This Mobility C2 Iceland Mobility has been configurated as the 2nd European Congress: “3D Printing, Vr and Programming” of the Project : Girls and Boys are Programming in Europe. with code 2019-1-CZ01-KA229-061282.

In this congress, Teachers and students from the differents schools of the erasmus project participated in the following activities : cultural activities, formation sessions, exhibitions and Working Sessions.

Covid Impact

This mobility has suffered many problems due to Covid restrictions and It was very near to be cancelled ( with the rest of the project ) however thanks to the efforts of the involved teams, it has been posible to Carry it out .

This mobility was originally planned for 16 of march of 2020 but due to the irruption of the panthemia in Europe and the all airports clousure that weekend, it had to be cancelled. Indeed we were a bit lucky because we were very near to get stuck in Iceland with the students for months and months. Other big problem was that many airlines and hotels did not gave back the money or they only gave some vouchers which were useless because they had to be used within a year. ).

After a 2020 Summer when COVID restrictions had been lowered, the Coordinators suggested the possiblity to carry out this mobility in october 2020, All the teams agreed and prepared their trip but suddenly at the end of september 2020, it appears the second wave of the panthemic and it had to be again posponed (with all budget problems of cancelations that it involve once more).

Finally, After a second year of restrictions but with the hope of an improvement of the situation, in a virtual Meeting in June 2020 . Teams decided to plan the mobility for september 2021.

Everything was going on, although we had serious budget problems and many of the participant paid their travel by themself because the Erasmus grant was lost in previous cancellations.

Unfortunately, in August 2020, there was an uprising of the COVID cases in Europe and many goberments hardened the conditions to travel (Vacination and Test) . Many students didn’t acomplish the requirements in some countries (vacination age not allowed in Italy and Spain) but it was possible to be vaccinated in others (C. Republic & Portugal) so we decided to make a mixed online-presential mobility where many of the workshops where retransmited using Etwinning & Google Meet Platform.

Synergies

This congress was set at the same school and time that the European Congress: “DESIGN WITH 3D PRINTING: APPLICATIONS TO ART AND EUROPEAN CRAFTSMANSHIP” from UIPEC Eramus Project and we were lucky to share many synergies and some activities with them.
