Our first ERASMUS+ mobility ended on a festive note, friendly and rich in memories for teachers.
See you soon friends!!! Next mobility"Romania" with three of our students enrolled in the ERASMUS+ project !!!
Due to international political circumstances and Russia’s intervention in Ukraine (border country of Romania), we had to cancel the romanian mobility scheduled from 4-8 April 2022.
We will meet again for the turkish mobility adventure !

The teachers from Agios Nikolaos (Greece), Brad (Romania), Corum (Turkey), Cartagena (Spain), Podebrady (Czech Republic) and La Riviere Saint Louis (Reunion- France) were in the first pedagogical meeting of teachers that took place from 27 November to 3 December 2021 on the island of Reunion.
Overcoming the difficulties caused by the pandemic, the teachers of the above mentioned schools met in La Riviere Saint Louis, Reunion, in particular at the Saint-Jolie school.
The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the issue of water management among the schools and the wider community. On an island that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010, the representatives of the six European countries involved in the project had the opportunity to see the wonders of water first hand. Abundant rainfall has transformed the island into a wonderful terrestrial "paradise" with rare species of flora and fauna. Exotic fruits, flowers and spices give off scents unknown to us Mediterranean peoples. Rivers and waterfalls from the highest mountain tops give life to tropical plants (sugar cane, coffee trees, vanilla, bamboo, etc.) and become a refuge for various species of fish. The sea water is exploited for salt production, while on the coral beaches one can see colourful fish and corals.
During the visit, we not only admired the natural landscape and the local community's use of the water, but also came into contact with the French educational system. The school in St. Jolie has for ages 15 and up two tracks, general knowledge and specific knowledge of woodworking. The school uses water in the gardens - a project of the students - and has a composting and hydroponics system. Teachers and students provided the whole group with an unforgettable hospitality that enabled the exchange of ideas and good practices and caused everyone to look forward to the next meeting-move (which will involve students) to Romania.
After a year of travel ban due to the pandemic, this first meeting gave us the opportunity to realize even more strongly the benefits of Erasmus programmes: people from different countries, with different cultures working together, becoming friends and supporters for a common cause. This in itself guarantees the success not only of this particular water project but also of the Erasmus programmes as a whole.

By Maria Peppa
From 4 to 8 April the first short-term exchange of groups of students took place at the Liceul Teoretic "Avram Iancu" school in the city of Brad, Romania, entitled "The Hypostasis of Water", in the framework of the Erasmus+ project "(N)EVER (S)TOP SAVING H2O FOR LIFE? TRUE WATER WARRIORS IN SCHOOLS".

The main objectives of the meeting were: to learn about the physical state of water, the transformation state of water, to understand the distribution and role of water in nature, in the life of plants, animals and humans, to discover the properties of water, to study water from an interdisciplinary point of view and to evaluate the risk factors related to the use of industrial water.

A wide range of activities were carried out to achieve the objectives. To inform us about current practices regarding sustainable water use we visited the biological purification of Deva city and the drinking water purification of Hunedoara city. We also watched with great interest the entire water bottling production line at the bottling plant in Boholt.
