Bonitos recuerdos



Bonitos recuerdos

       El proyecto Comenius  me parecio muy interesante y para mi fue una experiencia inolvidable.
            Aunque no estuve involucrada en esto desde el principio, he tenido la oportunidad de estar cerca de los maestros y companeros del colegio, que organizaron la actividad durante una semana.
            Recuerdo con mucha alegria como empezo todo. Yo sabia que las delegaciones de extranjeros van a llegar el martes en nuestro colegio, y que entre ellos esta tambien gente de Espana. Estaba muy curiosa de verlos, de escucharlos hablar español, porque me encanta este idioma.
            Junto con mis companeros de clase, los recibimos en el laboratorio de matematicas. En un instante, escuche a alguien hablar español, y rapidamente senti una emocion. Parecia que mis oidos estaban consentidos al entender lo que platicaban los de Espana.
            Después de la vuelta por todo el edificio, nuestros invitados pudieron relajarse un poquito durante el recreo, y fue justo en ese momento cuando me presente y empeze a conocer los alumnos de Espana, pero tambien los maestros.
            Al principio hablamos sobre las diferencias que existen entre nuestro colegio y el colegio Valle de Aller. Les explique como estudiamos, y como elegimos las clases que queremos tomar, pero tambien les platique sobre la historia de nuestro colegio, precisamente sobre todos los cambios que sucedieron aquí.
            Les puedo decir que fueron muy impresionados de toda la información que recibieron durante toda la semana. La primera platica que tuvimos fue un poco dificil porque estaba como entre las nubes: muy feliz porque podia mejorar y ejercer mi español, pero al mismo tiempo emocionada y con deseos de quedar bien delante de ellos. Al ver que el dialogo va muy bien, la conversación continuo y los pequenos errores fueron corregidos con la ayuda de mis nuevos amigos.
            Durante la tarde, los acompane en la actividad que se derulo en la Fortaleza de Fagaras. Alla hemos podido hablar mas y conocer mas sobre ellos: que les gusta hacer y cuales son sus planes para el futuro.
            Cuando la actividad termino, fuimos a comer y tuvimos una noche agradable, fue como la despedida porque yo no iba a estar mas con ellos en los dias siguientes. Hemos cambiado los numeros de telefono y las cuentas de Twitter y Facebook.
            El viernes nos encontramos nuevamente en Brasov, porque yo he tenido un asunto por resolver. Yo ya sabia que ellos estan de visita en el centro historico de la ciudad, y cuando me encontre con los chavas: Maria y Olaya, les regale algo para que se acuerden de mi. Fue un gusto para mi verlas sorprendidas y felices porque fui tan detallista.
            En la noche hablamos en el Whatsapp y Maria me conto que no quiere irse porque le gusto mucho todo lo que vio en Rumania.
            Después de que regresaron a Espana, he continuado hablar en el Whatsapp con Maria y tambien con los chavos, y con Olaya en Twitter. Fui muy contenta cuando me dijieron que hablo muy bien español. Es mas, dijieron que hablo mejor que algunos espanoles. ☺ Los maestros tambien fueron sorprendidos porque he logrado  platicar con ellos sin ningun problema, aunque no he tomado ningun curso de idioma español.
            Ojala nos vamos a encontrar de nuevo…algun dia.

 

