Coordinators' meetings
9th Coordinators' Meeting, 18th September 2021
It was nice to meet again after the summer holidays. It is time for the new school year and new project activities. The timetable of activities for September and October was discussed, as well as the possible dates for our on-site meetings. Hopefully, the situation with the pandemic will be better this year!
10th Coordinators' Meeting, 19th October 2021
Today, the coordinators discussed the plan to mark 16th November 2021, the International Day for Tolerance. As social inclusion is very important in our project, the activity called Tolerance Storytelling is to take place in November. We are going to tell stories with the theme of tolerance to people in care homes, schools for children with special educational needs and other groups of people with fewer opportunities. Regarding the circumstances of the pandemic, we are going to use the benefits of technology to meet these people.
11th Coordinators' Meeting, 17th November 2021
This week the coordinators have met at their 11th virtual meeting since the beginning of the Erasmus+ project, 3rd meeting this school year. The plan of Christmas activities was discussed, as well as preparations for our on-site meetings. Although we still have to bear in mind the situation with COVID-19 pandemic, we are happy that, for the time being, our classes are on-site at all partner schools. Most of all, we are proud of the fact that our eTwinning project ˝Stories Bring Us Closer 2020/21˝ has been awarded four European Quality Labels, which proves the success of the first year of our work.
12th Coordinators' Meeting, 21st December 2021
The coordinators met online for the last time this year.
We are sorry that it was mostly not possible to organise the meetings we planned with care homes and schools for SEN pupils on-site. The meetings were held online, but still, it was a lovely experience and helped us achieve the aims of our project: develop students' competence in applying knowledge into practice in literacy education, increase the self-esteem of students with fewer opportunities and strengthen students' empathy towards different age and social groups.
Christmas is very close, as well as the end of our Christmas activities. Christmas cards have been exchanged and there have been many storytelling events: parents, grandparents and other members of our pupils' families have been invited to visit schools, or join virtually, to read or tell Christmas stories. The activity has been very motivating and all the participants enjoyed it very much.
Our pupils are preparing their motivational letters for LTTA meetings and hope that next year we will meet in person.
Merry Christmas!
13th Coordinators' Meeting, 22nd January 2022
Today, the coordinators have met for the first time this year. The timetable of activities for the second term has been discussed: we are planning to organise storytelling meetings with kindergarten children and write stories with elements of maths. Hopefully it will be possible to start with meetings in person soon, instead of online meetings.
