2019/11/11-15 - First Meeting in Spain

1. ACTIVITY DETAILS 

The first staff training was celebrated in Spain (Madrid) in November 2019, during 3 days excluding travelling days. There were 3 teachers from each participant school taking part in this meeting.

In the three-day training these activities were developed:

1st Day: Presentation of the school, the town, the country and its culture and educational system, having some warm-up activities like icebreakers; dividing tasks and roles.

2nd Day: Observing lessons such as Science and Technology, Information Technology, Maths, Foreign Language.

3rd Day: Discussing curriculum, student-centred education, inquiry-based learning, using ICT in lessons and trying to find out what appropriate technologies can be useful for teaching and for the presentation of reports.

Moreover, in this meeting, the partners have deeply discussed about responsibilities and tasks preparing a shared detailed list of all the activities and responsibilities, distributing the roles in line with the expertise of each school. Each partner will be responsible of a specific work package such as:

- Introduction of the participant schools;
- Selection of the project logo;
- Designing the project website;
- Creation of an eTwinning page;
- Designing a Facebook page and blog.


2. DEVELOPMENT


All the activities listed above were developed. At the high school, all partner countries attended the opening of the entrepreneurship classroom, with the presence of educational authorities of the Autonomous Region of Madrid and the city council of Alcorcón. They visited the orchard, where the people who usually take care of it explained how they were collaborating. They also attended experiments at the physics laboratory and visited the rest of the school facilities. They also attended some of the lessons.

We chose the logo and motto of the project and planned the different stages, meetings and activities for the rest of the project, which are to be developed in the next two years.

These days we were greeted by the Mayor of the city of Alcorcón and by the director of the Glass Museum of the city.

It is worth noting the collaborative work and the good atmosphere that was achieved during these days, which encourages us to prepare the next meeting, which will take place in Italy.

3. OTHER ACTIONS


After the meeting, each of the participating countries has carried out the tasks they had been assigned. In our case (Spain), we have made a blog in which the summaries of the different activities and some photos of the meetings will be uploaded. Furthermore, it will be used as a means of communication between the participating countries.

A WhatsApp group for the coordinators of the project was created.

An eTwnning space was created by the high school from Karaman.

A Facebook account was opened by the school from Mersin.

The French high school is responsible for making sure that the tasks are being carried out in a timely manner.

Each country has installed an Eramus+ point at their school.
