Between April 26th and 28th 2022, the last meeting related to the transnational Erasmus + project “BOOM-Basketball Opens Our Minds” involving Italy, Lithuania, Spain and France was organized virtually by Azuolas Gynnasium in Varena, Lithuania. All the countries involved in the project agreed upon the virtual mobility due to the containment measures and management of the epidemiological emergency of Covid 19. The Lithuanian hosts organized different activities that could be easily carried out by the students during online meetings. On the 1st day, the Lithuanian students showed videos of their town and of their school, with a special focus on basketball history and traditions. Students played subject-related Kahoot games to test their knowledge and learned the Lithuanian national anthem. On the second day, an online meeting with the referee R. Brazauskas was scheduled, so students worked together in different virtual rooms to prepare all the questions for the interview. They also prepared a basketball glossary and attended lectures. On the third and last day, international matches played by the students (filmed in advance) were shown. During the breaks, some short videos were shown, prepared at home before the online meetings, in which the students from each country performed aerobic dances. The activities in our school took place under the supervision of the teachers Ms Rosarianna Merola, Ms Roberta Cacciapuoti and Ms Adriana Giugno. The meeting ended on April 28th, with debates concerning the most meaningful parts of the project and farewell speeches.
