During the 1st mobility, Frederique, the coordinator of the project, ask from the greek team to learn to the Belgian students the Greek alphabet. As she said, at the Lyceum the pupils can choose to study classical studies, which means that the students learn ancient Greek and Latin languages. It was an amazing moment in our project.

Web 2.0 tools
During our first mobilities, we share a google doc to write on it useful web 2.0 tools that we can use.

Code week activities, October of 2021
We participate in code week activities with two online meetings
For #CodeWeek 2021 the members of the project decided to collaborate and teach each other something. Fun and engaging activities were created for all the participating students:
Scratch lesson for the "I am not a robot" ERASMUS+ partners
32 Primary School of Piraeus hosted a lesson to teach students in the project how to use Scratch. Simultaneous events were created in partner schools.

Students from Latvia were on an autumn break during that time.
The online lesson was a great experience for all the children that participated. See the Bulgarian point of view below:

Nearly 140 children took place in the Blockly event. Approximately 53% of them were girls.
Here is how the Bulgarian partner saw the event:

The first online meeting
We discuss in an online meeting on the 8th of September about the first mobility to Belgium. We also discuss the first activity, to present our town and our country with a scratch animation video.
Unplugged activities
At first, the partners suggest the unplugged activities that they used for the younger pupils.
From Bulgarian team
I would like to suggest one more game that introduces the concepts "sequence" and "algorithm". It comes from the Wonder Workshop unplugged activities and I believe it is quite nice.
Preparation: Print one set of arrows and robots for each pair. You can find the pdf here.
1) Split the class into pairs.
2) Have each pair place 9 pieces of paper on the floor in the shape of a square (A4 works great).
3) Have them place Dot (the smaller robot) on one piece of paper and place Dash (the bigger robot) on another piece of paper. It doesn’t matter which pieces of paper the children choose.
4) Have students cut out the arrows from the pdf.
5) Have students lay the arrows on the floor or a desk in a sequence that will direct Dash (the bigger robot) to find Dot (the smaller robot).
6) Have student pairs switch algorithms with another group.
● Have each new group follow the arrow algorithm exactly as is and leave a sticky note of feedback for the algorithm owners.
● Have the algorithm owners return to their algorithms and respond to the feedback. If the sequence of arrows in the algorithm is wrong, encourage the algorithm owner to make changes.
● Have groups rotate to another algorithm and repeat the process.
You can easily introduce the definitions of "sequence" and "algorithm" after the activity :)
I hope you enjoy the activity and please share your thoughts and experiences with me in the comments :)
Here are some photos from the game in action.
