We were welcomed by the Headmistress Ms Radostina and two student girls, dressed in beautiful traditional costumes, who showed hospitality according to the traditional Bulgarian custom, offering us a bread called pogacha and spicy salt. We took a small piece of bread, dip into the salt and ate it.

In the school a group of girls danced typical dances with baskets filled with roses.

10:30 Work session:

There were some interviews for the local TV before the work session, and Iliya - the Bulgarian school coordinator- explained the programme of the meeting and commented some important events happened in Sopot, pointing out that it is the birth place of the famous Bulgarian poet Ivan Vazov. After this, the schools started to present the new activities done since the last meeting in Büyëkçekmece, Turkey.

The Spanish school presented some posters done to celebrate the Comenius Week and a Power Point to keep the very good memories we have of the meeting in Büyëkçekmece. As coordinator school of the project Beyond Words, commented the work to be done until the meeting in Salamanca, Spain, in June.

The Greek school presented a Power Point to show the celebration of the Open Day at school, and the participation of the Comenius team in the European Teenage Book Exhibition. Liana, the Greek school coordinator also explained the Educational Drama Activity the students had performed about ‘FRIENDSHIP’: reflections and suggestions about the topic (friendship is like a mirror…), meaning of friendship (love, support, trust…). A really interesting teaching unit about the value of friendship. The last activity presented was a video clip about ‘solidarity’ called ‘Qui est au bout du fil?, a competition in French related to the relationship between Greek students and Dutch students of the School RSG SLINGERBOS / LEVANT. The song the students prepared about solidarity was really original.

The Turkish colleagues, Safiye and Funda, presented a very well done Power Point about the topic of tolerance, showing symbols and places of peaceful coexistence of Islam, Christianity and Judaism in Turkey.

The Italian colleague, Massimo, had prepared a superb video to present a new teaching unit: Awareness of Beauty. The images to show beauty through the golden triangle had been cleverly selected to understand the concept.

Riita, the Finnish colleague explained the last teaching unit her school had prepared: The Golden Age of Finnish Art.
This is an activity about values (hope, love, stream of life… including ecological values related to Nature.
The teaching unit included students’ paintings. It was amazing to watch how the students interpreted or imitated the meaning of classic Finnish artworks communicating values with their own paintings.

The Romanian school coordinator, Polixenia, presented a new teaching unit ‘Volunteering and its Art”. This activity included a Power Point to show volunteering in the field of art. The pictures showing Romanian work of arts promoting this values are very communicative.

The coordinator of the host school, Iliya, presented the last teaching unit they have prepared: ‘PATRIOTISM, love and devotion to the country through humanism, respect, gratitude and democracy.
This was a very interesting and educational activity in order to not confuse patriotism and nationalism, and to show a quick review of the Bulgarian history. The Bulgarian Comenius team had also prepared a teaching unit about traditions: ‘Calendars and Holidays’.

In the evening, after the work sessions, we visited the poet Ivan Vazov’s house and other interesting places in Sopot.

At 9:30 teachers and students were taking the chair lift to the top of the mountain.

After a pleasant walk in the National Park, we were motivated to enjoy a typical Bulgarian lunch at ‘Dobrila’ chalet. Everything was delicious: salads, roast lamb… and desserts.
Thanks to Rodostina, Iliya, Krasimira, Neliyan and Boddan (the sport teacher at school in charge of our physical security) for programming this awesome adventure of going up to the top of the mountain by the chair lift: it was the first time in my life and I dared to do it!

SUMMARY OF THE MEETING IN HARDERWIJK [JUNE 23, 2010] - [Index]

Issues proposed in the schedule of the 4th meeting

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

Arrivals at the airport of Schiphol. In the evening the participants arrived at Best Western Hotel Baars, a comfortable hotel located in the centre of the town of Harderwijk. Everybody was happy to meet old friends again.

Thursday, June 24, 2010

9:00 Welcome at school RGS Slingerbos/Levant in Harderwijk. General information about the meeting.

The RSG-Slingerbos / Levant is a secondary school for pupils from 12-18 years old in the middle of the Netherlands. It is situated in two different locations, in two cities. One in the polder, in Zeewolde, and the other in Harderwijk, on dry land.

