G.2. WORK PROGRAMME
Please summarise in the table below the planned partnership activities and mobilities for all institutions in the partnership.
Please present the activities for the 2-year lifetime of the partnership in a chronological order. The eligibility period of activities starts on 1 August 2010 and ends on 31 July 2012.
Please note that mobility activities can only take place between organisations receiving funding to participate in the partnership, or to events organised by Lifelong Learning (or predecessor) Programme projects or networks.
Mobility can be undertaken by staff and pupils/learners/trainees of the participating institutions and - in the case of mobility involving persons with special needs - accompanying persons such as parents, guardians or carers. What is counted as "a mobility" is one trip abroad by one person. Only transnational mobility (i.e. travel abroad) counts for the calculation of the minimum mobility numbers.

This point will not be very easy to plan:
ReplyDeleteHow many mobilities are we going to do?
We are six, so every school should travel five times and receive five schools in two years time!
Do we travel all together? I mean, are we all going to the same place at the same time? For example, when the travel is to Italy, will we receive 5 schools at the same time?
I think it will be very dificult to plan and arrange everything.
Maybe we will have to choose to work in couples, I mean, one school receives and one school travels. It will not be easy to find the dates, but it is possible.
How many people are travelling?
I suggest to ask for 24 mobilities, the maximum, so we could have funds sufficient to travel 5 times (€ 20.000) with a small group (oviuous that once received funds we are not obliged to travel only with 24 people, we can travel with more people, but not less than 24.
But the worst problem is: if one school doesn't receive funds and leaves the project, what does it happen? We should rearrange everything!
In the Comenius project which is running in my school this year - the last year of the CEEconomy project - we had 24 mobilities and each school received all the other schools in the project meetings. We are six schools and we have had four project meetings so far. The next one will be in March, in Arad, Romania.So, I think it is possible.
ReplyDeleteBut it's just my opinion...
24 mobilities means that we can travel, for example, six times and take four people each time. Or we can plan fewer meetings, for example four, and take more people, for example six -two teachers and four students.
ReplyDeleteIn the project we are now running we planned 24 mobilities and five project meetings, the host country doesn't count the project meeting as mobility.
You are right, Nicoleta,
ReplyDeleteif we all agree we can ask for the 24 mobilities.
But my question was: in Arad, Romania, is the meeting for the all group?
I mean, all the 5 schools are going there?
In this case, the host school should organize activities and hospitality for 5 schools (more or less, 4/5 people for 5 schools), am I right?
Sorry, Nicoleta, you have already answered to this question.
ReplyDeleteI think that we should ask for 24 mobilities. As we are the coordinator school, the first meeting could take place in Padrón in October or November and, since we haven't met yet, all of you could come here in order to plan work.
ReplyDeleteHow many teachers usually go on each trip? Two or three? When I went abroad in a Comenius visit, we were always two teachers but this was a few years ago. As for students, perhaps it would be better not to take them as many times as teachers, so that a bigger number of them could take part in the trip: for example, they could take part in two trips, but we would take 5 students instead of 2 in each. What do you think? Of course, they would stay with the students from the hosting country, wouldn't they? I also believe that not all the students from the different participant schools should be taken to a meeting at the same time, as it would be very difficult for the organising school to find a home for, let’s say, 25 students simultaneously.
If we are six partners in the end, we could visit all the schools but if the number finally increases, we would have to choose. I know It will be difficult for each school to receive everybody but the visits will only take place at each school once (¿?).
I think the students can be accomodated in youth hostels for a very small amount of money, it will be easier like that.
ReplyDeleteNicoleta, perhaps you are right, but, if it is possible, it would better for students to stay at other teenagers' home. It would be a more complete experience.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Paloma,
ReplyDeleteif it is possible it is better that students stay with their mates, so they will be "obliged" to speak English,
the youth hostel should be the second option, if they couldn't be received by any of the hosts students.
Teachers? I think we will travel in two, but let's see what will happen...
So if we will travel 5 times each school, we will be 5 (2 teachers and 3 students?)for 4 times and 4 for 1 time. I don't think it could be a problem to find 2/3 host students (Paloma, I don't understan why you said: "it would be very difficult for the organising school to find a home for, let’s say, 25 students simultaneously").
But, I think that the first meeting could be only for teachers, what do you think?
Anyway, we could decide this after having received funds.
I agree to you, Bruno. I think the first meeting could be only for teachers.
ReplyDeleteI'd like my students to visit Greece and Italy because of the subjects I teach. And if all the schools decided to visit Greece with students, it could be difficult for the Greek school to find home for all of them. This is what I meant.
