Comenius Meeting at IGS Garbsen


Today, the IGS students met for the third time. The meeting started with a group picture which now includes all 15 participants and the two teachers.
Next, we watched scenes from the film "L'auberge Espagnole" to introduce the topic of national identity to the students. This was followed by classroom discussions about national identity.

The students were then given the questionnaires. To understand what the questions mean and to be able to interview other people, they filled them out themselves.
Finally, the profiles of their Basque partners were handed out, which caused great excitement even though most of the students had already been contacted from Spain via social media.
It was a demanding work session for the Comenius group as all the other students have already left for their autumn holidays.

Comenius Teachers' Meeting in Budapest -SEP-OCT 2014

Our meeting started on Monday, September 29. We were greeted by Viktor, the coordinator of the hosting school, in the conference room of our hotel.


On Tuesday, we met at the school, which is located in a beautiful building erected in 1914.
We managed to plan the second project year in great detail. The reward was a fantastic boat tour on the Danube around sunset followed by a tasty dinner at a very typical Hungarian restaurant.

The field trip took place on Wednesday, Oct 1st. We were guided by Gabor, who is a teacher at the host school; he used to be a professional guide. Among the many magnificent sights were Hero Square, Castle Hill and the President's palace.


As we are facing major changes in our project with the introduction of ERASMUS+, we needed
to come up with new ideas for the application for the new project starting from 2015, which were discussed on Thursday, Oct 2nd.
After a very exhausting day we all went to the city centre for the farewell dinner.

On Friday we visited the Parliament, shared documents and pictures and most of us went back home.