Amintiri frumoase


Proiectul Comenius mi s-a parut foarte interesant si pentru mine a fost o experienta de neuitat.
Chiar daca nu am fost implicata in acest proiect de la inceput, am avut ocazia sa fiu in preajma profesorilor si a colegilor din liceu care au organizat activitatea timp de o saptamana.
Imi amintesc cu bucurie cum a inceput totul. Stiam ca marti vor sosi delegatiile straine la noi in liceu si ca printre ele se afla si delegatia spaniola. Eram foarte curioasa sa-i cunosc, sa-i aud vorbind spaniola, pentru ca imi place nespus aceasta limba straina.
Impreuna cu colegii mei de clasa, i-ai primit pe toti in laboratorul de matematica. La un moment dat, am auzit pe cineva vorbind in spaniola si imediat am simtit o emotie profunda. Parea ca auzul meu era pornit sa inteleaga ceea ce povesteau cei din Spania.
Dupa turul liceului, invitatii nostri au putut sa se destinda putin in timpul pauzelor, si a fost chiar atunci cand m-am prezentat si am inceput sa ii cunosc pe elevii spanioli, precum si pe dascalii lor.
La inceput am vorbit despre diferentele dintre scolile noastre. Le-am explicat si eu care e sistemul de invatamant in Romania si cum este structurat, insa de asemenea le-am vorbit despre istoria CNRN, mai precis despre schimbarile care au avut loc aici.
Pot sa va spun ca au fost foarte impresionati de toate informatiile pe care le-au primit timp de o saptamana. Prima conversatie pe care am avut-o a fost putin greoaie, deoarece eram in al noualea cer: foarte fericita pentru ca puteam sa imi imbunatatesc si sa-mi exersez spaniola, dar in acelasi timp emotionata si avand dorinta de a face o impresie buna in fata lor. Vazand ca dialogul merge bine, conversatia a continuat si micile greseli au fost corectate cu ajutorul noilor mei prieteni.
Dupa-amiaza, i-am insotit la Cetate, unde au desfasurat o activitate. Acolo am putut povesti mai mult si am cunoscut mai multe despre ei: ce le place sa faca, si ce planuri au pentru viitor.
Dupa ce activitatea s-a terminat, am servit cina si am petrecut o seara frumoasa impreuna, fiind un fel de ramas bun, pentru ca nu urma sa ii insotesc si in zilele urmatoare. Am facut schimb de numerele de telefon, conturile de Twitter si Facebook.
Vineri ne-am intalnit din nou, insa de aceasta data in Brasov pentru ca eu avusesem ceva de rezolvat. Stiam ca ei viziteaza centrul istoric al Brasovului, si cand m-am intalnit cu fetele: Maria si Olaya, le-am facut un mic cadou pentru a-si aminti de mine. A fost o placere pentru mine sa le vad surprinse si fericite pentru faptul ca am fost atenta cu ele.
Seara am vorbit pe Whatsupp cu Maria si mi-a spus ca nu vrea sa plece din Romania, pentru ca i-a placut tot ce a vazut in Romania.
Dupa ce s-au intors in Spania, am continuat sa vorbesc cu Maria si cu baietii pe Whatsapp, iar cu Olaya pe Twitter. Am fost foarte fericita cand mi-au spus ca vorbesc foarte bine spaniola. Mai mult decat atat, mi-au spus ca ma descurc mai bine decat anumiti spanioli.
Profesorii au fost de asemenea surprinsi pentru ca am reusit sa vorbesc cu ei fara nici o problema, in ciuda faptului ca nu am participat la niciun curs de spaniola.
Poate ne vor reintalni....intr-o buna zi.

"Ninguno de los coordinadores encontró ninguna dificultad en la organización de la visita a Rumania, ni en la preparación de las actividades que se iban a llevar a cabo en el Colegio National Radu Negru (representaciones, presentaciones en power point), ni en la selección de alos alumnos para la movilidad. Todos agradecimos a nuestra coordinadora rumana, Jenny Bica, por el esfuerzo en organizar la visita y nuestro atractivo programa de visitas para conocer el pasado y entender el 
 presente."

KPUP COMENIUS PROJECT ELECTIVE COURSE, XI B, CNRN





KPUP Comenius Project Elective Course

In the context of the Comenius multilateral project entitled “Knowing the Past to Understand the Present”(2012-2014),  funded by the European Union, through the Comenius Programme for school education, Lifelong Learning Programme, an elective course that targets 16-18 year old teenagers (GRADE: XI B, CNRN), has felt as a must for students who need more materials and organized team work to reflect on the topics of this European project (similarities and differences in history, in culture, identity, diversity in a global world etc).

Some parents have also required it, on condition it is designed as an English course where their children can feel free to create, work and learn. The products of our activities will be PPt presentations, speeches, stories, articles, essays, posters, images, drawings, short films, paintings, plays, songs, murals or other forms of ideas that will represent their national identity, their personal feelings and personal thoughts related to the nowadays cultural diversity much proclaimed all over Europe.

