EF Gap Semester Spring 2023: Wrap-Up in Lisbon

Welcome to the Spring 2023 EF Gap Semester Wrap-Up in Lisbon! Below you will find the schedule and some free time recommendations for your time in Lisbon.

Wrap-Up is designed as a time for you to spend looking back on your progress over the course of the semester. Through workshops and guided explorations around Lisbon and the surrounding areas, you will have chances to reflect, celebrate, and to spend quality time with the amazing cohort of EF Gap students!

Schedule of events

The schedule outlined here is intentionally a mix of structured activities that will help you reflect and prepare for your return, conversations with inspiring EF employees, and free time for you to enjoy each other’s company.
