TET's conditions and types of meetings

Conditions to be part of the TET (an open group):

  • Talk in English in the main TET's, once a month (if you don't know English, you can always learn and improve it during TET)
  • Discuss a specific theme
  • Let the kitchen clean
  • Try to "work" for the community (to improve Portugal)

We should write e-mails in English, to practice more and maintain the spirit! Of course I'm talking about e-mails related to TET meetings.

Types of TET meetings:

1. TET official meeting, once a month, normally associated with a meal, where we speak in English and discuss a specific theme.

2. TET cultural meeting, between official TET meetings, where we speak in Portuguese and see an exposition, go to the theatre, cinema, or other things. In the end we discuss about what we saw or simply we have a nice conversation about what we want, it's more informal.

All these meetings are suggested by each person (place, time, theme, ...).

5th TET - European Union: rebuilding, remodeling, reajusting?...


















Outside Granjinhos coffee/bar, after a great but not yet finished discussion!
We learn with each other, with each one knowledge, point of view and opinion.
It was an open mind discussion and I think we return home richer, like always in a TET!