Zeewolde
is a municipality and a town in the Flevoland province in the central Netherlands. It has a population of approximately 20,000. It is situated in the polder of Flevoland with the small lake called the Wolderwijd to the east. To the south is a large deciduous forest called the Horsterwold. The area to the west is principally agricultural. Zeewolde is known for its landscape and nature art; the most well-known art work is Sea Level by Richard Serra, located in the Landschapspark De Wetering. (From Wikipedia)

Harderwijk is a municipality and a small city in the eastern Netherlands with 42.000 inhabitants. It lies on what used to be the Zuider Zee shore (Southern Sea, now the IJsselmeer) and consequently its economy was strongly based on fishing and seafaring in general. This dramatically changed after 1932, when the Zuiderzee was cut off from the North Sea for safety reasons. Because of this, there are few fishing boats remaining in the harbour these days, which is now mainly home to yachts. (From Wikipedia)

The guided tour let us know the daily school life, and meet the teachers and the students in their classrooms while they were giving lessons on different subjects.

10:00 Presentation of the work done.

All schools involved in the Comenius project, according to what has been scheduled, presented the new work done since the meeting in Constanta, especially the materials concerning to the teaching units, giving a copy of them to each school to facilitate understanding and following the work done, and also to share the materials produced. Doing so, Spain presented a new unit about the topic of Happiness and the exhibitions and workshops to celebrate the Day of Europe. Italy also presented a unit about Happiness and some materials about ‘mandalas’. Holland made a presentation about Elos (Europe as a learning environment at school) by the coordinator of internationalisation Irene Groen. Elos is an educational concept which seeks to promote the European and international dimension in education. It is about preparing young people for a future in a society in which European integration and globalization are a reality. Elos is about students developing ‘Europe competence’: being willing and able to act as an active citizen in a European and wider international context. It is also about schools integrating this approach in their curriculum and school policies, and collaborating with partner schools and organizations abroad to develop a truly European learning environment.

12:30 Lunch at school.

13:30 New presentations about the work done until now.

The Romanian school showed the most important moments in the project and also the workshops to celebrate the Day of Europe. Finland presented a teaching unit about religion in Finland called ‘Church architecture as a mirror of the Finnish soul and identity from the Middle Ages until these days’. Bulgaria showed ‘young comments about Romania and Netherlands’. In the answers we realised that Bulgarian students were well informed about both nations, and also enjoyed their spontaneous and sometimes imaginative answers. The Bulgarian school also presented a teaching unit about happiness. Greece showed the work done about the Aegean civilization, pointing out the frescoes painted in a classroom and the unit about the topic ‘The emergence of universal values through the study of the Cycladic and the Minoan civilizations’. Turkey presented the activities carried out to celebrate the Day of Europe at school.

16:00 Sightseeing in the historical centre of Harderwijk.

The coordinator of the project in Holland, Irene Groen, was our guide during the visit to the city. We enjoyed walking along the streets and quiet alleys, watching the calm water of the harbour and the well-preserved wall of this Hansa town.

Friday, June 25, 2010

9:00 Meeting at school in Zeewolde.

We made a nice bicycletour to get at school in Zeewolde: lake, polder, woods including transfer by ferry. Cycling to Levant school was a marvellous experience, even a challenge for some of us after many years without cycling.

Discussion about the partnership’s magazine/newspaper.

The coordinator of the project clarified the doubts presented about it and commented the Report sent by his school.

12:30 Lunch

13:30 Evaluation and compilation of the work done so far. The finishing touch.

A few days before the meeting in Harderwijk, the coordinator of the project had sent a document to evaluate the work done during the first year of the project. The coordinator presented a compilation of the results of this survey to the partners.

We all agreed that an excellent work have been done: presentations to get to know each others, activities to publicise the project, leaflets, posters, brochures, celebration of the day of Europe, meetings in Finland, Greece, Romania and Netherlands, students’ exchanges between some schools, workshops, teaching units about universal values, and the website and partnership’s newspaper.

We also agreed that the communication among the students involved in the project needs to be improved. For the next year we will concentrate on this point.

Finally, the coordinator of the project made these proposals:

- Each school must do a compilation of the work done on a CD/DVD and take a copy to the meeting in Italy to give to the coordinator of the project. This is necessary to elaborate the final product of the partnership.
- To facilitate the compilation of the materials, the files shouldn’t be no more than 10 Mb. It would be better some small files about a matter than a large one.
- Making the files containing the activities, materials and so on… preferably in WORD, PDF and PPS (Power Point) and the videos in AVI, MPEG or WMV format. These files are easy to upload on the web and also to be compiled.
- If the files are not short and easy to handle it will be difficult to upload them on the website.
- About the meeting in Italy, it would be useful to intend to arrive at the same aiport and at the same time to organise the journey to Badia Polesine in group.
- PLEASE, PAY ATTENTION TO THESE SUGGESTIONS.

