Fw: 5th Panhellenic E-twinning Conference in Ioannina Greece




       Members of the Greek pedagogical team attended the 5th Panhellenic E-twinning Conference, held in Ioannina city on 23-25 November 2018. 
       The Conference opened with the enlightening talks of two representatives of the Greek State Scholarship Foundation (IKY), which is the National Agency for Erasmus+ projects. 
       We attended many interesting E-twinning projects and got inspired from them. It has been a very fruitful weekend that gave us ideas that will help us in the progress of our project.  


Our project in the media

Our project appears in the mediasome local newspapers and radios are interested in it. This is only the beginning, because next Tuesday we will be interviewed in “Bizkaia Irratia” at 12:05 after the news. Don’t miss it!

Traditional Greek games!

This week we started practising the traditional Greek sports and games we will present to our Spanish partners. We had loads of fun playing three traditional greek playground games: "Mila", "Tzami" and "Mantili". We remembered those games played by kids in the streets and yards many many years ago and we realised how fun they can still be. You can see how much we enjoyed this activity in the photos that follow.



The Greek students and their expectations

The Greek students wrote down the expectation they have from the project.

READY FOR THE PRESS

We have prepared the presentation of our project for Galdakao town hall.
The presentation has been an approach to the project. We have started describing the project, the objectives, the contents, development and the different mobilities of it.
A complete description of it can be read in the eTwinning platform in the section journal diary.
We have also added the comments of both students from Katerini School (Greece) and Elexalde school. Here you can read what they have said:

The main reason why I have joined this programme is because I find it very intriguing as well as a great way not only to meet new people , cultures and countries but also to make me understand how special my country is and why I should respect it"
Chrysa  14 years old Katerini School ( Greece  )

"I am very happy about participating in this project. I hope it will be a new and interesting experience and I am willing to live adventures and improve my English.
I am also looking forward to making new friends and learning about a new culture, the Greek one"
Mai 14 years old I.E.S Elexalde School (Basque Country)

We expect we could have a great impact of dissemination in press so that our project could be followed by the largest possible number of people, here in our village and outside it.
                        


Presentation of the project to School Staff and School Board

Presentation of the project "Discover and share your identity mark" to School Staff and School Board. We have shared a PowerPoint with all of them. An approach to the project. What the project is about. The reason of presenting it is as it is and to pay homage to it what better than a project about it?

We have also explained to them the objectives of it and an introduction of our partners: Katerini School, Katerini town and above all, the students who participate in it. We have encouraged them to visit and work together in our blog eTwinning and Instagram.

We have made them participants in our short-term joint staff training event and animate them to take part in the second -term joint staff meeting when Katerini teachers visit us.

We have looked through the project schedule and the tasks designed by the Pedagogical team.
Students exchange has also been discussed and to finish, the project dissemination by Galdakao town hall.

How has our back to IES Elexalde been after our first short-term staff event?
Well, quite productive and unforgetable.
We have set up agreements with Katerini school teachers and we have examined the project, assessment and tasks in detail, assigning responsabilities.

The training about eTwinning and flipped classroom was very interesting to be incorporated to the project.

And let's not forget the warm welcome from Katerini school, Staff board and students. We are looking forward to welcome them, arms wide open.
