Second Online Transnational Project Meeting

  • The second Transnational project meeting was online in June and September 2021 because of pandemic.

     

     

     

    Here is the report of the transnational project meeting and the new calendar of our project:

    Report

                Leaflet

    Creation of a leaflet in order to promote the historical/religious buildings of each area, especially the neglected or abandoned ones. It will include information about the history, culture, natural environment and tourism around the sights of religious interest.

    School journal

    A biannual school e-journal, summarizing all implemented activities, hosting pictures and articles of the students about religious heritage and their experience in the program. The Italian and Hungarian schools will be responsible for the publication of the first issue. The French school will be responsible for the publication of this second issue.

    2nd eTwinning sub – project “Art & Religion”

    We will study and present religious art. This may involve paintings or icon-painting, religious music, different architectural norms, furnishings, monuments, sculptures, frescoes, silver, vestments, libraries. In order to present them, students will create videos with photos taken during the semester and will be musically enriched by traditional religious music.

    Religious Route Application

    With the vision of the economic and touristic growth of the areas around the local Religious heritage, we will create an application (Religious Route) describing the religious buildings and giving information to visitors of each area about the religious heritage. It will be written in English and the media used will be software.

    Exceptional costs : 2000 Euros

     In order to perform the Activity P8 of the project which is related to the mapping of the Religious Route and the creation of a map application, it is necessary to have a specific equipment and to have specialized knowledge about programming for Android or ios. To be clear, we need a portable GPS and an appropriate software. Due to the fact that all the members of the project are school organizations, it is impossible to have this kind of technological equipment. and this specialized knowledge. It is apparent that the students will write down all the interesting elements that involve the religious route but they don't have the ability to map them and to create an application for smartphones.

    So, we are proposing the cofounding of the specific activity. We are asking to hire a company that will undertake the responsibility to map the routes (or to buy the appropriate equipment in order to be used by students themselves) and create the application . This would improve the students' skills through their work with modern technological equipment and programs.

     

    3rd eTwinning sub – project “Religious traditions/ Festivals

    Students will make a survey on the traditions and religious festivals of their region/religion. They will study and present them to the other partners. At the same time, they can find religious stories or traditions that indicate lack of “religious spirit” such as “the burning of Judas”. Taking into consideration the stories/traditions students will be called to create stories in transnational groups. This will give students the chance to cooperate, exchange ideas and sensitize them promoting empathy and solidarity.

     

    A story book

    Creation of a book of stories related to cultural/religious traditions/festivals. This will give students the chance to cooperate, exchange ideas and be sensitized promoting empathy and solidarity.

    4th  eTwinning sub – project ““Religious and Social issues

    We will deal with issues having to do with religion and society. There will be given various issues of study which each school can choose from. Students can do survey either bibliographical or by questionnaires or interviews on their theme. When this is done, they will present the results and their suggestions to the local communities and the partners through semi – conferences, articles and the school journal. This activity will enhance dialogue between partners and exchange of ideas.

    A digital album

    Creation of a digital album in memory of the project.
