Our first project year

During the first year of our cooperation we have managed to form very strong bonds among project members both on professional and personal level. We have had four transnational meetings: one teacher training in Hungary and three short-term student exchanges: in Poland, Italy and Spain.

Our project officially started on 1 September 2019 and we have carried out a wide range of tasks since then we have:

• introduced our team members, schools, towns and countries
• designed the logo of our project
• created interactive quizzes about our cultural heritage and national festivals
• presented our nations’ symbols, legends and folk tales
• introduced some of our local and national literary figures
• shared traditions and recipes related to Christmas
• sung ’Silent Night’ together and have also presented some other festival songs of ours
• have published three project newsletters with articles related to Geography, History and Literature
• organised three live and two online debates
• created lots of teaching materials related to CLIL and the literary pieces we have shared with each other

Naturally, during the first year both students and teachers have made many new friends and we have learnt a lot about the culture of our partner countries. During the meetings we have visited places of great natural beauty and cultural interest and we have gained an insight into our partners’ everyday practices.

We can confidently say that we have a successful first year behind us and we are eagerly anticipating the second half of the project which will hold many challenging and inspirational tasks for us.

Some of the feedback given by students and teachers in connection with our project:

That was one of the best experiences I've ever done

It was great and it was the best week in my life. I met a lot of people.

An Erasmus exchange I will never forget.

Amazing.

This trip widened my horizons and helped me making new friends
