Activities

Reading promotion posters

During the third school year of our project, students designed posters to promote reading habits. Here is a selection of them, these have been printed and are decoring now common spaces in our five schools.

Teachers' Newsletters

Reading, as we all now, it's one of the most important skills in the development of children. As teachers we all promote reading even if we are not their literature teachers. We all need to be aware of our model role for them. In our teachers' newsletters teachers from our schools write about reading and how to promote at our schools. Have a look at Issue 3 (from Lithuania) and Issue 4 (from Belgium)

Book Recommenders

It has been said many times that reading is fun. Well, it truly is. It sets our imagination free. It lets us escape from reality. It is a wonderful adventure ready to be undertaken by anyone, anywhere, and at any time. Perhaps every one of us has his or her favourite book. Our students certainly do. Enjoy reading through students’ recommendations. You never know. One of them might be an invitation to your next voyage...

Literature and Culture videos

This activity has suffered a little modification due to the pandemic. At the beginning we were going to have just videoconferences class-to-class but then when some of the schools came back from the lockdown, we decided to give it a twist, leave videoconferences for a moment when all schools where in the same situation and convert our activity into Literature and Culture videos. However some videoconferences have been held and during next school year we will still have some of them.

In the following videos you can see the students' work analysing their local or national Literature. Have a look at some samples:

The Book Snake

The Book Snake was one of our chore activities to be done during the third term of our first year, however pandemic came to change or initial plans. We finally held this activity on the third term of our second year but with some modifications, as there are still schools which have not gone back to in-person teaching. The idea was to create a big snake created by book-reviews created by the students. Each country adapted their own version of the activity to respect the requirements, but final products haven shown to be equally good! Here is a selection of some activities:

Writing short stories

One of the activities during the mobility to Slovakia was the writing of short stories. We wanted to give the activity a competition senses, so that during the mobility, and after participating in a creative writing workshop students gathered in groups to write their stories. This attachment shows a scanned copy of their final products and the votations by the "international" jury (made by the teachers attending the mobility).

Video conferences

Video conferences are a nice way to get students know other students from other places. For them it's very exciting, especially when they are going to meet soon in next mobilities. This is the reason why we started holding video conferences. It's a good excuse to start knowing each other. With the topic of Literature as the main thread, we celebrated some videoconferences matching countries in two by two. We will regularly organize these encounters especially before mobilities.
