FORCE MAJEURE MOBILITY: Due to the pandemic COVID-19 situation, we couldn't arrange for our short-term mobility exchange of group of pupils to be held in Cyprus, but instead, we managed to have it virtually for seven consecutive days, from the 6th until the 12th of October 2021.
During this virtual mobility students had the chance to exchange information about the two topics: Traditional Fairytales and Traditional Music. Also the host country presented lots of places which reflect their history, traditions and customs.
The virtual meeting was held on ZOOM platform, which is used for online meetings, by Terra Santa College - Cyprus.