As coordinator of the project, I must congratulate all participants, teachers and students, for the work done and also for being so enthusiastic and creating so good atmosphere during the meetings. Thanks to everybody for your cooperation and help.

20:00 Dinner together.

Irene was so nice inviting all of us to a barbecue in her beautiful garden enjoying traditional Dutch things to eat. There was a very good atmosphere among all participants, and the warm weather helped to spend a wonderful evening.

Saturday, June 25, 2010

After this, all the schools involved in the Comenius project, according to what has been scheduled, presented the new work done since the meeting in Thessaloniki, especially the materials concerning to the teaching units, giving a copy of them to each school to facilitate understanding and following the work done, and also to share the materials produced. I would also like to mention the presentation of the materials each school had prepared for the workshops the students were going to work on. The topic, suggested for the host school, was ‘The Shapes and Symbols among the centuries in my homeland’. As general coordinator, I must congratulate everybody for the interesting and motivating activities produced for the workshops.

We also used the work session to reflect on the developing of the project and to evaluate the work done until the present time. My personal opinion is that now everybody has clearer ideas regarding how to elaborate the teaching units about the universal values.

Morning: Teachers and students: Tour in Constanta city.
Afternoon: Teachers: Tasks for the next project meeting; proposals to celebrate Europe's Day; ideas for the partnership's magazine/newspaper, as the first issue will be released in June before the meeting in the Netherlands.
Afternoon: Students: Workshop: "The Shapes and Symbols among the centuries in my homeland"
Evening: Teachers, students and parents: Romanian evening and hosts’ surprises.


In the morning we had a guided tour in Constanta. We visited the ‘Muzeul Marinei Romane’, the ‘Muzeul de Istorie Nationala si Arheologie’ and some other interesting places such as the Archeological Park. We have also planned to visit the Orthodox Cathedral, the Mosque and The Casino close to the Black Sea, but there was no time.
Visiting Constanta we learnt that this the second most important city in Romania from the economic point of view, as well as the number of inhabitants. We also learnt this is a multimillenary city, founded under the name of Tomis by the Greek colonists coming from Milet, and that nowadays has become the most important harbour at the Black Sea, and the sixth European harbour as size and volume of transited commercial merchandise. We could appreciate Constanta is a city with important historical monuments, museums and churches that is worth to visit.

In the afternoon, teachers discussed about the contents and contributions for the partnership’s magazine/newspaper, which first issue will be released in June. We agreed to send the contributions non later than the 31st of May to the coordinator in Spain. We discussed how to celebrate the Europe Day as well, and suggestions and concrete proposals were made about it: exhibitions, workshops, worksheets and lectures at each school.

The general coordinator also talked about the size and the kind of format of the digital files used to send the materials by the Internet.
It is important to remember and follow this advices to facilitate the compilation of the materials produced by the partnership:

- The PREFERABLE format of the files: Word, PDF, PPS (PowerPoint), AVI, MPEG or WMV. If other file, please tell me in advance, to have the necessary programme on the computer to open it.
- The size of the file: No more than 10 Mb. Better two short files than a large one to be uploaded on the Internet.

Meantime teachers were working on the Comenius project, students had activities on the workshop "The Shapes and Symbols among the Centuries in my homeland".
First the students saw the PowerPoints presentations prepared by each school, and then made some activities related to the topic. The students told me they have enjoyed and learnt many things with the workshops' activities. I am sorry because I missed the workshops; at that time teachers were met working on other matters of the project.

According to the schedule of the project, these are the activities to be done until the meeting in Harderwijk, in the Netherlands.

19-Apr-10> Continuing with the elaboration and development of teaching units on the chosen topics. Review and evaluation of the teaching units done until the present. Designing and performing activities to publicize the project.
03-May-10> Activities to celebrate Europe's Day: workshops, games, exhibitions, lectures...
10-May-10> Planning, creating and writing materials for the 1st issue of the partnership’s magazine.
01-Jun-10> Releasing of the 1st issue of the partnership’s journal.
23-June-10> Meeting in the Netherlands: review, compilation and evaluation of the work done so far. Planning new tasks.

In the evening we were surprised with a theatre-evening by the Romanian students. They sang and danced traditional music, even in our own languages! Sincere congratulations to all the boys and girls who took part and, of course to the teachers, because altogether managed to prepare such a talented performance. The traditional Romanian things to eat afterwards, was really a new surprise.

