While the students were preparing the posters, the project coordinators met to assess the progress of the project, regarding the proposed changes to the modules of the e-course and the 80 webQuests (60 related to the 3 project modules and 20 related to World Awareness Days) designed by the teachers of the partner organizations from 24/6 to 25/07/2024, according to the wishes of the students expressed during the virtual trip to Samsun (29/05/2024-01/06/2024) and evaluated by the students of each organization who piloted them from 29/7 to 29/9. These changes were discussed by the coordinators and the adjustments were decided.

On the 2nd of October, participants had the opportunity to visit Ondokuz Mayıs University (OMÜ) in Samsun for a day full of educational activities. Dr. Muhammed KOK from the Department of Foreign Language Education presented an enlightening seminar on media literacy and then held the interactive workshops "Can You Tell Truth from Falsehood?" and "The Trustworthiness of Social Media" that challenged everyone to think critically about the information they encounter on the Internet, in general and specifically regarding the Mediterranean Diet. Teachers also had the opportunity to observe a professor during a lecture at the University on classroom management, as part of the exchange of best practices. There was free time to tour the OMÜ campus, followed by contact with Turkish traditional folk art at the Olgunlasma Vocational School, through the work of female artisans who create handmade art and folk crafts. Their collaborative efforts keep Turkey’s cultural traditions alive, transferring these skills to younger generations and ensuring the continuity of intangible cultural heritage. The students there practiced painting with the improvisation technique, using natural dyes from plant materials, such as vegetables and herbs. Through this sustainable process and with reference to the Mediterranean Diet, they highlighted the value of nature as a source of artistic inspiration and strengthened their awareness of environmental sustainability. The day ended with a meal in the same space that had been prepared from local and seasonal products.
On the 3rd of October, the participants traveled to the historical city of Amasya. There, they visited the Food Technology department at the İlduş Hatun Kız Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi Vocational High School, where students and teachers were given a tour of the facilities of both the laboratory and the dining areas where students actively participate in the preparation of meals, while utilizing raw materials produced by the agricultural school of the region. Afterwards, we had the opportunity to attend classes at all levels of education hosted by this building and to explore the museums and attractions of Amasya, gaining cultural knowledge about the region. We visited:

• the Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum which hosts archaeological finds from the region as well as ethnographic exhibits depicting local daily life.

• the Sabuncuoğlu Şerefeddin Museum which is dedicated to an important Ottoman physician and highlights the history of medicine in the Ottoman Empire,

• The Museum of Silas dedicated to the local legend of Ferhat and Sirin, with exhibits that combine art and folklore.

The above museums capture the cultural history and traditions of the region, highlighting the role of local agriculture and nutrition. The Mediterranean Diet, which shares common elements with Turkish culture, is linked to the wealth of products grown in the region. The historical testimonies about the diet and agricultural practices of Anatolia, as presented in these museums, offer a bridge between the tradition of Turkish cuisine and the Mediterranean Diet, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and cultural heritage. The day concluded with a dinner with traditional Turkish cuisine, which shares common elements with the principles of the Mediterranean diet, followed by an event with the awarding of certificates.
On the last day of the Activity (4/10/2024), a visit was made to the Science and Discovery Center, where a seminar and interactive workshop on "Modern Technologies for Digital Education" took place. The students created holograms and handmade greenhouses, where temperature and humidity sensors can be used and plant cultivation can be regulated. They also participated in robotics activities using LEGO Mindstorms. This was followed by a visit to CANİK - Türk Telekom Mesleki ve Teknik Anadolu Lises Vocational High School, where the students attended the "Internet Safety" seminar as well as a seminar and workshop on vertical farming. During the activity, the basic principles and advantages of vertical farming compared to traditional methods (e.g. saving water, energy, pesticides) were presented, hydroponic and aeroponic methods were analyzed, while their applicability in limited spaces, such as urban areas or domestic environments, was also examined. The discussion that followed focused on the contribution of vertical farming to sustainable food production and the connection with the Mediterranean Diet, which supports self-sufficiency and promotes the consumption of fresh, nutritious and local foods, contributing to a balanced and environmentally friendly diet. Finally, the students participated in a practical exercise at the school premises, where a relevant Erasmus+ program had previously been implemented, and they planted vegetables in vertical farming systems, putting into practice what they had learned. At the end of the activities, the meeting was evaluated by students and teachers. The teachers had time to design the Europasses of mobility, to plan the mobility in Slovakia and the coordinators of the partner schools expressed their positive views on the meeting and cooperation of the children. In the farewell speech, the president of USGGED thanked the participants of the program, satisfied that the mobility was a success.
