The fifth meeting of the project took place at the University of Cyprus in Nicosia (Lefcosa). The meeting began with a guided tour in the library. An important topic was the status report, followed by feedback from partners on course development. The further activities included a workshop on H5P, focusing on creating effective and flexible H5P activities for Moodle modules and efficient translation into other languages. Similarly, a workshop on CANVA was held, addressing the creation of effective and flexible CANVA activities for Moodle modules and their translation.

About the library
The new building on the northeast end of the campus in Cyprus is designed as an architectural landmark, housing 620,000 printed volumes, 190,000 electronic book subscriptions, 12,000 journal subscriptions, and over 180 databases. It integrates the Library, Language Centre, center of technology for teaching, and Information Systems Services (ISS) in a single modern multifunctional space, promoting the use of electronic and other media for learning and information support.
The structure blends with the landscape, appearing as an artificial hill similar to nearby hills, partially open on the south and north sides. Its 15,700 m² area spans five levels, including a basement, ground floor, and three upper floors, with a cylindrical core surrounded by three wings.
The Library’s five superimposed rings around a central atrium feature reading rooms open to the void, bookstacks on the outer ring, and a large reading room with a terrace garden on the top level. Thirty glass study rooms for group work are attached to the cylinder.
A dome with a heliostat covers the Library, directing natural light onto a central reflective cone to illuminate lower levels. This design ensures a controlled, comfortable reading environment with continuous daylight throughout the building.
