The theme of the project "Living in Latvia - 3" in May is "History, culture and traditions of Latvia" which is acquired theoretically and practically. On May 16 and 17 the project participants participated in the seminar at EDC but acquired this theme in practice by visiting the exhibition "Latvian artists in exile" in the exhibition hall "Arsenāls" and exploring the centre of Riga in the excursion.

The excursion ended with getting an excellent bird-eye's view on Riga from the tower of St. Peter's church in Old Riga. After the seminar the participants admitted that it learning about the ancient signs of the Balts was an especially interesting learning experience. The information about the history of Latvia encourages to learn more about it.
