Epilogue
Our project Cononect has co-
me to its end. It got a difficult
start, because initally it was
refused by the jury twice for
grants. Actually it got enough
points, but the credits by the
EU were not high enough to
grant every good project. But
we persevered and thanks to
my Swedish colleagues it was
reworked and finally, two
years later, we got the money
to start. I learned a lot from it,
it was far more than worth the
effort. The students had a uni-
que experience, but we the
teachers perhaps even more.
Canal Locks
A canal gate is a device for raising
and lowering boats, ships and
other watercrafts between stret-
ches of different levels of rivers
and canal waterways.
The advantages with canal locks is
the ability to go from different
water levels, that you can travel
against the tide, it takes care of
the arrangements between the
tides and it can shorten the distan-
ce between places.

Moments to cherish?
I’ll never forget that day in that
gracious Kalambaka oak wood,
the truffle hunt with the well
trained Brio. Everybody asto-
nished about the infallible nose
of that dog, helping mankind
to find the treasures of this
earth. And an hour later our
students found two families of
ten blind pups, born only few
hours before, let behind for a
certain death by that same
mankind. My students rescued
the dogs. But in almost one
and the same moment we
learned how mankind behaves
towards animals: in the most
exquisite way, but also very
brutal… A thrilling experience.
