On Tuesday, 28th June 2016, I
presented our final products and two years’ work to my colleagues. I told them
something about the final results and where they will be able to find them, as
well as about the other activities the students had done in the past two years.
I also explained what it was like in every participating country and shared my
experience with them. At the end, I thanked them for helping me out. Here are
some of the pictures:
Involve me and I learn – presentation for
our parents and teachers
On Wednesday, 15th June 2016, we
presented our project to some of the teachers and parents as part of the 7th
panel. We already presented our project to other students and teachers at the
end of November 2015, when we had panels about the 6 participating countries
and their schools.
This time, we decided to decorate one of
the classrooms and present our final thoughts to our parents and teachers.
Since the project finishes at the end of August 2016 and we already visited all
of the participating countries, we wanted our guests to see what we had been
doing for the past two years. The whole presentation was carried out by us,
students, and we also prepared some sweets for everyone invited.
First, we presented what our final products
are – the Good Practice Guide, the Career Guide and the Comparative Analysis of
Participating Schools. Then, the students who went to Trieste, presented their opinion
of the school there, as well as people and the whole experience of staying
abroad. They also told us something about what it was like hosting foreign
students in Ljubljana. Next, the 7 girls who went to Iceland explained what it
was like and what they liked about the school they visited. The students who
went to Greece shared their experience and told us a bit about the school in
Elefsina. Finally, the students who went to Spain presented the school in
Cartagena and what they liked there. At the end, the teacher thanked the
students for being so cooperative and well-behaved during the past two years;
the teachers for helping with the project; the parents for supporting us; and
the principal for giving us the opportunity to be part of Involve me and I
learn project.
We also mentioned all of the activities we
had done, and were really surprised because there were so many of them! We also
reminded the visitors that they can find all of the information about our project
on our school’s webpage: http://gimvic.org/international/news_and_events/
and our blog: http://erasmus2d.blogspot.si.
On Friday, 27 November 2015, the students of 2.D class organized an event called 'Involve me & I learn DAY' at Gimnazija Vič. The students prepared 6 panels on each of the participating countries and 1 panel with the logo and name of the project. They also prepared a quiz about each country with some of the most common proverbs in different languages and some typical food. The event took place during the main break and there were a lot of students from other classes who came to see what was going on. The 2.D class students had badges with the I&L logo on them and were prepared to answer any questions connected with the project. We believe the event was a success, because everyone enjoyed - 2.D class students, other students and teachers.
We also prepared a short video and a selection of photos about the event. The panels are still on display in the school's main hall and are going to stay there until the end of the week.
What some of the students said:
I, as a presenter, had fun and I think so did the visitors to our stand.
Veronika B.
I think it was great. The whole idea was great and so were the responses of the students who participated. I feel like everyone was eager to participate and gladly answered the questions even if they did not want to take their reward - something sweet. The teachers also liked it. Ana D. F.
I thought it was great and it was fun to see other students and teachers enjoying themselves. Rebeka T.
I think all of the participants were thrilled about the food and interesting questions, which were not too difficult but also not too easy. It was interesting to see how all of them started translating the proverbs from the same perspective and then at the end reached the same conclusion. Janja Z.
I think our event was interesting to all of the students, because there were a lot of them who stopped in the hall and participated. The idea turned out to be great, and it was nice to see the students stopping in front of and reading the information on the panels. Ema M.
Personally, I enjoyed taking part in such an interesting presentation of our project. Everything was great and even better than I had expected. Špela B.
Our presentation of the project was unique and everyone who was passing by could not resist the atmosphere, sweets and quizzes. According to the laughter and interest of students we can say without doubt that we managed to prepare a great event. The students, as well as teachers, had lots of fun! Zarja B.
We prepared a great event amongst other events that take place at our school on a daily basis. The food was definitively a plus. The guests/visitors will remember us because of the food, which was free but they still had to work for it J Urban L. S.
At the beginning of June 2015 13 students
of our class went to their primary schools to tell the pupils there something
about our Involve me & I learn
project and to show them the video about our school.
We visited 5 primary schools in Ljubljana
and its vicinity and talked to approximately 330 pupils and 20 teachers. Before
having our presentations we had to get in touch with the principals of primary
schools to set the dates. We presented
the project to 8th grade pupils (the ones who will be leaving
primary school in a year’s time). The presentation lasted between 15 and 45
minutes, depending on pupils’ interest. We started the lesson with some
information about our project in general, we also showed them the project’s
website and blog, then we showed them the video we had made and at the end we
told them something about our school and answered their questions if there were
any. The teachers were really eager to know something more about our project; while
the feedback from pupils was different in every class - some of them had a lot
of questions and others just sat there silently.
Our opinion on the experience:
-We had a great time at our primary school, because we saw our
teachers and we also got a snack J. The presentation of the project was easy, especially because we
knew a lot of the pupils and teachers. This was a great and valuable experience
for us. Ana and Jona
-The project is an interesting topic, so it was fun presenting it.
Because we did not prepare any text in advance, we were a bit worried about
having the presentation and organizing it all, but soon realized it had all
been a waste of time - we were great at presenting it and really relaxed. The
teacher was thrilled at the end of our presentation, and so were some of the
students who asked us quite a lot of questions. Lea, Ela
and Julija
-The presentation of the project was quite easy, probably because we
were relaxed and not nervous at all. At the end of every presentation (we had 4
of them in 4 different classes) we also got a round of applause. It was nice to
go back to primary school and say hello to our teachers and try being in their
shoes. Ema, Tinkara, Jan and Rok
-We think the whole experience was a positive one and we are happy we
could gain some new experience in the field of teaching, because we had never
explained anything to people we had never seen before. It was also interesting to
see how different classes of students responded to our presentation. Janja and
Veronika C.
-We were a bit nervous from the start, especially in the first class
we presented our project; but after doing it successfully for the first time,
it was really easy and we did it with a lot of self confidence in the next two
classes. Ilija and Gal
At the beginning of July there was the end-of-the-year conference with all of the teachers at our school in Slovenia. Our project coordinator has prepared a report about our Erasmus+ project and had a 15-minute presentation. So now, all of her colleagues are informed about what is going on with the project and are looking forward to participating in the next activities. Here we are some of the photos from the conference.
Slovenian students presented our project Involve me & I learn in open day last February in the Gimnazija Vic, Ljubljana. About 1300 visitors, among parents and students could learn first-hand the activities of the project.
Thanks to our partner Mateja Legan for their great and tireless work.
