FOLLOW UP ACTIVITY
On November 30, inspired by our transformative Erasmus program experience in Pissouri, Cyprus, centered around Fair Trade and Responsible Consumers, my fellow participants and I organized a dynamic follow-up activity at our school. Armed with a vibrant PowerPoint presentation, we took the opportunity to engage with fellow students, shedding light on the importance of the Fair Trade movement.
The presentation sparked meaningful conversations about ethical consumer choices, sustainable production, and the positive impact Fair Trade can have on communities worldwide. To infuse an element of fun and reinforce the learnings, we wrapped up the session with an interactive quiz. The quiz not only tested our collective knowledge but also served as a playful way to encourage everyone to remember and implement the principles of Fair Trade in their everyday lives. It was heartening to witness the enthusiasm and increased awareness among the students, fostering a culture of conscious consumption within our school community.

Since I was participating in an Erasmus+ project for the first time, it was an unforgettable experience for me. It was a really enjoyable and beneficial experience as I picked up a lot of new knowledge in a light-hearted manner. I also made friends from all around Europe and met a lot of new individuals with whom I will stay in touch in the future. I became familiar with their customs and way of life. This project made me to discover more things about my country too. It was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish forever, and I heartily suggest it to anybody who enjoys doing new things and create new memories. And I will do it all over again!!

When I was approached from my school's administrator to take part as a leader to the specific project, I was a bit sceptical at the beginning! Now reflecting back I can say it was a quite educational and rewarding experience. I have learned a lot about the subject of FTRC and really enjoyed making new friends! The discussions with peers from other counties were constructive and really broadened my knowledge in other countries educational systems!

This was my second Erasmus+ project and I would say that is was the best one yet! I really enjoyed the activities and for sure it was one of the best experiences that I had in my life. This project taught me a lot, about FT and new cultures. I even learned new things about myself too. To add on, I met the kindest people from different countries with whom for sure I will keep contact in the future. Also, this project informed me more about the environment and many more information that for sure I am going to need in the future. I feel so blessed to have taken part in a project this meaningful and I would do it all over again!

The Erasmus+ program "Fair Trade and Responsible Consumers" in Pissouri was truly an unforgettable experience, perhaps the most exciting week of my life so far. I met incredible people and fellow teenagers with similar interests. I learned a lot about other cultures and different lifestyles. We had daily activities that sharpened our minds, developed our skills and collaboration, and improved our physical fitness. The hotel staff and facilities were excellent, as were the program organizers. The program aimed to educate us about the Fair Trade movement, which was successfully achieved. The friendships formed among students from the 6 participating countries (Cyprus, Portugal, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Spain, Poland) will endure even if we are far apart. If I could, I would turn back time to relive this experience with the same amazing people who made it so special. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity given to me!

I had the time of my life the past week in the Erasmus+ Project. I have met lots of different and fun people in the project and I am really glad I have spent time with them. The food was marvellous, except for some days, but i enjoyed it regardless my preferences.

We had an incredible time during our Erasmus adventure in Pissouri! The Fair Trade and Responsible Consumers Program taught us a lot but the most vivid memories were meeting new people and trying out outdoor activities like aqua aerobics, making our company, and treasure hunting made it extra special. The cultural nights have a special place in my heart. Exploring Pissouri and creating unforgettable experiences was a gem.

We had a fantastic time during our Erasmus trip to Pissouri. We enjoyed meeting new people and engaging in outdoor activities. Some of the activities we participated in included aqua aerobics, building a small company, and treasure hunting. We found the experience of staying active in the water and working on our entrepreneurial skills to be exciting. We also had a thrilling adventure while treasure hunting. Although we didn't find any hidden gems, the real treasure for us was the fun and memories we made along the way. Overall, we had an amazing time exploring Pissouri and creating unforgettable experiences.

Forever grateful I am
for the opportunity given to me during the Erasmus+ program, "Fair Trade
and Responsible Consumers" in Pissouri. It was an undeniably unforgettable
experience, quite possibly the most exciting week of my life so far. Incredible
people and fellow teenagers with similar interests were met, leading to
profound friendships. Different lifestyles and cultures were explored,
contributing to a significant learning experience. Our minds were sharpened,
skills and collaboration were developed, and physical fitness was improved
through daily activities. The excellence of the hotel staff and facilities,
along with the program organizers, added to the overall brilliance.
Successfully achieving its goal, the program educated us about the Fair Trade

participating countries, even across distances. If given the chance, I would
