The First Meeting in Sweden
I know that I speak for everyone in the project when I say that we all very much looked forward to our first meeting.
We had so much to do and decide that when we finally met I forgot to let everyone introduce ourselves(!). Some of us had worked in previous EU projects and some of us were new acquaintances.
We came from five different schools in five European countries; Denmark, Finland, Greece, Spain and Sweden.
First task - reviewing our application, making decisions and dividing tasks.
An Erasmus application is more or less a book in which the project is described in great detail, including;
- What we want to do
- Why we want to do it
- How we should work to reach our aims
- How we will spread our results and how this will change education as we know it.
Great teachers are made - not born
Our project is not only for students but also for teachers. We will organise workshops where teachers learn to and from each other.
During the meeting in Mölndal we organized a workshop for teachers on the topic “Metacognitive methods”. During this workshop our visiting teachers met all local teachers in grade 8.
The next steps
The next step is to find students in every school to form project group who will work together with students from the other schools. Their first task is for students to write a presentation about themselves. After that preparations will be made for first meeting with students in Denmark that will take place between the 2nd to the 8th of February.
