Hello Brigita, I'm not in any team of swimmers, though I like swimming very much. This is just to give you the Minutes of our wonderful stay in Kosice.
Fernando
Grundtvig – December 2006 – Kosice 12-12-06 to 12-14-06
- MINUTES –
1 -Skype conference with senior students in January. As many students as possible.
Proposed dates: 25th January or 1st February.
Previously the teachers must have a conference rehearsal.
2 -Topics for the blog and the stories:
In the selection of the topics we must bear in mind that the final booklet should be a comparison of different people from different countries.
It will not be compulsory for the seniors to write about each topic. They are free to choose them, (we mustn’t press them!). We must discuss the topics with the students.
Suggested topics:
1. Animals in my life (Pets).
2. First love/Love story.
3. Travel.
4. Unforgettable moments (the best and the worst ones) and special people in my life.
5. Friends.
6. Schooldays.
7. Family/early childhood/home.
8. Drink and food.
9. Sports and hobbies.
10. My daily routine.
11.Traditions, customs and feasts.
It doesn’t matter if there are grammar mistakes in the seniors’ weblogs. The final booklet will be more precise and correct.
We must control the translation budget to keep money for the booklet as well.
3 -We shall work on these weblogs:
www.grundtvigeurope.blogspot.com
www.seniorstories-slovakia.blogspot.com
www.seniorstories-luxembourg.blogspot.com
www.seniorstories-ingenio.blogspot.com
www.seniorstories-santalucia.blogspot.com
www.seniorstories-portugal.blogspot.com
www.seniorstories-international.blogspot.com. This central blog is for general information. It will have links to all the partners’ blogs. Brigita suggests that only seniors’ nicknames appear on this blog. Their profiles will be on the national blogs.
We must write the texts in our national languages and then the English version (sometimes a short summary will be enough, mainly when feelings are not involved- e.g. travels).
We should send Erik photographs and logos of the schools, their web pages and maps of the areas where they are.
Luxembourg’s team will make the design of the weblog.
4 -Company presentations:
Portugal:
-In the group of seniors there are more men than women.
-They have been trained to use msn, e-mail. The course ends in January. They will create their own weblogs.
-The seniors have two lessons a week and Manuel meets them those days.
-Local and national Portuguese press appreciate the project. They have been mentioned on the radio and TV too.
Luxembourg:
-Since September there were five ladies who work all the skills: e-mails, writing skills, they use passwords, usernames; however they have different levels on IT.
-They have created their own weblogs.
-Diane Boggs’s book is being used. They have already written three stories.
-All the ladies have worked in several occupations before.
Spain-Fara:
-A creative writing trainer has been engaged to teach the seniors and the younger students involved in the project.
-They are having lessons on weblogs and computering.
Spain-Fernando:
-There are two groups of students: seniors, who write the stories, and younger students, who correct and post them on the blog.
-The seniors are in the primary level, almost illiterate in some cases. The younger ones are in secondary level.
Slovakia:
-The seniors are already writing their stories on the national blog.
-The school has fewer seniors for the project than the foreseen number.