All the activities of this course reflect the objectives of the Comenius Project KPUP that is currently taking place in our school. The course is supposed to be cross-curricular and inter-curricular, more teachers of different subjects offering to be of help, when invited, coming over with materials, lesson plans and pedagogical and didactic materials.




Proiect optional KPUP

În cadrul proiectului multilateral Comenius intitulat "Să cunoaștem trecutul pentru a înțelege prezentul", început în instituția noastră, în august 2012, un curs opțional, adresat tinerilor de 16-18 de ani, reprezintă o necesitate, pentru că aceștia au nevoie de mai multe materiale și de munca în echipă pentru a înțelege temele și subiectele proiectului european (asemănări și deosebiri în istorie, în cultură, identitate si diversitate într-o lume globală, etc).

Unii părinți au solicitat un astfel de optional, exprimându-şi dorinta ca el sa fie conceput ca un curs de limba engleză unde copiii lor se poată simți liberi pentru a crea prezentări PPT, discursuri, povestiri, articole, eseuri, postere, imagini, desene, filme de scurt metraj sau picturi, piese de teatru, cântece, picturi murale și alte forme de idei, care pot arăta identitatea lor națională, sentimentele lor personale și gânduri personale legate de diversitatea culturală proclamată azi peste tot în Europa.

Prin urmare, activitățile pe care le inițiază acest curs vor reflecta obiectivele KPUP ale proiectului care are loc în prezent în școala noastră, abordând teme trans-curriculare și inter-curriculare, mai multe cadre didactice de la diferite discipline, oferindu-se, când vor fi invitate, cu idei, propuneri, materiale, planuri de lecție și materiale pedagogice și didactice, să completeze modul de desfășurare a acestor activităţi.

These are the conclusions and agreements according to each meeting:
I.        COMENIUS MEETING
1.       All the associated partners agree that our Comenius project: “Knowing the past to understand the present” is fully integrated in the curriculum of our schools and educational system curriculum.
2.       We revised all the programmed activities in the application form and we agree with all of them. However, we also agree that every school can add more activities concerning the project according the necessities of their school.
3.       Apart from the delay of the initial meeting, due to the best possibilities for all schools implied, we all agree in the original calendar of activities and mobility. It was proposed the date of visit and mobility of students for Turkey and Sweden Comenius meeting, according to the following calendar:
-          TURKEY: From 18th to 24th MARCH
-          SWEDEN: From 27th May to 2nd June
4.       Respecting communications, we all agree in the following aspects.
·         The official communication about the project will be by e-mail through the coordinators of the project.
·          Apart from that, it will be created a gmail group among the participant teachers. The Turkish partner will be in charge of it.
·         It will also be created a facebook group. The Turkish partner will be in charge of it.
·         We will also create an e-mail addresses data among our students to communicate among them.
·         We will also use video conference as a way of communication after our students have met in the second Comenius meeting.

II.      COMENIUS MEETING
With regards student mobility, we all agreed each partner school will carry out the mobility to each associated country with 4 students and 2 teachers, according the money we have been assigned in the project.
        However, it was discussed the possibility to increase the number of students in the mobility in the case they could be lodged in a family house. This, obviously, would reduce expenses in every student and would make possible to extend the number of students. In the case of Romania and Spain, it is possible to find families to lodge the students. In the case of Turkey, the school needs some time to consider the idea. The Swedish partner considered it was quite difficult the lodging in families due to the different conditions of their students (many students to lodge and families houses are usually small flats).
        On the other hand, we all agreed that our intermediate Comenius report will be elaborated in our meeting in Sweden, in May.
        We all agreed of the diffusion of the project, according to the guide lines reflected in the application form.
        The Spanish partner introduced the LOGO of the Comenius project: “Knowing the past to understand the present”. It was elaborated by the IES Valle de Aller teacher from the Arts Department, Mrs. Marta Rodriguez. After the presentation and the explanations about the elaborations of it, all the associated schools accepted it as the logo of the project.
        In this session, it was also created the blog of the Comenius project. It was decided the name of the blog: KPUP (Knowing the past to understand the present).
IES Valle de Aller will be in charge of this official blog of the project, and all the activities, reports, and materials will be reflected on it, from all the partner schools. We agreed that official language will be English, but we also contribute to the blog in our own languages, promoting the idea of understanding our customs and traditions. The Swedish partner, due to the special circumstances of the students (most of the immigrant) will only write their report in English.
        The creation of an official project blog (where all the information will be included) doesn´t mean that each school could create their own blogs in their schools.