Teachers and students: Cultural Dobrudja - excursion

Early in the morning, at 7:30, everybody was at school to take the coach to go to Tulcea. It was a trip to visit the Danube’s Delta. First we visited the "Centrul Ecoturistic Delta Dunarii', a modern building you can miss visiting to be well informed about wild life in the delta.
At mid-morning we took a boat to go round the Danube river. The weather was nice, even timidly sunny. The long trip on the boat was wonderful. Chatting with friends all day long was especially enjoyable. What can I say about this romantic river when everything seems to have been said? Better nothing, I would not like to spoil the personal impressions the river gives to everyone. The Danube is a gift of nature for all those countries the river is going through.

Saturday, April 17, 2010

For students it was a family day. We teachers were visiting the town and shopping.
The farewell dinner in a Romanian traditional restaurant with so good atmosphere, music and things to eat was a wonderful end.
At the end of the evening, the sadness of saying goodbye was mixed with the hope of meeting again soon in Harderwijk, the Netherlands.
We did not know yet, the unexpected Comenius adventure that awaited us the next day.

APPENDIX OF THE SUMMARY OF THE MEETING IN THESSALONIKI - [Index]

 
APPENDIX
 
A PERSONAL EXPLANATION OF WHAT A TEACHING UNIT IS.
 
A teaching unit or didactic unit was traditionally called lesson. Well, there are some differences between a teaching unit and a traditional lesson. Traditional lessons were made up by contents and activities. Theoretically speaking didactic or teaching units are made up by several elements or parts:

Title - Rationale - Goals/Objectives - Contents
- Methodology - Activities - Resources - Timing - Evaluation


In my opinion, in our didactic units we should focus only on these elements: title, contents and activities
 
Other important elements: rationale, goals or objectives were already designed in the project and they were proposed considering the specific units we were to prepare. I mean they are valid for all the units because, according to the project, they will form a whole, a set.

Page 12 of the project: All the work performed will form a whole; still it will be structured in didactic units, the contents of which will be the different artistic expressions that convey the proposed concept, idea or value.

The other elements: methodology, resources, timing and evaluation are important, of course, but not to the point of being necessary to be specified in a project so large as our project. Those elements can be determined at the moment of working on the unit in an specific class by each teacher.

 

SUMMARY OF THE MEETING IN EFKARPIA THESSALONIKI [JANUARY 20, 2010] - [Index]

Issues proposed in the schedule of the 2nd meeting.

JANUARY 21ST - THURSDAY

- Official welcoming at school: information about the host school and guided tour.

It was a great honour for the partnership to be welcomed by the Mayor of Efkarpias. Thank you very much for his hospitality and friendly words.
Mr. Nikolaos Samarinas, headmaster of GYMNASIO EFKARPIAS, after welcoming the participants, wished everybody success in the work and to enjoy the stay in Thessaloniki. His kind and motivating words were the best way to open the meeting and also helped to make us feel at home.

The guided tour let us know the daily school life, and meet the teachers and the students in their classrooms while they were giving lessons on different subjects. Greek pupils took the opportunity to show their skills in foreign languages greeting the participant teachers.

- Presentation of the Greek educational system.

The presentation of the Greek educational system enabled us to know it, and its explanation facilitated us to understand the education in Greece.
To know the educational system of other European country is always an interesting experience to reflect on the topic of education: its challenges and solutions.

- Presentation of the Greek team’s work.

After the presentation we all realized that the Greek team had done an excellent work about the communication of universal values through art works. The contents and activities of the didactic unit about the universal value "joy of life" were very well prepared and designed, and we perceived the high level of the students’ involvement. The students gave us a piece of work they themselves had made. Thanks for this beautiful art work.

- Surprises from the Greek students.

We enjoyed a lot with the typical dances some schoolgirls performed, and also with the songs some students played. We all loved the dances and the songs. The song "Equality", written and composed by Jannis Stratos and Antonis Ezanidis for this project, and performed by the school’s musical group "Every Fear" was the great ending of a marvellous performance: an unforgettable surprise.

- Presentation of the work done by now by all the other schools.

The participant schools had many activities to present regarding to the work done and they were eager to show them, but unfortunately there was not much time and each school had to make a selection of the materials they had prepared. We all have the Cds given by each school to view quietly at home the compilation of the work done.

JANUARY 22nd - FRIDAY

- Evaluation of the work done by now.

