  • COMENIUS PROJECT    2013-1-TR1-COM06-47699-3

    Type of visit: 4th mobility ITALY 

    Period:  01ST-05TH APRIL 2014

    Place: Milan

    Participants: 14 teachers and 18 students from Turkey, Greece, Poland, Norway, Romania, Portugal and France. Spain not present. During the mobility teachers stayed in the hotel and students were hosted by Italian families.

    Host school: IIS "Curie-Sraffa" , Milan, Italy.

    TEACHERS:

    During the first workshop teachers worked on the questionnaire about the European Union, which they had already prepared in their own countries as homework following the instructions given by the coordinator. The questionnaire has five topics: European history, European identity, European enlargement, European mobility, European citizenship. We discussed the questions for each topic and then we selected the suitable questions for the final questionnaire.

    During the second workshop we discussed how to publish this questionnaire on-line and we decided to publish it on the Project Website “http://eustories.eu”, which has been created by Norway. Teachers will send their e-mail addresses to Norway in order to create accounts for both aimed participants: teachers and students. Teachers and students will log in the website and answer the questions.

    During the third workshop we decided that we will use the results of the online questionnaire for the production of the e-booklet, which is our future task. The e-booklet will also include the comments of the students about the European Union.

    Norway showed and explained us the website and its different parts and instructed us how to use the “itslearning” platform.

    During the fourth workshop Norway showed us how to improve digital stories. We talked about Norway mobility in May and we established our future homework:

    • collecting e-mails and sending to Norway;

    • Norway will prepare the accounts and publish the questionnaire on the Website;

    • Answering the questionnaire;

    • collecting the data and comments (France task);

    • preparing the e-booklet (Italy task)

     

    STUDENTS:

    Students had different activities: they worked on the Comenius Hymn, which they performed all together during the European Comenius evening. They attended Italian classes, they did different sports activities (such as gym, archery and “Comenius games”), practised and prepared some products in the Chemistry lab of our school.

    They also had the chance to observe and live the Italian culture thanks to the hosting in Italian families.

     

    COMMON ACTIVITIES:

    Common activities were prepared for both teachers and students such as observing classes, cultural events (visiting the city and some of its monuments) and feeling the Italian atmosphere through different gathering events/meetings.
