Description of the project Comenius is a program which is promoted by the European Union in order to help young people and teachers to better understand the linguistic and cultural diversity that characterizes European citizens and Europe. Our school, Escola Secundária Frei Rosa Viterbo, developed a two year multilateral Comenius/ eTwinning project (2011/2013) titled "Photography as a Pedagogical Tool"(P&P). “This project is based on a pedagogical approach in which students use their cameras to observe the world around them, with the aim of establishing bridges between contents learned in class and reality.” This way pictures become a resource for the learning process, supporting school subjects like Mathematics, English, Biology and Geology, History, Chemistry, PE and Portuguese. Some of the activities developed during this project were the Feelings exhibition, Gestures exhibition and Multidisciplinary activities approaching multiculturalism and multilingualism and environmental threats. Some of the most important results were PowerPoint and Prezi presentations, websites, quizzes, booklets and videos concerning several themes. Those activities were done and promoted during the exchanges carried out and in the partner schools from the following towns: Sátão (Portugal), Mataró (Spain), Boiano (Italy), Kaunas (Lithuania), Plock (Poland), Blatná (Czech Republic) and Ankara (Turkey).

Objectives  Promote European education based on respecting and valuing other cultures and languages;  Encourage sharing and team work;  Promote the mobility of teachers and students participating in the project activities;  Encourage the active participation of parents and the local community in school life;  Stimulate both students and teachers to take advantage of their communication skills to interact with people from other cultures;  Foster the use of different tools like a photographic camera to learn;  Contribute to an innovative education that supports the use of the latest technology, intercultural communication and creative thinking;  Help to comprehend different subjects by showing students the connection between contents learned in class and in their everyday life.

The project logo

A competition was held in the seven schools for the project logo. The winner logo was the Portuguese logo which represents the diaphragm of a camera, where we can see the flags of the seven countries involved in the P&P Comenius project. Together, those flags form a circle, such as the stars in the flag of the European Union. The eTwinning symbol is, of course, located in the center of the P&P logo.

The project exchanges: Moments to be cherished and shared

Primeiro Intercâmbio em Kaunas (Lituânia) (12-16 Março de 2012) O Comenius é um programa que se foca em todos os níveis escolares, desde a pré-escola e primário até ao secundário. Deste modo, é pertinente para todos os que fazem parte da educação escolar: alunos e professores, autoridades locais, representantes de associações de pais, organizações não-governamentais, institutos de formação de professores e universidades. Assim, este programa da União Europeia visa ajudar os jovens e os docentes a compreenderem melhor as vastas culturas europeias, línguas e valores. Além disso, ainda auxilia os jovens a aumentarem as habilidades e competências necessárias para o seu desenvolvimento pessoal, emprego, futuro e para o correto exercício da cidadania. Este é um projeto do Comenius/eTwinning com duração de dois anos, orientado para a ação de aprender. Os alunos deverão pegar nas suas câmaras e explorar o mundo em seu redor, a fim de procurar ligações entre os conteúdos de aprendizagem abordados nas suas aulas e da realidade circundante. A fotografia torna-se, assim, um instrumento de apoio ao processo de aprendizagem. O Projeto P&P, “Fotografia, um Instrumento Pedagógico” conta com a participação de sete escolas do ensino secundário: Sátão (Portugal), Mataró (Espanha), Boiano (Itália), Kaunas (Lituânia), Plock (Polónia), Blatna (República Checa) e Ancara (Turquia). A nossa escola, a Escola Secundária Frei Rosa Viterbo é, pois, parte integrante deste projeto. De 12 a 16 de Março de 2012, decorreu o primeiro intercâmbio de alunos e professores, em Kaunas, na Lituânia. Neste intercâmbio participaram as alunas Mariana Santos, do 10.ºD, Ana Margarida Almeida, Ana Mafalda Feliciano e Filipa Machado, do 11.ºD, e as professoras Maria Piedade Silva, Elisabete Almeida e Ana Cristina Esteves. Nós (os alunos), e os professores fomos recebidos numa cerimónia de boas vindas, que contou com a participação de alunos da escola anfitriã, que nos prendaram com atuações (canções, poesia, danças) magníficas. Na cerimónia, estiveram presentes também o diretor da escola e uma deputada em representação do ministério da educação. Após o delicioso almoço, no refeitório da escola, os alunos dos vários países fizeram as apresentações que haviam preparado sobre o seu país e escola. Este momento foi muito útil no sentido em que adquirimos um maior conhecimento sobre outros países, nomeadamente as suas culturas e o funcionamento das suas escolas. Terça-Feira tivemos a oportunidade de participar numa aula de Inglês, onde nos foram apresentados vários powerpoints sobre o ambiente e causas da sua degradação, e, também, numa aula de arte, onde nos foi pedido um desenho que expressasse a nossa primeira impressão da escola. Assim, tivemos a possibilidade de contemplar as diferenças e as similaridades para com o nosso sistema de ensino. É de relevo dizer que a impressão que guardamos dos alunos lituanos é a de serem muito aplicados, estudiosos, disciplinados e talentosos. Seguidamente deslocámo-nos até ao pavilhão escolar para uma aula prática. Aí fomos divididos por equipas e praticámos vários desportos, acabando por ficar em segundo lugar na competição. Depois do almoço, na cantina escolar, voltámos a ser divididos em grupos para aprendermos mais sobre a língua dos diversos países, tendo-nos sido depois lançado o desafio de saber três palavras em cada uma dessas línguas: “obrigada”, “por favor” e “desculpe”. A meio da semana, dia 14 de Março, fomos de autocarro visitar a capital, Vilnius, uma viagem que durou pouco mais de uma hora. Quando chegámos ao nosso destino visitámos um castelo, o que nos deu oportunidade de apreciar uma bela vista sobre a cidade. Posteriormente, almoçámos

