Due to the Covid situation in all partner countries the partners decided to postpone again the scheduled transnational partner meeting and pupil learning activity in Finland on September until beginning of November, assuming that travel restrictions would be lifted in all partner countries.
The partners representing schools in the partnership have met separately to find ways to get the pupils started to participate in the learning activities in different countries to start communicating with each other and if possible work on small joint tasks related to the ENGAGE curriculum.
The partners decided to organize a joint pupils’ online meeting on September 30, 2020 to give pupils the opportunity to introduce themselves to each other and to present to pupils from other schools general information about their school, city and country.
