Protocol of the workshops - First meeting

 

Protocol of the Workshops

Chairman: Guenter Peifer

  1. Presenting the websiteeu by Webmaster Gunter Peifer, Eichenlaubschule Germany
    1. Menu structure of the website
    2. Partners are invited to send texts, press reports and pictures to the webmaster
    3. Pictures only accepted in reduced resolution (800x600 px to 1024x768 px)
  2. Choosing an overall logo
    1. Discussion about what characteristics the logo should have
      1. Simple to reproduce
      2. Context of the project clear to explain and recognizable
  • Every school can choose a special logo for their learning station or fill in the letters of the common logo with own ideas (national flags, symbols of renewable sources of energy, …)
  1. Suggestion   eufures logo
    1. The shape with increasing heights of the letters symbolize the aim of the learning circle to increase the knowledge of the students
    2. The name of the green color is pantone 360c. This color should be used in all print products
  2. All partners agree!
  1. Inner organization of the stations
    1. Every station can be structured as a learning circle itself with no special order for working on the tasks or as learning ladder with working in a prescribed order
    2. An intro to the stations can be useful
    3. Materials have to be copyright free. All rights are on the school’s side.
    4. Videos cannot be directly uploaded to the projects website. They have to be uploaded on YouTube. The links to the YouTube videos can be put on the website. The webmaster will not be responsible for the content of the videos.
  2. Target group
    1. Students of 12 (+/- 1) years
    2. We should not overload the station with aspects that are not compatible with the age of the students
    3. During the project work there can be lots of activities to create material for the stations. Older students can be involved but always with the target group of the stations in their mind while producing tasks, worksheets, …
    4. The stations must be applicable in all schools over Europe
  3. Time frame
    1. 2 blocks of 2 lessons
    2. Homework between the two blocks possible
  4. Project journal
    1. Because of holidays, periods of exams and other time-packed phases in the normal school life it makes no sense to give a monthly report on project work. Periods of two months are better to realize. The German partner school prepares an adapted word document regarding the problems addressed.
    2. Guenter Peifer will distribute the adapted journal template as soon as possible. He draws attention to the importance of writing the report of the project work continuously and on time and as soon as possible using the provided journal template and not destroying the structure of the template. A crashed structure can be easily rebuilt by using the back button of MS-word. That will be helpful for the intermediate and final project report. Every school is responsible for their own.
  5. Mobility tool
    1. While sending documents to the webmaster of eufures.eu it will be easy to describe the project work. Links to the projects website can be used.
    2. A continuous work with the tool is strongly recommended.
  6. Planning the next meeting
    1. The next meeting will take place in Greece.
    2. It will take more than 3 days because two schools from Greece are involved in the project.
      1. After a long discussion regarding the holidays and taking account of the organizational matters of all partner schools the following dates for the meeting will be from 3 to 7 April 2017. Presence of all partners is required on these days, arrival and departure days excluded!
    3. Dissemination
      1. It is a must to inform the school community and the public about the project work through press reports, flyers, bookmarks or other printed products and during conferences and school and public events.
    4. The national agencies should be informed of structural changes of the project (changing the order of the project meetings …). Project funding by the EU must always be mentioned.
    5. Unfortunately, the EU did not provide funding for student mobility. Therefore, it is particularly important to involve students in the video conferences.
