels (in European Union). Later, we had a wonderful dinner together with the officers.

On the third day morning, we visited the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris, getting to know more about its current strategies and programs. Shinny and Smart! We enjoyed having a workshop on Career Development Skills with some UNESCO interns from different countries.