III.    COMENIUS MEETING
The four Comenius associated school introduced their countries and schools to the educative community of IES Valle de Aller. In the case of students it was focused in students aged: from 14 to 16 years old.
IV.    COMENIUS MEETING
We all agree in the design of activities of students before the next mobility. We are all going to work in a general vision of each country History, but them we are to focus our attention in the History of the country we are going to visit each time. In this case Turkey. The teachers of each visiting countries are going to give us a guideline of the most important things to learn about their History to be used in our lessons of History with our students participating in the project.
At the same time, the students of every partner school will also work on a specific topic or theme about their History to present it in the guest country partner school.
In general, all the partner schools prefer to have a general vision of History of the whole country, with no distinctions among different areas or regions. In the case of Spain, the school would prefer to focus just on the region of Asturias, but they will try to adapt, apart from Asturias, to a general vision of Spanish History.
The activities that will be designed to prepare the visit are: Project songs, Language teams, History lessons, Debates discussion on History, Prepare common rules on debates, Common phrase dictionary of all common languages, Student blogs.
It is also agreed to develop a Project Guide in which all the activities we make are reflected. The official blog is a good tool to do that.
Romania partners express their wish to move the mobility to their school to October 2013, instead of November. That was accepted by all the associated partners.
It was also considered as an important point in the project to reflect the differences between past and present in each associated country, focus on comparison of all possible historical elements, including social aspects.
Finally, we are agreed in the criteria to choose students for the mobility to each associated school:
- Level of English
- Work on History
- Motivation on the project
The average of age of the candidates will vary between 15 to 17 years old. The Sweden partner school could increase the age until 18, depending of the special circumstances of some students.
It was given a certificate for all participants in the meeting according to the meeting calendar.
It was also made an evaluation of this initial meeting in Spain from the part of the participants

KPUP, 2nd Comenius Meeting in SAMANDIRA TEKNIK VE ENDÜSTRI MESLEK LISESI, Istanbul, Turkey 18th – 24th March, 2013



The Romanian Team of Nine Students and Three Teachers in Istanbul, Turkey, 2nd Comenius Meeting 18th – 24th March, 2013

Our project “Knowing the Past to Understand the Present” (2012-2104), is funded by the European Union, through the Comenius Programme for school education, Lifelong Learning Programme.

Main Aims of the Istanbul Meeting:

1. To explore the development of the teaching of History
2. To explore how History is, at once, different and shared by the associated schools /countries and how history affects cultural outlook and cultural identity
3. To discover how different cultural heritage can enhance the learning of history
4. To look at the way History can teach pupils (aged: 14 to 18) about understanding the modern world and how this can influence the future
5. To boost and to encourage communication in English.
6. To encourage the feeling of European citizenship, promoting tolerance, and respect to other cultures and countries.
7. To promote the development of contents using ICT (Information and Communication Technology)

Our meeting in Istanbul had a communicative purpose, seeking to understand how people from different countries and cultures act, communicate and perceive the world around them. Our Istanbul activities included:

n      Visit of school and learning about the educational system.
n      Exhibition of drawings, paintings, stories, poems, role plays, life style compositions from the different schools partners.
n      Organization of workshops on historical discoveries, social and cultural issues
n      Students speeches on their own discoveries about History and distinction of national/regional, cultural affinities and differences of participating schools.
n      Intermediate evaluation of the development of the project.
n       Elaboration of a power point of the visit.

All the partners in this Comenius project, from Sweden, Lithuania, Spain, Turkey and Romania, adopted a historical, cultural and social approach in presenting their countries, region and school. The students prepared speeches, presentations, songs and plays reflecting traditions, customs, national identity and specific national features. Lithuania and Romania also came with a comparison between past and present events in the history of the Turkish - Lithuanian and respectively Turkish – Romanian relations.

