During this mobility the teachers were offered to do eating disorder quiz and text of the balanced diet to determine if their eating habits are healthy or not. Teachers were also discussing about balanced diet – how much fats and fibre must it consist of. As entertainment and knowledge checking was played a game about famous chocolat brands in the world. Teachers had a possibility to watch a presentation according to this topic.

There were also two smart activities about idioms. The task was to match each idiom with the right explanation. The idioms were about foods and their counter parts.

Teachers also took part in a lesson on Table Manners, good manners in different cultures and a task about different social situations.

Teachers told one another about their countries. At the end of the mobility the teachers were discussing different teaching methods including innovative ones they used in their classes.
