Belgrade, Serbia

This mobility meeting took part from 28/3-1/4/2022.

The aim of this mobility is to point out the importance of green chemistry through the implementation of the project, while accentuating the importance of experiments and practical assignments in the process of learning. Thus students will:
-improve their knowledge on the concept of green chemistry and chemical experiments (sub-topics:  Basics and principles of green chemistry, Sustainable and unsustainable habits, Ecological footprint, Recycling, Nutritional contents in food items, Testing water and food packaging, Food and microbiology).
-improve their 4Cs skills (communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking)
-improve their English language competence through activities with their European peers, attending conferences.
-improve their digital skills by using web platforms, smart phone apps, digital tools like Padlet, Kahoot,…
-be aware of the need to tackle some related topics in their daily life.
