The aim of this project is to help encourage cross-cultural cooperation and appreciation of the diversities within Europe, to explore ways to confront discrimination and to highlight a European dimension. Through the study and comparison of lifestyles and values, the students will uncover the commonalties which traverse all European cultures. The students will compare and contrast these cultures and through multicultural team building and team work they will reach a spirit of cross-cultural cooperation, compromise, awareness and appreciation of the diversities within Europe. Furthermore, they will explore ways to confront discrimination, thus ‘discovering’ alternative means to contribute to tolerance and social integration.
The preparation of the project’s proposal took place in December 2012 in Poland
The first meeting of the project took place in Spain, Pamplona from the 2nd to the 6th of November 2013. During the meeting, all the participating students got to know each other through warm up activities and poster presentations. They had the opportunity to present their countries to the others, show videos of their everyday life in their respective cities/ villages, dance and learn Spanish dances, go out together, visit Pamplona and be hosted by Spanish families. The meeting was an absolute success and it certainly fulfilled its goals. The students left feeling gratified by the whole experience but also saddened that they would part from their new friends. There were even tears on saying farewell. They promised each other regular contact through social media networks and other ways.
The second meeting of the project took place in Verona, Italy from the 22nd to the 26th of January 2014.During this meeting the students played warm-up games, they presented their personal posters and they watched videos which they made on the basic greetings in the six languages. Additionally, they played a digital game specifically designed for our project on the six countries. They made friends, went out together , did shopping together, went round the city of Verona and generally had a great time . Saying goodbye was again rather difficult!
This was our third trip and it was in Dej, Romania.It took place from the 29th of March to the 2nd of April 2014. It was an unforgettable experience and our Romanian hosts did their best to please us! It was great to meet so many new people and make so many friends.
This was our fourth trip under our Comenius programme. We had a splendid time and worked hard! We had the chance to meet new people, make special friends and see a different country and its culture.Don't forget to surf on our site and see how we spent our time.
The visit to Cyprus was the fifth visit of our Comenius project. It took place from the 28th of January to the 1st of February 2015. All the participants stayed in a hotel in Limassol by the sea. They all worked together, played warm up games, presented videos on each country's myths, legends and superstitions and visited and played a board game especially made for our project. It was a very fruitful meeting and all the participants had great fun.
This was our sixth and final visit. The students and teachers had the chance to taste Finnish cuisine, visit Huittinen and Tampere and of course get the taste of sauna. Also, during the meeting, the participants played warm up games and did the puzzle with the 6 countries' maps while wearing their TDA teeshirts. Everybody said goodbye with a common promise: We will work in another project soon!