numa pizaria com os nossos parceiros lituanos e com os alunos espanhóis. Durante a tarde visitamos a parte mais antiga da cidade e um castelo. Na viagem de regresso divertimo-nos bastante ao conviver com os nossos colegas. No dia 15 de Março, a gelada manhã (para não variar) começou com a realização de um questionário sobre os vários países; assim, discutimos as respostas e aprendemos mais algum vocabulário. A tarde foi também muito interessante. As nossas parceiras levaram-nos a uma visita pelas ruas antigas de Kaunas, onde tivemos a oportunidade de apreciar a beleza arquitetónica, as lojas tradicionais, o Castelo. Ainda saboreámos um agradável sushi! Posteriormente regressámos à escola, onde se deu a festa disco. Nesta festa, tivemos a oportunidade de nos conhecermos melhor, assim como de partilharmos opiniões sobre os nossos géneros musicais favoritos. Quando já se fazia noite, o fantástico grupo foi para o centro comercial Akropolis. Esta viria a ser a última noite que estaríamos todos reunidos, já que, no dia seguinte, os espanhóis, os checos, os polacos e os turcos regressariam aos respetivos países. Já no centro comercial, dirigimo-nos todos para o bowling. Aí, jogámos, rimos, reforçámos os laços de amizade. Foi um momento delicioso. Menos delicioso foi o que se seguiu. Chegara a hora de nos despedirmos dos nossos companheiros. Não foi despedir, mas antes dizer um “até já!” Sexta-feira. O último dia. O cansaço já se fazia a sentir. Não bem cansaço, contudo talvez uma pequena fadiga física. Após uma semana tão cheia, menos não seria de esperar. Porém, “quem corre por gosto, não cansa!”. Neste dia, foi-nos dado um free time, ou seja, pudemos, de facto, fazer o que quiséssemos, pois não havia nada programado. De manhã, encontrámo-nos com as nossas parceiras e seguimos rumo ao derradeiro dia. Iria ser mais fantástico do que esperávamos. Fomos conduzidos para um lugar que, certamente, não iremos esquecer. Era uma espécie de praia fluvial. Até aqui, tudo normal. Todavia, ao pisarmos a areia, deparámo-nos com a água, aliás, com o gelo! A água encontrava-se congelada, devido às baixas temperaturas dos últimos dias. Foi simplesmente fabuloso e ficámos maravilhadas com aquele fenómeno, para nós, raro, único. Pensamos que ficámos todos mais enriquecidos após este intercâmbio. As impressões e recordações que guardaremos da Lituânia serão sempre as de um país amável, generoso, honesto, respeitoso, grande adepto do basquetebol, patriótico e, sobretudo, muito atencioso. As famílias de acolhimento fizeram o seu melhor no sentido de nos sentirmos em casa. Esta foi uma experiência memorável e muito positiva, uma vez que nos ajudou a desenvolver as nossas capacidades na língua inglesa, mas, acima de tudo, permitiu-nos contactar de perto com outra realidade totalmente diferente daquela a que estamos acostumados. Deste modo, os objetivos a que o Comenius se propõe, de melhorar e aumentar a mobilidade de alunos e de pessoal docente em toda a União Europeia, de ampliar as parcerias entre escolas em diferentes Estados-Membros, de incentivar a aprendizagem de línguas, de promover conteúdos baseados nas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação, inovadores, e de motivar a utilização de melhores técnicas e práticas de ensino, foram, sem qualquer resto de dúvida, superados.