The Turkish school explained and presented the work they have done by now because there was not time to do it the day before.
Then the coordinator school, IESO QUERCUS, made an assessment of the work done by his school:

- Encouraging students to exchange e-mails.
- Creating, running and updating the partnership’s website.
http://e-quercus.es/comenius/
- Producing materials: posters, leaflets, brochures and digital files (Power Points and PDF).

a) Posters and leaflets to publicize the project.
b) Brochures to inform about the school, the town and the province. (PDF format)
c) Power Points to complete the information given in the brochures.
d) Power Points to present and summarize in images the meeting in Espoo and to wish Merry Christmas and Seasonal Greetings to the Partnership.

All these materials are uploaded in the website and some of them can be printed.


Finally, the coordinator school made a short evaluation of the work done by his school summarized in these points:

- For some teachers is difficult to follow the project because they cannot speak English. But on the other hand they are motivated to learn English and the project is a challenge to do it.
- Lack of time to produce materials and coordinate the work during the school time. It is often necessary to spend extra time, even at home.

But despite this, we consider the experience of participating in the project and the work done very positive, educative and pleasant. The best: the opportunity to meet teachers and students so enthusiastic and share ideas, activities and experiences with all of them, contributing to disseminate the idea of the European citizenship.

- Planning and organizing new tasks until the next meeting.

According to the schedule of the project these are the activities to be done until the meeting in Constanta, Romania:


01-Feb-10 - Starting to design teaching units on the topics about universal values chosen by each school. This work will continue until the end of the project, combining it with the other scheduled tasks.

01-March-10 - Creating a blog of the partnership.

01-Apr-10 - Reviewing, organizing and evaluating the work done so far in each school. Sending the results to the coordinator to be compiled.

The most important task in the future will be to produce teaching units about universal values using as contents the art works of the culture of each country. In the next meeting, each school should present the work they are doing about one teaching unit. It is not necessary to present a finished unit, but at least to explain how the school is working on this matter and the topics they will study.
At the end of the project each school must have done between 5 and 10 units. The topic of the units will be some of the universal values: peace, solidarity, brotherhood, equality, dialogue, friendship, freedom, justice, happiness... or any of human rights (review the page 12 of the project).

AGREEMENTS:

I remind all of you to write a short evaluation or opinion about the work done by now, but only of your own school, I mean each partner has to make the report only of his/her school, and please send to me. We did not have time to do this in the meeting, and we agreed to send it to the coordinator by email.

- I also ask you the email address of all the teachers involved in the project. I would like to send some information, not only to the coordinator in each school, but also to them.

- We also agreed to do our best in order to encourage our students to exchange emails among them. The specific agreement was to motivate our students and ensure that all the students will receive at least two emails from each school.

- I also remind you that in the next meeting each school should present the work they are doing about the teaching unit (also called didactic unit or lesson). It is not necessary to present a finished unit, but at least to explain how you are working on this matter.

- Guided tour of Thessaloniki (visit to the Upper Old Town, St. Dimitrios Church, the Byzantine Museam and the White Tower).

Before lunch time we had a guided tour. We visited the Upper Old Town and enjoyed with wonderful views of Thessaloniki. St. Dimitrios Church is a very old church and it is worth to visit the crypt.
Instead of the Byzantine Museum we visited the Archaeological Museum. It houses finds from the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods, mostly from the city of Thessaloniki but also from the region of Macedonia in general.
The museum is housed in a building designed by the architect Patroklos Karantinos and is a sample of the modern architectural trends of Greece.

JANUARY 23RD - SATURDAY

- Visit to Vergina (the capital of ancient Macedonia)

Vergina is a small town in northern Greece, about 80 km. south-west of Thessaloniki, the capital of Greek Macedonia. The town became internationally famous in 1977, when the Greek archaeologist Manolis Andronikos unearthed what he claimed was the burial site of the kings of Macedon, including the tomb of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. We visited the Ancient Cemetery of Aegae Royal Tombs in Vergina and were very impressed by the finds and treasures exhibited in the museum.

SUMMARY OF THE MEETING IN ESPOO [NOVEMBER 2009] - [Index]

Presentation of each partner school.
Comment: The presentation of the schools was made in several sessions. The teachers presented their institutions, towns and countries to the partnership. The presentations were original, amusing and motivating to know each other.

General agreements about the proposed strategies, objectives and methodology for the next two years. (pages 12, 15, and 16 of the project)

Comment: There was no discussion about this point. I should understand that there is not disagreement on these issue, and that the strategies, objectives and methodology of the project are clear for everybody.

