The second mobility of our project took place in Verona, Italy. It was great fun and a complete success. Everybody, students and teachers, worked hard but also enjoyed their time together.It was a great experience and they all loved Italy!
This is how we spent our time in Verona

Look at what our students had to say about their stay  in Verona.

The following are videos of basic phrases in each of the six languages. The main actors of course are students!
The Cypriot video

In Italy the teachers and students had the chance to play a game that all six countries put together. It is a lot of fun and consists of various games. They incorporate basic greetings in each of the the six languages and some information on the participating countries. If anybody  wishes to play the game, please get it from your teacher. 

Here are some jokes from each country which describe typical stereotypes of each culture. Of course these jokes are meant to be taken lightly and they by no means reflect the truth! In fact during our Italian meeting these stereotypes were proven wrong!

Cypriot jokes
A Cypriot bet his money on the stock market and lost half a million pounds. One day he saw a friend who asked  him, "Costas, you have lost so much money! How come you can sleep at night?"
Costas replied: "How can I sleep at night? I sleep like a baby! I wake up every two hours and I cry…"
(Clarification: This joke refers to the economic crisis that took place in March 2013)

Why do people from Paphos go to primary school for seven years instead of six?
Because they have to spend the first year learning the Greek language.

 (Clarification: The Cypriots make fun of the people in Paphos (a town on the west of Cyprus) because they have a different way of speaking the Cypriot dialect)

Finnish jokes
How can you tell the difference between a Finnish introvert and a Finnish extrovert? 

When he's talking to you a Finnish introvert looks at his feet. A Finnish extrovert looks at yours.

Romanian jokes.
A Romanian had an Arabian neighbor.

One morning, the Romanian was crying like hell. The Arabian asked:

- Why are you crying, man?

- My goat died.....

- Let me give you some money and get another goat.

Done and done. The next day the Romanian was crying harder.

- Now why are you crying?

- Well, if I my first goat hadn’t died, now I would have had two......

In a Romanian restaurant

 The Customer calls the waiter. The waiter approaches prompt and courteous:
- You know Chief, the schnitzel that you gave me cannot be eaten.
- It's okay; I can take it and bring you an exceptional steak instead.
- Well I eat a piece of it.
- And the steak was eaten very little…too.


Italian jokes
Hell is where:

·  The Germans are the policemen

·  The British are the cooks

·  The French are the engineers

·  The Swiss are the lovers

·  The Italians are the organizers


Spanish joke:
An American tourist goes into a restaurant in Spain and orders the specialty of the house. When his dinner arrives, he asks the waiter what it is.

"These, senor," replied the waiter in broken English, "are the arms of the bull killed in the ring today."

The tourist swallowed hard but tasted the dish and thought it was delicious. So he comes back the next evening and orders the same item. When it is served, he says to the waiter, "These arms... are much smaller than the ones I had last night."

"Yes, senor," replied the waiter, "You see...the bull, he does not always lose.
