Our coordinator, Carmen Torres, has been invited to this conference as one of the teachers that has founded an eTwinning project as the one we have with our Erasmus+. Some other teachers from different countries have shown their interest in participating in our project, that's why we have the intention of keeping our eTwinning project open to allow further collaborations.
It has been a very interesting conference and an opportunity to meet other teachers with similar interests. 250 teachers from 30 countries have participated in the event and only 10 teachers per country have been selected. we are very proud of that participation. Read more
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.
Last night, on the 12th May, I had a presentation of our project to parents. It consisted of 3 parts. First I showed a resume of the project with some of our results, then Vicky the mother who was with us in Cartagena shared with the rest of our parents her experience-a really great speach- and last students who had participated in the mobilities have shown their own experience with some presentations.
Last Wednesday we had a meeting for the parents whose children might be coming to our school next year. There were several hundreds of them. We presented our school and also our international program. I talked to the parents about ie. Involve me & I learn.
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.
The day of our project began with a presentation by our leader Carmen Torres to the municipal authorities of the city and to the representatives of the parents of students. Later, high school students carried out various activities to diseminate the project Involve me & I Learn to students in basic courses of the school.
On 27th November 2015 our article about Involve Me and I Learn Day, the project and our visit to Iceland was published on the Slovenian portal SLOMEDIA.IT; the same article was published by Primorski dnevnik, the only Slovenian daily in Italy, on 10th January 2016.
Our Involve Me & I Learn Day was a great day at Prešeren.
Boris, Alja and Barbara with a "little help of their friends" have arranged a very lively multimedia exhibition in the entrance hall, so that everybody in the school can visit it individually or in class groups. You are kindly invited to see it.
All the students had the opportunity to watch presentations special made for this day, the videos that we made last year and they had made the maps of 6 countries in big panels, that will decorate the walls.
