• 23rd to 28th March: Second Comenius meeting in Rzeszów / Poland
• Evaluation of the meeting, working on the internet platform (eco-dictionary)
• May: Preparation of the CARE-day
• 20th May: CARE-day : a school event with many activities and presentations concerning education on environmental issues, with all the students involved who have presented the results of their studies and their outcomes to the rest of the school and to some representatives of the local authorities.
The students have planned and organized most of their activities autonomously.
Creativity and innovations have been promoted by the active involvement of students in planning and translating their tasks, finding solutions and creating products: questionnaires, photo shows, maps and drawings, power point presentations, brochures and leaflets, web-sites and videos. They have collected and exchanged knowledge and materials in the files of the common website, discussed problems and analyzed results in the forum of this website and suggested possible solutions to save energy in public media. Common actions were undertaken during the meetings of the partner schools, for example the Care Day on the same date. In the two visits (in Spain and Portugal) we have included the maximum number of pupils and teachers that could be possible and carried out different project activities together, including creative environmental workshops.
2.2. What problems/obstacles, have you met in the implementation of the Partnership, if any? How have these problems been solved?
Initially the difficulties were confined to the actual tasks of the teachers of the Comenius team because some of them had no clear ideas about how the project had to be carried out in curricular terms. But little by little, and particularly after the first meeting in Spain, things went better and better till the full satisfaction of members and participants. Now the project is a part of our school identity.