All participating schools took part in the mobility with enthusiasm and showed competence in their research in the field of their own history and culture as well as in the history of the other countries represented in the partnership, an indicator that historical relevance, cultural heritage, and present solutions have been the core of their study.

The nine Romanian students accommodated in host families enjoyed the Turkish homes and became good friends with the Turkish students and teachers, feeling sorry to leave when the time came for departure. The Romanian teachers were also pleased with the accommodation in the hotel where they received very good treatment.

Both students and teachers from Romania enjoyed very much the company of their partners from Sweden, Turkey, Lithuania and Spain. The programme of the school activities and of the visits was efficient; the meetings were interesting and useful.  

The fruits of our cooperation are the joy of befriending new people and the new learned things that will help us to see our own culture with critical eyes.

Our Istanbul stay included visits to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Seraglio, and the Grand Bazaar. The mosques, the palaces, the museums, the trips, the Bosporus tours etc were all full of delight and joy. We were enchanted to learn about so many cultural things in Turkey.

The Turkish people are very hospitable and friendly. We really had a very good time and I think all our partners felt excellent during our activities and visits.

Our conclusion is that we learned a lot about the Turkish culture and traditions through direct experience and observation but also through an exchange of opinions and reflections on different social, cultural and historical aspects. Through the discussion and the exchange of our Istanbul experiences among the students and the teachers from the five different schools and other people related to education in the idea of promoting cultural awareness, we consider that we achieved the aims of the Istanbul meeting.

Evenimentul, la care au fost invitati sa participe Primarul orasului nostru, domnul Sorin Manduc, autoritati locale, directorii institutiei, domnul Ion Bogdan si domnul Remus Mogos, precum si un numar impresionat de cadre didactice, a fost filmat in data de 4 martie, 2013, de catre cele doua televiziuni fagarasene.
            In perioada 18-24 martie, 2013 au avut loc in Istanbul, Turcia, SAMANDIRA TEKNIK VE ENDÜSTRI MESLEK LISESI, urmatoarele tipuri de activitati:
- organizarea de ateliere de lucru pe teme istorice
- prezentarile elevilor pe teme referitoare la afinitati si deosebiri culturale ale tarilor reprezetate in proiect
- lectii de limba natala a partenerilor predate elevilor turci
- evaluare intermediara a proiectului
- elaborarea unei prezentari Powerpoint a intalnirii
- vizite culturale care au inclus atractiile cele mai importante ale orasului Istanbul:     
Hagia Sophia, Moscheea Albastra (Sultanahmet Camii), Topkapi Seraglio, Grand Bazaar, Kadikoy Centre, Biserica Cisterna (Yerebatan Sarayi), muzee, parcuri, calatorie cu vaporul pe Stramtoarea Bosfor.
             
         Oras aflat la confluenta mai multor culturi, Istanbul, sau Constantinopol - fosta cetate crestina, capitala a Imperiului Bizantin, si-a lasat amprenta asupra istoriei universale. O serie intreaga de obiective turistice si monumente istorice au putut fi admirate de cei treizeci si unu de elevi si profesori din Suedia, Romania, Spania si Lituania, in calitate de participanti activi la acest parteneriat, prezenti la Istanbul in timpul celor cateva zile ale reuniunii, insotiti permanent de amabilele si placutele noastre gazde turce.
   
Delegatia romana a fost cea mai numeroasa, cei noua elevi romani fiind cazati in familii gazda. Elevii nostri s-au bucurat cel mai mult de atentia si ospitalitatea prietenilor turci, descoperind prin observatie directa si trairi profunde atat lucruri si obiceiuri comune cu acestia cat si elemente de traditie si civilizatie foarte diferite.
   
Concluzia noastra asupra reuniunii din Turcia este una pozitiva, anume ca Istanbul este un oras ce merita explorat si descoperit in toata splendoarea lui, care invata ca descoperirea respectului pentru ceea ce este diferit este esentiala in intelegerea altei culturi si civilizatii si care ne permite o analiza mai buna a propriei culturi. De aici si dimensiunea europeana a educatiei spre care tindem.