If we receive funding for the project,it will be enough to take two or three students in each project meeting. I think it is only fair for the students to get to travel and know other countries and fellow students.More than that, I have the feeling that the National Agencies consider this as a good practice. But I might as well be wrong.
ReplyDeleteIf you like, all of you could come to Romania in 2011, sometime at the beginning of May, when the weather is warm but not too hot and we could visit places more easily.
we have to remember that:
ReplyDeleteif we receive the € 24.000 funds, we are not obliged to have "only" 24 mobilities, but "at least" 24. Actually, we could travel with more people.
But we also have to spend some money for hosting activity. for example, I would like to take the group to Rome and to some nice places here in Abruzzo, too.
So, it is not too much money indeed, and if we can save some money by hosting students by their mates, it would be a good idea.
2/3 students each school means 10-15 students for the meeting. of course, I'm not sure at all, but I think we can find 10-15 students to host other's students.
I think the first meeting could be in Spain in October/November 2010 and, if you are interested in bringing your students to Spain, of course, I would be delighted to host them.
ReplyDeleteBruno, and about the number of students, I meant they would spend a better time if a bigger number of them could travel together. So, if we can take only 14 students in total, 14 mobilities, perhaps they could take part in 3 trips intead of taking part in the 5 trips. But it is only an idea.
Your proposals:
ReplyDeleteSpain- October/November 2010
Italy- February/March 2011 (because of the weather it will be better to meet in Romania in May, so in Italy in March, won't be?
Romania- May/June 2011
Greece- March 2012
Italy in February is not advisable.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is not nice, yet.
The end of March or the beginning of April.
Otherwise it could be better in October 2011.
I think that Poland could host you in October or April 2012, for example, but I will know more tomorrow. The idea of students sleeping at their peers' homes also seems to be a good solution, the same the 24 mobilities you suggested.
ReplyDeleteI meant the beginning of October 2011 or the end of September 2011. These two months would be the best ones for us. So this is our proposal.
ReplyDeleteSpain: October/November 2010 (it would be better in October but we have to wait for funding)
ReplyDeleteItaly: March 2011
Rumania: May 2011 (could it be in June?)
Poland: September 2011
Greece: March 2012
Turkey: May 2012 (the last one)?
Do you agree on the dates? As we don't like travelling in winter, the meetings are too close.
For me is OK.
ReplyDeleteThe beginning of June, as school ends on the 15th of June in Romania.
ReplyDeleteNicoleta: "The beginning of June, as school ends on the 15th of June in Romania."
ReplyDeleteIt would be difficult for us to travel because our school usually closes after the first week of June and in that period we have a lot of meetings. I don't know exactly, of course, but maybe we'll have some problems...
we have just decided that although 2011 October is also suitable for us, 2012 May,as you have suggested, is the best date for us.It would give us a great pleasure to host the schools.I am going to write the general overview and history of our school. We have got a dormitory with 150 students. So we can host the students attending the project.
ReplyDeleteErdem
OK the work programme would be as I wrote yesterday:
ReplyDeleteSpain: October/November 2010
Italy: March 2011
Romania: May 2011
Poland: September 2011
Greece: March 2012
Turkey: May 2012
It is all right with me.
ReplyDeleteMay 2011.
Here is a possible work programme for the first year of the project:
ReplyDeleteWork Programme
Each school devises a quiz with 20 questions about its own country and carries out an essay competition on the topic “Who we are” about national identity and customs. September 2010
Results are evaluated and commented on. The best essays will be presented on the blog and on the website. A control team is installed at all schools to supervise and evaluate the progress of the project. October 2010
Each school carries out research work into its chosen topic: Poland – democracy
Romania – Maths
Greece – Greek art
Spain – mythology
Italy - Roman art
Turkey – waterway system
Each school will publish the results of the research on the blog/ webpage and will suggest a question connected with its topic for the other partners.
For example, Romania will investigate into Greek Mathematics, how the Greeks refined and expanded the subject-matter of Maths (deductive reasoning). November –December 2010
We will investigate the rebirth of Mathematics in Europe, how the Greek texts were translated into Latin which led to further development of Math in Medieval Europe . January- February 2011
We will look into the early modern Mathematics and follow the new mathematical developments, how they interacted with new scientific discoveries. March- April 2011
We will deal with the application of Mathematics to science, engineering, economics. May- June 2011
It's good, but although the topics are different we can't put six different programmes. We have to organise something similar for all the partners. We have to fill in a window and if you want to add another activity you have to click on +.
ReplyDeleteIn the work programme we have to include activities and mobilities.