Presentation of ideas given by the teachers and the students of the participating countries.
Comment: In this point some schools suggested specific activities to be done. All the ideas and activities that could be integrated in the project are welcome, but only the tasks specifically proposed in the project are obligatory for all the partners. I encourage everybody to collaborate in the new activities proposed by any of the partners, but it should be understood that, if they are not written in the project it is not obligatory, and the schools will collaborate according to their possibilities and available time.

In short:
The schools may suggest to perform new activities in addition to those written in the project, but they are not obligatory for the partnership. If any school want to do an extra activity, of course can be asked the cooperation of the partnership, surely there will be schools ready to collaborate.
The activities proposed in the project are in the pages 30, 31 and 32, and the coordinator will remember the activities to be done every month.

Review of the work done until the moment.
The work to be done until the meeting in Espoo was sent by email under the title of: PROPOSAL OF WORK

From 15th of September to 15th of October:
DATA EXCHANGE AND ACTIVITIES TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
- Email-contact among the pupils from the participating countries to get to know each other

Each school must send a list with the email addresses of the pupils involved in the project to the other schools so that the pupils could exchange messages. If they have ‘messenger’ they could also chat among them. The idea is that the students of every school exchange messages with all the other schools.
- To produce digital files, for instance a PowerPoint or some PowerPoints to show to the other countries the own school, the town, the surrounded area...

These presentations can be made by students and teachers. When they are finished, send the files by the Internet to the other countries.
- To produce a DVD compiling these presentations in English for all partners.
This DVD could be use in the presentation of each school during the project meeting. Looking at each other’ DVDs will help to know each other. In the first project meeting every school should give a copy of its own DVD to the other schools. Later I will find the way of producing a larger DVD with all the presentations, and this DVD will be one of the final products of the partnership.

From 16th to the 31st of October
- To design and print a brochure (poster, leaflet... ) to publicize the project.
Every school should design a brochure (poster, leaflet... ) to give publicity of the project in the school, in the local community... A copy of the brochure will be give to the other schools in the first meeting.

Comment: It is necessary to finish the work proposed to be done until the meeting in Spoo before Christmas. I mean:

1. To send a list with the email addresses of the pupils involved in the project to the other schools so that the pupils could exchange messages. (Till the moment only Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and Spain have sent the list)

2. To produce digital files, for instance a PowerPoint or some PowerPoints to show the other countries the own school, the town, the surrounded area... (I need a copy of these presentations to upload them in the website of the partnership and also to compile all of them in a DVD or CD)

3. To design and print a brochure to publicize the project. (It could be a poster, some kind of leaflet... and send the file to the coordinator by the Internet to be uploaded in the website)

In short, each school should send a file of the presentation and also a file of the poster, leaflet, brochure... to the coordinator to be uploaded in the website before Christmas, and also to send a list of the students’ emails, but this as soon as possible.

Solving and clarifying specific problems and doubts. Agreements on the contents and activities within the project. Distribution of tasks and planning of works.
Comment: I have tried to solve the doubts some partners had about some sections of the project, mainly in informal conversations. Anyway I suggest to review the page 17 of the project, and if you have any doubt, let me know.

Organising cooperation and communication between the schools.
Comment: This point wasn’t discussed. I suggest to review the page 18 and 19 of the project and if you have doubts, let me know.

Presentation of the partnership’s website.
Comment: The website address is
http://e-quercus.es/comenius/

Agreements on pupils´ involvement. Presentation of the strategies of integration of the project into learning and other ongoing activities in every school.
Comment: I suggest to review the pages 22 and 23 of the project. Each school is free to decide how and how many students are involved. On the other hand, concerning to the integration of the project in the curriculum of the school, in Spain this is strongly demanded by the educational authorities, and according to this, the activities of the project are integrated in some areas of the curriculum: history, art, music, computer, ethics, modern languages… but not in all the countries is in this way.

Review of the strategies of dissemination and use of the results, experiences and products to be done by the partnership.
Comment: This point was not discussed, but I suggest to review the page 24 of the project and if there is any doubt, let me know.

Fixing the dates of the meetings:
Country Date Year
GREECE 20 - 24 January 2010
ROMANIA 13 - 18 April 2010
HOLLAND 23 - 27 June 2010

Comment: This issue wasn’t discussed. As soon as possible I will send a proposal of work to be done till the next meeting in Greece. This proposal will follow the activities proposed in Section 6. PROPOSED ACTITIY DATA (pages 30-31-32 of the project).
