The Turkish team published the brochure "Money makes the world turn around" with detailed tourist information to the Turkish province of Hatay and its capital Antioch, and some more general information to the cities, towns and villages where the other European partner schools are located: places of interest, food, accommodation, mini dictionary, etc.

With the support of

 

Plants travel around Europe

Convinced of the importance of natural and ecotourism, the CD “Plants travel around Europe” has been conceived as a particular landscape of our project, with its genuine flavors.  It contains a description of the local vegetation and traditional plants, some of them used in the kitchens of our countries.  Photographs illustrate the descriptions and bibliography enables a further investigation. 

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 unfortunately was damaged by a destructive tornado at the beginning of 2011.  A big part of the garden got lost. 

Project Meetings Evaluation "Let's Travel!" - Power Point Presentation

"The most memorable moment was when I saw for the first time,

during the dinner for teachers at the Lycée Colbert,

in that great room from the 19 century,

a bottle of champagne with the label of the Comenius Program".

Project Logo “Let’s Travel!”

Italian students of Graphic Design created the Project Logo, which visually identifies and makes easier to recognize all the countries of the partnership. The logo was applied in all partner schools and to all activities and products arising from the project: Blogs, TwinSpace, calendar, videos, brochures, documents, leaflets, gadgets, mobility activities, etc.

Films on Sustainable Tourism [3]

One of the aspects of tourism is eco tourism or sustainable tourism. Three schools (in Spain, Portugal and France) have each shot a short film to show through different examples how sustainable tourism develops in their country and how sustainable development can be coped with, taking into account the difficulties and problems each country or city meets.

Radio Clype Programmes "Let's travel!" [4]

Click on the image to listen to the Radio Clype programmes

Two different kinds of radio programmes were made during the two years.  One during the mobilities to Paris (January 2011, January 2012): French students interviewed their guests (students and teachers) about the visits they had made, the host families, their impressions, and the activities in Paris. These interviews were carried out within the studio of Radio Clype in Paris.  The other programme was made in each country and sent to France: in 2011, the students of the seven counties described a famous touristic place worth visiting, in English and their mother tongue. In 2012, students recorded one or several traditional recipes of their country or region.

Comenius Song "Let's travel!"

Zabrze, Poland (November 2011)

The Comenius song was composed (music and lyrics in French) by a group of French students and a teacher to welcome their guests on the first mobility to Paris. It was then used as a common link and a sort of hymn during the mobilities. It was translated into English by the Polish team and then into Catalan by the Spanish team; it was sung on the Day of Europe, May 9th 2012, during the last mobility to Spain.

Pen Friends' Activity

The Pen Friends' activity has produced uncountable results: from students’ profiles, introduction letters, descriptions of places and travel journals until spontaneous chatting to mutual knowledge and travel –mobility- experiences.  The most part of these students’ writings can be found on the Project Blog, on the Blogs in Foreign Languages, on TwinSpace and on Facebook.

The TwinSpace Project "Let's travel!"

The TwinSpace Project "Let's travel! Mailing Europe" has become an outcome which –like the Project Blog- contains a very representative visualisation of team working and communication: more than 300 pupils’ and more than 40 teachers’ profiles, mailbox and a collection of all project activities and mobilities (files, sound and video archive; pictures galleries, blogs and wikis).

Blogs in Foreign Languages: English, French and German Blog

In order to foster competences in foreign languages and ICT by taking Tourism as a topic we created three Blogs: an English Blog (Let’s travel in English!), a French Blog (En voyage!) and a German Blog (Lasst uns reisen!).  They contain students’ introductions and writings about themselves and their experiences of travelling, descriptions of places and online resources for learning foreign languages through the Internet.  

Calendar "Let's travel 2012!"

The Calendar “Let’s Travel 2012!” is a mosaic of the European variety of regional cultures.  Students of Graphic and Design of the Italian school coordinated, developed and designed the calendar by placing the information and images prepared by all partners.  Each country created two pages (two months), one on a significant local event or feast and one on tourism promotion.
