The history of our workshops and our activities
By virtue of the fact that there was no preparative meeting before the beginning of the program (the whole application was written with absolute agreement among the coordinators of the participant schools) it was decided that a lot of details as far as the organizing is concerned should be discussed during the first meeting of the Comenius project in Tartu, Estonia.
Before the first meeting a list of the holidays of each school was created
so that we could finalize the dates of the following meetings and the
teachers’ exchanges as well.
1 – 8 of Nov 2008
We
programmed the whole project. We found the dates for the meetings and the
teacher exchanges. We discussed about the “Open days”. We decided for our
common website &
Blogspot.
We decided that our aim of our workshops during the project is to start from
the beginning «0». So, according to the following table which we created
altogether, we decided about
the topics of all
the workshops. During each meeting we chose a group of topics and we had to
work with these until next meeting. During the next meeting, we had to
present our products and of course evaluate them.
All the
partners present their countries and schools with power point presentations
and DVDs and local traditional dances and music. We organized the next
meetings and the pupils’ participation. We organized the teachers’ exchanges
for the
1st year.
1st year
The teachers’ exchanges and the attendance of school classes give the opportunity to teachers to have the “perfect” experience of the way of teaching, the organization and function of the partner schools.
