1st Transnational Meeting in Latvia

 

Presentation by the project coordinator, Dr. Davut Atış, on the first day of the meeting held at the Valmiera Gauja Coast Secondary School


The first transnational project meeting of the MATH project took place between 13 and 15 September 2021 in Valmiera, Latvia. The meeting was planned and organised by the host organization Valmieras Gaujas Krasta Vidusskola (Valmiera Gauja Coast Secondary School).

Because of some restrictions on the Covid-19 pandemic in their countries, INUK Institut (Slovenia) and The University of Piteşti (Romania) couldn't attend the meeting face to face. They joined the meeting via the Zoom application instead. So, it was blended mobility.

First Day

On the first day of the mobility, 13th September 2021, each partner institution (both face-to-face and online) introduced themselves and mentioned the distance education activities they implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic.

When the introduction of the partner organizations was finished, we discussed the tasks and responsibilities of the partner institutions. The dissemination plan was also made clear. The preparations and risks of the mobilities were discussed.

After lunchtime, a meeting with creators of an innovative digital tool for students with different disabilities was organized. A Virtual Reality application was presented, and some experts introduced some examples for classroom use.
