Antoine from Paris travelling to Turkey

Hello!

My name is Antoine Vaysse; I am 15 years old and I live in Paris, in France, near the park of Buttes Chaumont, which was a gypsum quarry. I study in Colbert high school, and speak English and German a little, I began to learn German fin primary school1, and English in junior high school, but I already spoke English a little before.

I love playing video games, but I also love handball and basket ball. I like the nature and the animals, I have 2 kittens which are really cute, and they are named Shaka (the male, he is black) and Pouki (the female, on the picture)

With my family, I went to the USA when I was 12; I saw the Grand Canyon, and many other things. It’s the only trip of my life and that was really great!

I prefer science and languages and I like the design but I’m not very found of the other arts.

My brother, Pierre, is 18 years old and my sister, Elise, twenty.

I am very simple as far as gastronomy is concerned: I especially like bread and pasta, grilled meat, but my favourite dish is pasta carbonara.

That is all!

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.