1st exchange in Kaunas, Lithuania 12th to 15th March 2012

Segundo intercâmbio em Plock, Polónia, Junho de 2012

O projeto comenius é uma iniciativa fantástica que proporciona aos alunos uma forma diferente de conhecer novas pessoas, sociedades, culturas, países e valores. Desta forma a exploração e descoberta do munda alia-se à aprendizagem ao trabalho e ao meio escolar de uma forma única para os jovens. O segundo intercâmbio de alunos e professores teve lugar de 4 a 8 de junho de 2012 em Plock na Polónia e foi organizado pela escola parceira ZESPÓŁ SZKÓŁ CENTRUM EDUKACJ. Neste intercâmbio participaram a Ana Rita Correia, a Inês Nunes e Mariana Cunha, o José Eduardo Sousa, A Beatriz Lourenço e a Mariana Lourenço, acompanhados dos professores António Casal e Ana Isabel Almeida e Maria Silva. Para além de se terem operacionalizado as atividades planificadas na última reunião para cumprimento dos compromissos assumidos na candidatura, foram realizados trabalhos de coordenação do projeto na plataforma do projeto eTwinning e foram agendadas as atividades e produtos finais a criar até ao próximo intercâmbio a realizar em Sátão de 1 a 4 de outubro de 2012. Os alunos e os professores foram recebidos numa cerimónia de boas-vindas animada pelos alunos da escola parceira, onde a música e uma peça de teatro foram os elementos mais atrativos da receção.

Estiveram presentes, além dos alunos e professores envolvidos no projeto, o diretor da escola, e representantes da Agência Nacional e do ministério da educação.

Os alunos dos vários países fizeram as apresentações que preparam sobre vários aspectos da cultura dos seus países e sobre as suas escolas. Neste intercâmbio, fez-se a disseminação, sob a forma de uma exposição fotográfica, dos resultados da atividade “Gestures: Guess What” realizada em todas as escolas parceiras, tendo culminado num concurso do qual a equipa portuguesa saiu vencedora. Foi ainda ensaiado o hino do projecto com todos os alunos e professores. Durante a nossa estadia também realizámos diversas viagens. Visitámos Varsóvia, a capital da Polónia que viveu períodos atribulados no século passado devido à invasão nazi durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e à opressão e regime totalitário submetido pela união soviética. Esta cidade belíssima e rica em história possui diversos monumentos e uma vista deslumbrante. Também visitámos Toruń, a cidade natal do famoso matemático e astrónomo, Nicolau Copérnico. Distingue-se pelo estilo arquitetónico gótico, o que evidencia que Toruń é uma cidade medieval. A última cidade por nós visitada foi Sierpc, onde observámos um peculiar museu ao ar livre. Aí fotografámos as habitações e o vestuário característicos do século dezanove e início do século vinte. Durante a estadia, os parceiros que nos acolheram mostraram-se preocupados com o nosso bem estar e incansáveis em assegurar a nossa segurança e conforto. Com esta ida à Polonia todos nós vivemos momentos inesquecíveis que marcaram as nossas vidas. Foi uma viagem cheia de peripécias e bons momentos, extremamente produtiva e enriquecedora para cada um de nós. Durante uma intensa semana conhecemos alunos e professores de outros países, com hábitos e estilos de vida completamente diferentes dos nossos, o que contribuiu para conhecermos novas realidades e culturas. A interação estabelecida com os outros jovens com recurso a uma língua diferente da nossa permitiu-nos enriquecer a nossa comunicação. Partilhámos experiências, conhecimentos, sorrisos, gargalhadas, músicas e até comida! E foi essa partilha, sentida e vivida por todos, que permitiu o sentimento de amizade e carinho que ficou, certamente, aprisionado em todos nós!

