One week in the beginning of October in Cyprus….   Re- starting the project of P.O.R.T.S.   For two years all the contacts have been taking place via internet.

Lots of work, new presentations, productive meetings,   lectures by experts in the field, tours in Port of Limassol fulfilled our working days. But also very beautiful historical places, tour in Limassol, visiting and working in School of Omodous and village nearby gave us a glimpse of Cypruses culture and everyday life.   Scholi Omodous. Village of Omodous. We also visited and had an interesting tour in The monastery of Saint ( Honest or Holy) cross,

  On 16 th of December 2020 another meeting of our project took place. As Covid- 19 virus had taken over the world, the meeting was held via internet. Students of all participating countries, as well as teachers, presented short overview about Christmas traditions of their countries. It was interesting to hear about how different the traditions are, but in the same time we have some similarities too. This meeting gave us the great opportunity to learn new things about our countries and Christmas in different parts of the world. After presentations students talked about how the Corona virus has affected their lives. The corona restrictions in different countries varied greatly. It was nice to see our colleagues and friends!

  In march 2020   the meeting in Estonia was supposed to take place. Many activities and excursions were organized. Estonian team planned to take our mobility partners to Muuga port, Tallinn port, Tallink's ship and one- day trip to neighbour country Finland. Presentations were prepared by all national teams. Students were communicating and all were ready to meet. Unfortunately, the Corona situation in Europe took turn for worse and due to spread of pandemic, one day prior Estonian mobility was cancelled.   Hope to see you soon!
