    The best way to start the day is with yoga and meditation.

    SOFT SKILLS POSTER (8th of June)

       

      

    In this activity, we worked in different mixed groups and in a virtual way with our colleagues from Greece and Norway. 
    We prepared a poster about one Soft Skill. It was a way to review all that we learnt during the project about self-management, empathy, communication and empowerment. We used different types of materials like newspapers and magazines and we create a poster with the main characteristics of our Soft Skills and how we can use them in our daily life. After that, we present the poster in front of our partners and we share the results, virtually, with the Greek and Norwegian team. 

     

    ACTIVITY "PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS" (8th of June)

     

      

      

    This activity was virtual for the Greek and Norwegian teams and in the class for us. 
    It was an activity where we need to use all the Soft Skills that we learnt in this Erasmus. We created different mixed groups and we received a problem related to our daily life. Our aim was to suggest one possible solution for them. After that, we present our problem and a possible solution for them in front of our partners and we debate about that. 
    It was an interesting activity because we shared different points of view.
