On 30th April 2025, the EcoCraft project team successfully held the third transnational coordination meeting online, bringing together all partner schools from Croatia and Portugal. The meeting focused on finalizing key details for the upcoming first mobility in Faro, Portugal, scheduled for May 2025.
Key Highlights of the Meeting:
Final Program for Mobility in Faro
Partners confirmed that the preparation and distribution of national dishes to the homeless will be conducted on the same day. Additional workshops on waste sorting, recycling, and reducing plastic and chemical use will also be included.

Despite the municipality’s rejection of a transportation request, the Portuguese partner has arranged a rental bus for cultural visits.
Culinary Workshop Readiness
All ingredients for the cooking workshops will be ready prior to the event.
Participant Selection and Certificates
Each school has finalized their participant lists. The host partner will compile a shared Excel file with student information (contact details, allergies, etc.) for organizing certificates and communication.
Digital Tools and Engagement
Students will begin connecting through the SeeSaw platform, creating a virtual space for cross-cultural exchange before the mobility.
Student Presentations
On the first day in Faro, Portuguese students will welcome participants with presentations about Portugal and the city of Faro.Surveys & Data Protection
All schools will complete surveys related to plastic use and inter-partner cooperation. Privacy data forms for all participants (including teachers) must be signed, scanned, and stored on the shared Google Drive folder.

With strong collaboration and clear planning among partners, the EcoCraft team is ready to begin the next chapter of this inspiring project. We look forward to an enriching and sustainable experience in Portugal!
