In Wiener Neustadt, Austria, and at the Bilingual Junior High School (BJHS), the third and last meeting of the KA210 European Erasmus+ program entitled Communicating and Learning is Life Changing- C.L.I.L., which concerns the use of a foreign language, was successfully held from 8 to 12 April 2024 in education and has a duration of 18 months from 31.12.2022 to 30.06.2024. In this specific program, apart from the 6th General High School of Trikala, the Scientific Association For The Promotion of Lifelong Learning (Greece), the Bilingual Junior High School, Wiener Neustadt (Austria) and the Lukioliikelaitos Tavastia Hameenlinnan Lyseon Lukio (Finland) participate.

After the partners were warmly welcomed by the school Principal and the program coordinator, the welcome ceremony continued with an impressive choreography, well executed by a group of girls of the school in the multi-purpose hall. Afterwards, the presentation of the specific school as well as the Austrian education system took place in the meeting room, followed by a tour of the school's facilities.

The work started with the presentation by each partner of the completed project objectives and the planning of the remaining projects to be completed by the end date of the project. The partners then attended two didactic scenarios in the field of robotics by a SAPPLE representative. The specific scenarios were implemented in selected sections by the students of the school, who responded with willingness and enthusiasm to the proposed activities.

On the last day, after a successful week of actions, the meeting in Austria was closed. After the project dissemination events were discussed and planned, the partners were awarded certificates of participation as well as mementos.

Alongside the program, the partners had the opportunity to visit, admire and learn important information about Wiener Neustadt from the students of the school who undertook their tour. They also had the pleasure of attending a hearty welcoming ceremony by city officials at the Old Town Hall.

During their stay in Wiener Neustadt the partners had the opportunity to get to know the history, culture, culture, lifestyle and cuisine of this Austrian city. The hike up the HoheWand, a hill of exceptional natural beauty with towering trees and unparalleled views, was unforgettable. The visit to Rust, with its many stork nests, and Lake Neusiedl, the largest lake in Austria, on the Austro-Hungarian border, is also fascinating. Finally, as part of the Erasmus+ program, a day trip took place in Bratislava, the capital of neighboring Slovakia.

The third and last meeting in Wiener Neustadt, Austria was a unique opportunity for communication, exchange of views and experiences, development of cooperation and friendship relations and unforgettable moments that compensate for the sadness caused to the partners by the end of the program and will carry them together forever them from now on.
