Work and study were an integral part of mobility, but there were also games and various cultural experiences, useful for evaluation. The cultural program provided an opportunity to get to know Greece better. During its implementation, the group participated in a trip to Meteora, Skiathos Island, Old Pantaleimon and Platamonas Castle. The history and culture of this country is no longer foreign to them. Optional trips were a very important part of the project which had a great impact on the participants.
Project certificates were handed out at the end of the mobility. They will help participants with their job search in the future. The evaluation that the participants took part in showed that the project was not only well planned but also well implemented. We are happy that the group has returned home safely and in good moods.