2nd exchange in Plock, Poland 4th to 7th June 2012

3rd exchange in Matar贸, Spain 11th to 13th June 2012

Evaluation Report of the 4th Comenius Exchange held in Sátão 1- Our partners’ perspective 1.1. Students’ opinion In the context of project “P&P – Photography as a Pedagogical tool” Comenius/eTwinning, our school, Escola Secundária Frei Rosa Viterbo from Agrupamento de Escolas de Sátão,hosted the fourth exchange of students and teachers from six countries: Czech Republic, Lithuania, Italy, Turkey, Spain and Poland from the first to the fifth of October. The twenty-seven students who participated in this exchange stayed in students’ homes and the thirteen teachers stayed in a hotel in Viseu. Twenty-five families received the foreign partners with a great hospitality. The programme of this exchange was organized by Portuguese students and teachers who are involved in P&P Comenius project. This fourth exchange aimed at sharing and disseminating the results of the project work, developing intercultural sensibility and enhancing linguistic and social competences of all participants. During their stay our Comenius partners participated in a range of activities that enabled a better contact with Portuguese culture and traditions. The students attended classes of different subjects, took part in sport activities and participated in the Intercultural Peddypaper prepared in the context of the celebration of the “European Week of Languages”. They also visited our town Sátão and the cities of Viseu, Porto and Costa Nova. At the end of the exchange, the students and teachers filled in an evaluation questionnaire where they revealed their satisfaction towards the exchange’s activities and organisation. The students and to the families who hosted our partners were also given the chance to give their opinion about this experience through answering a questionnaire The twenty-seven foreign students gave their opinion about the following areas: overall satisfaction with the exchange programme, Comenius programme activities arranged for this exchange in general, overall experience of their stay with their host families in Sátão and the impact of the exchange in their personal growth According to the answers analysed, the majority of students were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied in most parameters theu were inquired about.. The parameter which seemed to gather more choices in “somewhat satisfied” or “little satisfied” was related to the creativity of the activities. However, when they were questioned about the Comenius programme activities, the great majority of students were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with all activities. Some students have expressed lack of satisfaction towards the school meals. About the overall experience of students’ stay with their host families, with one exception, all students were very satisfied. One student complained about the lack of helpfulness of her partner. Students considered that the exchange had helped foster autonomy, independence, self-confidence, the development of communication skills in the foreign language and the understanding of other cultures 1.2 Teachers’ opinion According to the analysis of the answers from the thirteen partner teachers, the majority of teachers were satisfied with the helpfulness of the local students and coordinator, the interaction with local students, with Comenius partners and with the diversity of activities developed in our school. Contrary to students’ opinion, all teachers considered positively the creativity of the activities, having the majority answered to be “very satisfied”. About Comenius programme activities of this exchange, the teachers were also very satisfied with the activities that were developed. The aspect that was less positive for them was the meals at school with one teacher who was little satisfied. A remark: all teachers replied they improved very much their understanding of countries from other cultures and other languages. 2- Our perspective 2.1. Students’ opinion Twenty-two answers host students replied a questionnaire to give their opinion about the experience of hosting a partner from a different

