We couldn’t travel to Poland because of the pandemic period and the restrictions that we had all partners travel abroad. The mobility began on the 7th December of 2020 until the 11th December of 2020. We followed the e-learning from distance methodology. We used Google meet as a tool for online communication and the Google drive of the project as a repository for the working material. Students working from their homes either cooperating with teachers and other students using PowerPoint, jump board, movie maker. In Google meet we separate students on different groups from the countries partners to cooperate.
With the guidance of all the teachers students learned about the European values, and respect of the different, accept the diversity. On Monday, we began with the official opening, hosting school present our teams and their team. After that each partner and the hosting school show video presentations of each school and video presentations of the native partners’ countries. We make activities about European solidarity and equity among the people, so students present their work for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and their local cultural traditions; we used the Google drive of the project to upload the material of the students.

Students improved foreign language competencies, better awareness of the European project and the EU values, increased motivation for taking part in projects (formal/non-formal education) after The benefits for the participants can be reported in two dimensions. The first dimension is dictated by the opportunities provided to students to come into contact not only with the culture of the venue school but also with many other different cultures. This is attributed to the fact that students from partner schools collaborate with variant ICT apps and programs through online activities. Through these online activities, students had the opportunity to learn a completely different educational system, cultural issues and compare it to their own countries’ one, become familiar with other cultures, broaden their horizons, meet people who would otherwise never get to know, become witnesses of different cultures and create new opportunities.
