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.

Back to Elexalde

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.

How has the week been? Busy preparing the presentation of the project to I.E.S Elexalde for School staff and School board.

We have prepared a powerpoint explaining the reason of the project, the objectives, participants, partners'city and school, eTwinning School staff training, project development, the schedule and dissemination by town hall.

I will uplod them in eTwinning to be consulted by anyone interested.

Fifth day short-term joint staff training event

Our last day of training. We are sad we have to leave Katerini school and say goodbye to our hosts, all the school teachers who have warmly welcomed us. The headmaster has thanked us for all and we have also thanked him for his good reception.


We have organised the logo competition and decided the logo which will represent both schools. The logo which has been chosen has been Elexalde logo.


Then in the afternoon a quick visit to Thessaloniki, the capital of Macedonia region where Alejandro the Great and the great teacher Aristóteles wandered along their streets.


Our students will love it when they visit it, full of culture and visited by different villages.

We will say see you later to Katerini and Greece because our next visit will be next year when we  visit it with our students.
