Virtual Mobility 4 was our last virtual mobility. The first part of this mobility consisted of one main task, which they had to prepare beforehand: 

The hosts and their guests had to meet up on one or several video calls and interview/discuss their every-day lives: What they like to eat, hobbies etc. The second part of the discussion was plan what they would eat and do together in their spare time when they were in Italy. This task was supposed to bridge the culture gap by knowing what to expect, and to make host and guest more familiar with each other already before the physical mobility. We found this acitivity worked well and people mingled most over cultural borders in Italy. 

The second part of the virtual mobility consisted of information and preparation for the upcoming physical mobiity in Italy

Task description: 

1. The Italian host and the guest need to meet virtually four times before they meet in Italy at least four times. During these virtual meetings between host and guest they need to complete the following tasks: 

   •  Conduct a discussion about different topics and create a presentation together, describing how you will do it together in Italy.  Subjects: 

     1. Breakfast  - What do you eat for breakfast, what will we eat for breakfast together during our time in Italy?
