The activity has contributed to reaching the objectives of the project. It had recycling workshops which developed students' creativity and ability to work in teams. The digital workshops about online safety made students aware of the dangers they might encounter in the digital world they live in. Moreover, it developed a positive attitude towards cultural differences and diversity, raised participants' interest in intercultural communication by working in multicultural groups.
