Activity - Wine Production in Cyprus - Filming, Exploring, Documenting the Ktima
Vassiliades “Oenou Yi” Winery at Omodos Village

Climate change will inevitably transform the way farmers
produce wine grapes which is a sensitive crop. Farming
traditions and practices used for centuries may have to change
due to climate change. Wine grape producers need to practice
new methods and experiment with grape varieties which are
more adaptable to hotter summers and warmer winters as well
as droughts and unexpected weather events like hailstorms,
spring frosts, flooding, and extreme heatwaves.

Erasmus Teachers and students from Regional Gymnasium of
Livadia who were working on the Erasmus Plus project:
Enocultura 2018-1-ES01-KA201-049936, had the opportunity
to work together with the European Teachers during the TPM
meeting which was organized in Cyprus (December 2019) to
meet the requirements of the Erasmus Plus Project: Let's be
Eco-sustainAble, towards 2030 2019-1-IT02-KA229-
062748_2. The purpose was to learn about Wine Production in
Cyprus and how climate change will affect the production of
wine in the island. Teachers and students had the opportunity
to exchange ideas and share good practices. Most importantly

they had the opportunity to discuss how the two Erasmus
projects can help students to become more aware about
climate change and how this will affect the wine production.
