Hello, everybody.
We have already filled in the application form with all our data. I had to copy the data from Greece, Poland and Turkey in my own application form because the forms these countries had sent me back came with something wrong, I don't know why.
Romania and Poland, could you please send me the data, including the number of your previous Comenius during the last 5 years? My school took part in other Comenius projects but that was more than 5 years ago, so we can't include our projects.
I understand that you all are willing to take over the coordination of the partnership in case the application of the nominated coordinator is rejected.
I'd like to complete the application form next week, so could you please answer the following questions?
- Do you agree with the draft of sections D end F that I sent you and which Bruno uploaded on the blog? Or would you like to change anything?
- Would you mind reading the draft of the work programme and the outcomes I am sending in an attachment and telling me your opinions?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Paloma

Everything is good, but I think we should add some more activities like:
ReplyDeleteConferences (the host school should organize a conference to introduce the hosted schools to local people, reporters, students and teachers from other schools, etc.);
Exhibition(for example, typical food, local craftworks, school system and, of coure, pictures, videos, essays, etc.);
Excursions (we will surely go to Rome and to Roman places in Abruzzo with a visit to a Roman Museum);
For me sections D and F are OK. Go ahead, Paloma :-)
ReplyDeleteWe could add somewhere:
ReplyDeleteThe results of the survey, pictures and videos, essays will be exhibited at the entrance, in the main hall or in the library of each school in a clear graphical form so that all the students and parents will be able to examine them for a long period of time. Where possible local media like radios, tv channels, newspapers or news wbsites should be informed.
In addition there will be final exhibitions about the project to show how our project is going on.
All the "final products" will be transmitted to the other schools, on CDs and DVDs as well as on the website of each of our schools and to our specific website and blog.
Organising press conferences and "European open days" at school will disseminate the research, the results of which will certainly be used for further examination of the topic.
1- I forgot to mention excursions. Of course, all of us will organise excursions to visit some interesting places, Roman or not, during the meetings. In Padrón and in Santiago you’ll be able to visit very historical places but not Roman remains. We’ll have to go to A Coruña (Hercules’ lighthouse and an archaeological museum) or Lugo (the most important wall in Spain). We’ll be able to visit these two towns depending on the length of the meeting.
ReplyDelete2- You suggest organising conferences about the participating countries. What do you mean? A conference about Spain in all the schools before the meeting in Spain? As you know, I need concrete ideas because we must do a kind of schedule: date and activity.
3- When I speak about an exhibition of work-in-progress I mean a long-lasting exhibition so that all the people interested in visiting it can do it.
4- We can upload the final results on the websites and record on DVDs in order to send them to the other schools, no problem.
Ah, I could add "inform to local mass media" after exhibitions and European weeks.
ReplyDelete1) OK, each school could organize excursions in some way related to the subject they are invetsigating;
ReplyDelete2)e.g. when all the schools will come to Italy, I will organize a press conference in my school, so every school could introduce itself to all the students of my school and to people who wants to come and listen to them. I will invite reporters, local politicians, students and parents of others schools,...
This is a good way to spread the results of our project, I know the National Agencies want something like that.
3)In that occasion we can organize an exhibition, I mean something like a fair (like the "feria de Abril" in Sevilla), where each class or group organize an exhibition of local products (above all food made by their mothers or relatives or maybe craftworks or local dressing, this is a good way to attract people to come to the conference and it is very easy to organize). At the same time we can show the product of the project with an exhibition of photos, videos, or everything already made. This second part could last for all the meeting and more if we organize it in the school library, near the main entrance of the school or in a place where people coming to school could see it.
The important thing is to show what we are doing.
4) OK
