PRIMARY SCHOOL
Name of activity/workshop: I AM READING FOR YOU
This activity is organized for children with special needs who need additional support. The workshop was held in the school library with children aged seven to ten. Librarian and English teacher Ljiljana Kostandinovic read the children's favourite story in the school library. The pupils listened carefully, and then at the end, they asked questions and narrated what they heard with illustrations. They also described their favourite character from the story they heard. The goal of the workshop is to help children to read and understand the text, as well as to create a habit and love for books and reading.

PARTICIPANTS' IMPRESSIONS FROM THE TRAINING:
Aurelian Grigore: The training course Re-Establish Diversity and Inclusion in Environmental Location in Pissouri, Cyprus was a life-changing experience that helped me to develop as a person, to learn more about the topic of the project and about how we can introduce diversity in our local environment and transform a place in order to be more sustainable and to attend to the local people needs, as well as to develop new skills and exchange ideas. In this project, I made lifelong friendships and I keep in contact with the participants to see how our life develop further. I recommend to everyone take part in an Erasmus project as it is a unique opportunity to learn new things and develop yourself.
Ljiljana Kostandinovic: The training course Re-Establish Diversity and Inclusion in Environmental Location in Pissouri, Cyprus was another new experience and challenge for me. The experience and the knowledge gained in this project will be useful for my future professional and everyday life. I learned more about the topic, I developed my skills, and I enjoyed listening to other participants and sharing my experience with them. The organizers of the project made an effort to implement activities within the project as well as to fulfil the goals and tasks. The participants also did their best to participate actively in all the activities and tasks. Another advantage of this event is future cooperation between participants through potential projects. I recommend to everyone this project.
Olteanu Cristina: The training course Re-Establish Diversity and Inclusion in Environmental Location in Pissouri, Cyprus was an extraordinary and unique experience. I felt excellent, everything was superlative, the trainers, the activities, the location, the food and all the participants. I have improved and developed skills and competencies and gained useful information about inclusion and diversity in environmental locations. This experience will be very useful in my daily life and activities, the fact that I met people from different countries enriched me culturally, and with some of the participants, I will develop partnerships and get more involved in writing and applying Erasmus+ Projects.
Dhyan Or: I found the location of REDIEL in Pissouri unique and perfectly fitting the theme of this training course. Visiting authentic local sites and interacting with the residents were extremely helpful in establishing a sense of connection and understanding of the issues we discussed and the way they are tackled in Cyprus. I am grateful to the organizers and trainers for their efforts to make this an enjoyable and useful week, and I am looking forward to starting a potential partnership with the local NGO.
