Final Report

Dear partners,
I have sent the final report today.
It was such a pleasure working with you. Thank you for this priviledge.

Are you adventurous enough?

Dear all,
I have been thinking about the final report and come up with an idea - what would it be like to meet one more time, before the beginning of the school year, somewhere half way, and write the final report?
Just for a weekend, work together once more and have some fun..
How does it sound?
Are you interested?
It could happen, if we really put our minds into it.
Have a nice holiday and let me know what you think.

Italian-Turkish Week in Poland :)

Due to technological problems we’ve ecountered in the last 2 months, we’re uploading it so late. We are very sorry, but we have lost all our pictures. We managed to regain only few of them. From 21st to 27th May we organised the Italian-Turkish Week I our school. Our students had the possibility to learn some things about Italian and Turkish culture and places as students taking part in the project prepared a display of photographs presenting buildings, famous people and cuisine. Students who visited Italy and Turkey shared their experiences supporting their speech with photos taken during their stay. The biggest interest caused the belly dance. They also took the chance and tried to prepare the dishes themselves. On breaks we listened to Italian and Turkish music – Eros Ramazzotti, Tiziano Ferro , Tarkan and some folk music. Not only did we enjoy the music but also watched films, for example “Ginger and Fred” with Sophia Loren.

Comenius Week in Greece

We finally organized the Comenius Week in our school!!!

It included information about all our trips.

The kids talked and presented the countries they visited.

 

We also tasted local dishes and danced.

 

It was great to meet you all!!!

Thank you very much!

the delicious Turkish delights and sweets!

MEETING IN ISTANBUL (22^nd to 28^th March, 2012)

OUR FINAL IMPRESSIONS

• The project final assessment has been considered by every partner to be totally positive.

• The meetings turned out to be a whole success and we feel happy to say that a deep friendship, both among students and teachers, has come up from them. We trust both our friendship and our cooperation will be a lasting one.

• Furthermore, these meetings helped us have a closer contact with the social, politic and educational reality in each of the countries we visited.

• All of us are fully aware of how important the different subjects we’ve dealt with are. What’s more, our belief that the European reality cannot be explained without the ancient Greek-Roman civilization, where OUR ROOTS must be looked for, has grown even stronger.

FINAL REPORT AND DEADLINES

• The deadline for the final report should be checked on our national webpages. As far as we know, the final report consists on a common part for every partner and another one for each country to fill in. We think that the best way to agree on what to write on the common part will be by keeping in touch and mailing suggestions.
• As for the deadline to upload all the material on our webpage, Paloma suggests June, 15th. Alexandra, however, objects that this date may be too early for the Greek team and reminds everybody that the official deadline to send the final report and the material to our national agencies starts on August, 1st and ends on September, 30th. On the other hand, Paloma insists that it will be better for us to upload all our work on our webpage before the end of June since everybody will be on holiday later. Furthermore, we should take into account that the Romanian teachers and the students in charge of the webpage will probably prefer to finish as soon as possible.

EUROPEAN SHARED TREASURE

• As for the European Shared Treasure page, we have to wait for it to be opened. Alexandra has heard that this webpage doesn’t have too much room so she suggests that we create a link to our webpage. Although Paloma has no information about this point, she explains that, when she was invited to enter European Shared Treasure last year, the web place was presented to her as a way to keep our work safe. [According to the information she has for time being, the files cannot weigh more than 5 MB]

LAST ACTIVITIES

• All of us should go through the application form again in order to check whether there is something missing. Paloma promises to send everybody a document containing the work programme and the outcomes of our project.

• We ought to organize a kind of closing ceremony and invite all the school as well as the local community and authorities in order to present the final results. We mustn’t forget to invite the mass media, too.

• The coordinator will write a summary of everything we did, send it to all the partners and upload it on the webpage.

WEBPAGE OF THE PROJECT

• The Spanish team asks Liana to reorganise the Spanish part of the page since some of the material is mixed up. Paloma will send the webmaster a new version of the previous presentations including music.

E-TWINNING

• Paloma forgot to invite all the partners to join our project on e-twinning page. Anyway, only the Greek teams remembered to register. [At this time, all of you have been invited and sent the password you have to use. Please, would you mind checking if the password works and letting me know?].

EVALUATION OF THE STUDENTS’ PRESENTATIONS

• It was decided not to evaluate the presentations. Moreover, the Turkish meeting programme was so busy that it would have been impossible to do it. Perhaps, if we organize another project in the future this could be a point to be included as a goal.

FORUMPAGE

• Rita comments that Sasha, the boy in charge of the students’ forum, suggested closing the forum right now because the students prefer using social nets, instead of the forum, to keep in touch. However, the Spanish team would prefer to leave it open till the end of the academic year (i.e., the end of June): since the Spanish students must write their impressions of the Turkish meeting on the forum page, this should be kept open.

Italian week in Istanbul

In the 3rd week of February we organised Italian week in our school. 

 The students prepared the bulletin board including brief information about Pescara, Italy and photos from Italy and the students impressions about the country.

The headmaster and the teachers who took part in the meeting in Italy shared their impressions with the students in the conference hall of our school.

The students and teachers listened attentively Fatma and Manzume and  the teachers talking about their experiences about Italy and Pescara.

 Our two students who took part in the meeting in Pescara, made a presentation about Italy

 Fatma and Manzume showed some pictures of the museums they saw and talked about Italian culture.

 We cannot omit Italian cuisine. Of course they made a presentation about Italian cuisine.

 The students of our school along with the members of Comenius Team in our school saw the presenatation of some nice photos of the meeting in Pescara.

We watched the movie called "Life is Beautiful" starring Italian actor Roberto Benigni.
