The third transnational meeting was held in Riga between the 6^th and 10^th May 2019. Assistant head Ms Victoria Cassar and teachers Ms Joanne Sultana and Ms Karen Attard participated in these meetings. These meetings focused on evaluating the work done during the course of this project as well as the participation of each partner school to prepare the TNT Guidebook and the final report. Year 5 students Meagan Vella and Hailey Ballucci stayed with a host family. It was an amazing experience for them. They had a taste of how students and families from a different culture spend their days at school and at home. At school, they joined lessons and activities and also went on a day trip to the the ethnographic open-air museum of Latvia and Laima Chocolate factory museum. At home with the host family, they played games, watched TV (particularly a game of Hockey and supported the Latvian team), joined the family during training at the local swimming pool, went to the zoo and visited the Old City of Riga.

Asst Head Mr Joseph DeBrincat and class teacher Mr Charles Bajada represented our school during transnational project meetings held in the Netherlands as part of the TNT (Together Now for Tomorrow) Erasmus+ project. These meetings took place between the 15^th and 19^th October 2018. They also had the opportunity to see how the Peer-Mediation System works in two different schools (Deventer and Leerdam). They were given hints on how they can start using this system in their own school in order to:

1. Curb instances of bullying
2. Empower students to be able to face conflict and resolve it
3. Enhance students’ self-esteem
4. Develop an attitude of tolerance for different cultures, religions, sexual orientation and intellectual diversity

This will help in promoting harmony in tomorrow’s Europe.
