During the short-term exchange to Gdynia, the students from the four partner schools presented on the connection between their cities and the sea. After all, Agios Nikolaos, Barcelos, Gdynia and Tarragona are coastal cities or are situated very close to it, a feature which has strongly influenced their history, their personality and all their cultural traits.
After the presentations, participants stated that, in spite of being close to different seas (the Mediterranean and the Aegean, the Baltic but also the Atlantic Ocean) and being exposed to different climates and a different history, we do have much in common since all four cities owe their most remarkable features to the close presence of the sea.
The Spanish Team explaining the role that the sea plays in ordinary life of Tarragona's
citizens and its impact on the city's economy, landscape and cultural traditions.
During the mobility to Gdynia (Poland) in May 2019, all four Erasmus+ teams joined to present this connection between their city and the sea to their fellows, thus exchanging their points of view, evidencing the differences but also the many similarities among Tarragona, Agios Nikolaos, Gdynia and Barcelos. Students also made experiements to learn about the differences in the salinity levels of the four seas/oceans!
