ERASMUS+ Projects





"End of the Line" is the name of an Erasmus small-scale project produced in Cyprus in collaboration with the CYENS Centre of Excellence and Fox Media Documentaries. The project is a result of an Erasmus+ educational package that includes the VR experience End of the Line and a learning manual created by the CYENS Centre of Excellence in Cyprus. It explores the lives of a father and son, the fifth generation of fishermen, who have recently noticed a dramatic decrease in their catch—from substantial to almost non-existent. The VR experience places pupils from the Mediterranean area with the fishing family as they set their nets in the sun and rise early to check them, only to face consistent disappointment. The diminished catch has forced them to sell their fish directly on the street, rather than through fish sellers in the city.

 LIONFISH project

The son, Pepis, has given up living from his father’s trade as a fisherman.

Most of the team behind or connected to the Erasmus+ project in Cyprus.

One day, the fisherman's son dives from the side of the boat to investigate the cause and discovers pollution, depleted oxygen levels in the water, and an invasive species, the lionfish, which has decimated the local fish population. In the accompanying learning material, the pupils of Cyprus are discussing solutions to specific problems. One is to build robots with Lego mindstorms to fix the situation.

Can robots be of help to the situation? STEM solutions are an integrated part in the project.

This project sparked some interest in Europe. Among them was an invitation for Robert Fox from Fox Media Documentaries to come and present the work at the European Greens Extended Congress in Lyon during the spring of 2024
