The rest of the mobilities planned for Italy and Hungary could not be carried out due to the health alert status due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
As we have already said above, the mobilities planned for Italy and Hungary could not be carried out due to "Force Majeure" due to the state of health alert due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the instructions of the Sepie "Guide for the registration in MT + of cases of force majeure by Covid-19" of Sepie were followed, which indicated that it was not necessary to register them and what happened in this report should be explained as is done to continuation.
Regarding the mobility of Job Shadowing at the Silvestro dell'Aquila school in l 'Aquila (Italy) scheduled for the dates of March 13 to 21, 2020, flights and accommodation reservations had already been made at the time of the declaration of the state of alarm. These had to be canceled due to the cancellation of mobility due to "Force Majeure", a circumstance that was communicated to Sepie on 3/5/2020. Later, the expenses generated by these reservations could be recovered through the Nautalia travel agency with which we contracted the services.
The mobility to be carried out in June in Hungary, which was aimed at direct observation of good educational practices in terms of inclusion, could not be carried out due to the international health alarm of COVID-19. However, in the structured course of the first mobility to the Netherlands, different activities related to group dynamics and inclusive activities were carried out that were applied with our students.
