written by Siru Nurminen and Roosa Pykäläinen  

Preparation to the trip 

We all made our own video where we talked about ourselves and nature. 

Then we packed our suitcases. 

Day 1. 

First we watched videos of Athens and showed what is inside our suitcases. There were sunglasses, clothes  and hats. 

Then we were separated into tree groups, we went to separate classrooms. There we ate some fruits and there were also olives. 

After that we met other countries’ students virtually. 

We watched Greece’s and Finland’s presentations, they were really cool. 

Then we played Climate Adaptation Game with other countries’ students. 

Finally we went to eat. After the break we started to documentate our trip. 

That was our day one. 

Day 2 

😃 

First we went outside to practise and film our Finnish dance called letkajenkka. 

Then we went inside to put up our picnic foods. 

After that we watched presentations of Romania and Cyprus, they made miniature ecological  houses and they also made houses in a game called Minecraft. 

Then we started to introduce every country's picnic food, every country gave  points 1-5 to each food acoording to these criteria:

1.Traditional                                                                                                                     2.Without meat                                                                                                               3.Homemade                                                                                                                    4.Local and seasonal                                                                                                          5.No waste 

Finally we started to eat delicious foods, at the same time we watched some other countries dance performances . 

That was our day two. 

Day  3 

We started the day by making Greek salad and tsatsiki. 

After that we watched Catalonia’s and Belgium’s precentations, they were really good. 

Then wewvent to groups, one group had to go to school where we interviewed one student and one teacher, other group played a game  and they made a slogan and the last group made crafts. 

Then we went to eat to our school, although we had ten minutes time to eat. 

After lunch we wrote our opinion on this trip and ate the Greek salad and tsatsiki that we prepared in the morning. 

That was our great virtual trip to Greece, BYE and thank you for the programme!😎 

Cyprus: What we picked up from our virtual trip to Athens

Our virtual mobility to Athens reminded us the importance of a eating healthy. Our friends promoted the use of local organic products and encouraged us to reduce the consumption of fast food and increase the consumption of vegetables, fruit and meals prepared at home by us. These are some of our activities related to what we learnt:
