During this last mobility various
workshops were organized and carried out by teachers and students:

Sixth Wall of Friendship”
The
“Treasure Hunt”
Visit of
an organization (which takes care of people with special need) to
share the Digital Book and the Emotional First Aid Kit
“The
empty space game”
The
intercultural night and certificates.
Our students carried out all the activities with
great enthusiasm and collaboration spirit, developing their
curiosity and attention to the defence of the environment. They increased their
comunicative, interactive and digital skills; English was the language used.
The first day our students with other
groups of students performed by the sea the choreography for the flash mob;
they won the competition as the best choreography.
The ”Empty space” game
activity was realized by the students in mixed groups (not per country). They
worked on topic “food chain”.The topic was about human’s negative intervention
to the food chain and the problems that this intervention create. The last part
was about our actions (personal, social or political) concerning the protection
of the food chain.
The week
spent in Greece included other activities too :
· the visit
of Partenone in Athens;
· the visit
to the school and the meeting with
the Mayor of Trikala;
· the
cultural visits of the most important historical, artistic and
monumental places of the city of Trikala ( Museum of Tsitsani,
Mosque, Central bridge Asklipeiion, Mepropolitan
church, Castle, Varousi);
· the Visit
of Meteora with
its two Monasteries and the Natural
History Museum;
· the
visit of Kalambaka;
· the Visit
of Pyli, the Stone Bridge and the Waterfalls.
For the intercultural evening, every
country had a stand, showing the most important and repreventative objects and
products of their culture and tradition.
Our students presented the flash mob choreography
which won the competiton. Everything was done in
a climate of friendship, cheerfulness and conviviality.
This stay allowed us to enjoy the beauty of new places, we
found hospitality, friendliness and new friendships, we all enriched ourselves.
In their journals, the students said that it was a gerat and
interesting experience:
visit to a European country, meeting of peers from other
nationalities, communication in English, discovery of new cultures and
traditions, sharing opinions with other peers about the protection
of the environment and animals.
This was the last meeting of “PRET-A-PET” and, at
the end of the project, we can say that every meeting, gave us the
opportunity to know and confront us with new realities, appreciating
the different cultures and ways of life, in a spirit of understanding,
acceptance, tolerance and friendship.
The experience of this project was a great growth
for each of us.
We hope to do other European Erasmus+ Projects in the
future, we think that sharing and comparing with people from other
countries create a positive development in every field of knowledge.
