News from Europe: Comenius Proect December 2011
COMENIUS PROJECT: LATVIA, FRANCE, ROMANIA, FRANCE AND TURKEY
Welcome to our Comenius Project first magazine! In these newsletters we will attempt to capture all of the information relevant to our project. We will feature: student’s work, project initiatives, country reports, ongoing goals, future meetings, report on country meetings, feedback on meetings and other initiatives that come up.
About Us: The main purpose of the project is to raise the European cooperation and a healthy lifestyle among students, but also among their families, the local communities and to the wider lifelong learning community. Our project permits teachers and students to discover the strength of working together, learning from each other and, moreover, provides all participants the possibility of exchanging experiences. The purpose of sharing new views is to produce enthusiasm and make the learning-teaching process an enjoyable experience for all. The contribution of schools from five different countries will motivate the participating students in the project to continue learning in order to improve their language and ICT skills, because most of the communication between students and teachers will be based upon modern technologies (e-mails, video conferences, chat rooms). It will have an extra benefit using a foreign language in a real context, away of the limits imposed by a text book.
Our First Meeting in Romania Our first meeting took place in Novaci, Romania. During the weeklong meeting, all country partners learned about each participating school, country details, goals, aspirations, and overall expectations of the program. In addition, a mascot and logo, prepared by students, was selected. Students from the school in Novaci gave presentations on what it means to be a healthy student, ways to change bad eating habits to healthy lives, presentations on country partners and a short play on eating healthy. Country partners were also introduced to various Romanian traditions through music, food, touristic places, history and culture. We hope you enjoy reading about our activities.
