Monday 18 April 2011

Daniele from Italy

Hello everyone,

My name is Daniele and I’ m 18 years old.

I was born in Rome in January 1993, but I grew up in Germany and then when I was twelve years old I came to stay definitely in

Italy

Now I live, with my mother and my two cats, in Foligno in a flat with many rooms (6 exactly).

I haven’t got any brothers or sisters.

My mother is German; so I always talk with her in GermanAnd now I’ll tell you something about my school here in Foligno: its name is Istituto d’Istruzione Superiore Orfini, it is a Vocational school with a lot of different courses: graphic and advertisement, chemistry, mechanics, fashion and design, and electronics. I’m in the second class of electronics

I have a passion for video games; I also like to record videos and publish them on YouTube; I also like singing, I’m very good in reproducing sounds, someone calls me the Noise-Maker!!!!!

I think Comenius project is wonderful, because we can improve our English, we can meet new friends and learn new things about European culture

This Blog

The project Blog contains everything related to the Comenius project “Let’s Travel!”: summary, objectives, activities, mobilities, project meetings, results, evaluation… It is a visual and dynamic online platform which illustrates and disseminates the project development through regular updating: writings, introductions, descriptions of places, pictures and videos on Tourism as a topic. All outcomes on the Blog are the results of students’ and teachers’ common team work at the seven partner schools.

The Garden in Portugal

Although uncompleted, coordinators from the seven partner schools decided to maintain the Garden in Portugal as one of the most emotive outcomes of our project. Seeds of plants from the local flora in each country were sent to the school in Portugal. Students of Tourism and Gardening from Ferreira do Zêzêre collected and let them germinate. They created a greenhouse, which was unfortunately seriously damaged by a destructive tornado at the beginning of 2011. A big part of the garden got lost.

Evaluation Questionnaires and Power Point Presentation

Three model questionnaires for mobilities were made, separately for guests (teachers and students) and hosts (students). Teachers and students who took part in mobility filled these questionnaires after each meeting and conclusions were compiled by Polish teachers to make our work better and more efficient. The most important conclusions from questionnaires were summed in the Power Point presentation which was presented during the last mobility in Spain, were all coordinators from partner schools were present.

7 Different Kinds of Tourism in 7 Different Countries

The seven partner schools of the Project “Let’s Travel!” did of Tourism a topic to investigate and analyse. They found out the characteristics, the means of transport, the baggage, the accommodation, the duration and the money required for seven different kinds of tourism and tourists in the seven partnership countries. They produced a considerable quantity of documents with information and pictures on activities related to cultural, historical, religious, natural, health, sport and educational tourism.
