Mobilities and Meetings

Kőbánya Harmat Junior High School hosted the teachers and students of the 5 partner schools implementing the Erasmus + Citizen 3.0 project as the venue of the 5th International Project Meeting, December 2-8, 2018 in Budapest.

Students made short films and questionnaires about the dangers of the Internet, which were shared during the meeting. On a workshop they had the opportunity to learn the basics of programming and how to use a 3D printer. They could practice film making and editing. At the Lego Education Training Center, both foreign and Hungarian students could design online games, programmed Lego robots, and tested their functionality. Students had rich cultural programs. They visited Buda Castle District, the Hungarian Parliament, Heroes Square, City Park, and the Basilica. Foreign students were warmly welcomed by school students and their families.

The main purpose of the meeting was to evaluate the progress of the project so far and to prepare the current school year's activities and mobilities, arranging organizational aspects, responsible teachers and deadlines.

The agenda of the different meetings we held covered the following issues: To evaluate the previous school-year activities, the progress of the project, to analyse if the roles/responsibilities had been undertaken as arranged in the application form and discussed in

the first transnational meeting in Spain. To prepare 2018/19 school year activities, arranging the organizational aspects such as age group, topics, activity responsibles, submission deadlines, etc. A separate meeting was held in order to organize the second part of the Digital Literacy Curriculum for Secondary Education as we needed to brainstorm topics, and assign them to the different countries. To prepare next calendar of mobilities and the final transnational meeting in Brussels, seat of the European Union, where we will present the Curriculum developed during the two years of the project.

As a result we got all these aspects organized as the main outcome of the transnational meeting which was inserted in a complete programme of academic, cultural and leisure activities organised by the host country.

According to the International Project “Citizen 3.0”, the second exchange of students was held in Riga from March 18 th to March 24 th , 2018.