country. The students were questioned about their first fears, the positive aspects, the changes that they felt with this experience and the difficulties that they had. The analysis of the replies to the questionnaires, allows us to conclude that most students want to repeat this experience and they think that it is an unforgettable week. The majority of students revealed that they had no fear in hosting their Comenius partner, but four students revealed some kind of fear related to the difficulty of adaptation of the partner in their homes, the different food habits and the reception of students that they didn’t know. All students said that liked to have their partner in their homes and they want to repeat this experience because it is a way to learn about new cultures and to meet new people without leaving home. About the difficulties that the students felt, some of them mentioned food or communication issues, the difference of ages and the conciliation of school work and the activities of exchange. The students presented many positive aspects, like the improvement of their English, the conviviality that they lived and the variety of cultures they could learn about. All the students think this exchange had a positive impact in their life, mainly on the improvement of their knowledge of foreign languages, on the increase of contacts with students from different countries, including through the Internet (Facebook and e-mail) and on the enhancement of knowledge about the countries involved, their cultures and traditions. They also felt that this contact provided a greater understanding and respect about some cultural differences, particularly in reducing certain stereotypes related to the Turkish habits (way of dressing or religious practice). To conclude, all the students said that they would like to receive, again, somebody in a project like that and the main reasons presented were the interaction with people from other countries, with different cultures, the improvement of English and the possibility that it provides to increase their cultural and linguistic horizons. Some students claimed that this project should continue and it should be known by more schools and involve more countries. 2.2. Families’ opinion The families who were involved in that exchange also gave their opinion and they also demonstrated their contentment with this experience. The questionnaire they filled in was similar to the questionnaire applied to the host students and it focused the following aspects: their first fears, the positive aspects, the changes that they felt in their son with this experience, the difficulties that they have and the contribution that this exchange had to the interaction between teachers, families and all school community. The analysis of the twenty-three answers collected, allowed us understand what the families thought and felt about the exchange. Most families didn’t have any fear in receiving a student from another country, but two families revealed some of their initial fears. They mentioned the difficulties in communication and the situation of having a stranger in their home. All families liked the experience of being a host because it was a new experience that enabled them to learn more about different cultures, to share Portuguese traditions, to interact with a foreign student. It provided the opportunity to collaborate with our school Comenius project, enabling their child to be open to different situations. In relation to the difficulties felt, the families mentioned the food and communication, and the necessity to adjust the usual activity of the family according to the guest partner. . In addition to the positive aspects mentioned by the students, the families also mentioned the opportunity of sharing Portuguese culture, our town Sátão and a better understanding of other cultures and habits, mainly religious habits. All the families who answered the questionnaire think that this exchange had a positive impact on their child’s personal growth. The families wish to recommend this experience to other families because it was motivating and interesting to watch the involvement of families during that week; it created a spirit of cooperation and respect about other cultures and it helped make the students more responsible because they needed to take care of their partner. One family also think that school should invest more in initiatives like that. Overall, we can consider that this exchange was a success, all families, students and teachers were very satisfied with this experience as they revealed in their answers to the questionnaires.

Algum tempo livre para umas comprinhas. Valeu a pena!

2º dia…8 de abril

5º dia…11 de abril

Finalmente o dia em que conhecemos a “nossa” escola turca, a Mustafa Azmi Dogan Anatolian High School de Ancara, onde tivemos o privilégio de sermos presenteados com uma magnífica Cerimónia de Abertura do intercâmbio: interpretações musicais, shows de dança, o Henna Night Show, enfim momentos inesquecíveis com a cultura turca! Neste dia decorreram, também, as apresentações dos países parceiros, momento a cargo dos alunos envolvidos nesta mobilidade. Assim, alargámos os nossos horizontes culturais no que respeita à língua, história e geografia dos países envolvidos. E…ainda… um momento interessantíssimo… a apresentação da arte Ebru… tipicamente turca, em que vários alunos e professores tiveram a oportunidade de experimentar. 3º dia…9 de abril O dia começou com uma competição… mais um desafio cultural: cada grupo de alunos tinha de completar um puzzle composto por fotos dos sete países parceiros. Os vencedores receberam os devidos prémios e tudo decorreu pelo melhor. A meio da manhã, os alunos assistiram a aulas na escola turca e participaram em atividades desportivas. Um ótimo meio para se saber mais acerca do sistema educativo turco. De tarde: momento destinado a explorar a cidade de Ancara. Locais que vale a pena visitar. Aqui vai: o Mausoléu de Atatürk…imponente…imperdível; a Mesquita Kocatepe; a Mesquita Haci Bayram e o Templo de Augusto; a zona das casas históricas de Ancara- Hamamönü District. Tudo o que não se pode deixar de visitar na capital turca!

Fantástica visita de estudo à Capadócia: tivemos a oportunidade de explorar belezas naturais únicas, as fabulosas chaminés de fadas, as cidades subterrâneas, os vales a perder de vista. Uma verdadeira viagem de sonho para muitos! E nós tivemo-la!

6º dia…12 de abril Festa de despedida dos parceiros: concerto de música rock no Nazim Hikmet Cultural Center de Ancara. Foi espetacular.

7º dia…13 de abril Regresso a Portugal. Então? Foi ou não foi uma vivência cultural única nas nossas vidas? Of Course!
