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.
