Die Koordinatorin besucht die Studierenden der Kohorte "Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani", die gerade das zweite Semester an der Universität do Minho belegen. An diesem Tag waren auch Prof. Dias, Prof. Valcárcel, Prof. Buchi dort.
On the 24th of April, the Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani Class, currently doing their mobility at the University of Minho in Braga, learned about and celebrated one of the most important historic events of modern Portuguese history, the Carnation Revolution (a Revolução dos Cravos, die Nelkenrevolution) that took place on the 25th of April 1974 in Portugal. This historic event that led to the collapse of a 40 year dictatorship paved the way to a democratic Portugal.
Vom 23.-24.4. hat Prof. Martina Nied Curcio für die Studierenden der Sukhan Saba Orbeliani Kohorte einen Workshop zu Wörterbücher und Kultur gehalten. Wichtig war der interkulturelle Austausch und die Diskussion über Kulturspezifika. Dabei konnten die Studierenden auch selbst Wörterbucheinträge zum EMLex- Kulturwörterbuch ausarbeiten und somit ihre bisher theoretisch erworbenen Kenntnisse in der Lexikographie praktisch anwenden. Der Austausch war für alle sehr interessant und lehrreich.
Der Besuch von Sheila Gondar Tubío (Universität Leipzig) am Institut für galicische Sprache (ILG, USC) bot uns die Gelegenheit, institutionelle Beziehungen zu stärken und Erfahrungen auszutauschen. Gleichzeitig konnten wir das EMJM-EMLex-Programm und das ILG als eines seiner Praktikumszentren vorstellen.

I recommend EMLex because the professors are really very dedicated and patient. In addition, I was able to test the knowledge acquired in Mexico, and my level of English and German improved thanks to the interaction with classmates and professors of different nationalities. I feel very fortunate to belong to such a close-knit community and to have friends in different parts of the world.
