Dear colleagues,
Our school is the secondary school in Mažeikiai, Lithuania. The students are of different ages: from 6 to 19 years old. There are about 700 students and 70 teachers this year. We haven’t taken part in such projects so far. But we are very enthusiastic in trying. We bare looking for partners within the Comenius partnership framework, we’d be pleased to join your project or maybe you will like some ideas from our proposal presented below:
Call for the Comenius project
The main areas of working would be the students with different needs, including either the most gifted students, the students with some different types of disabilities or the students with social problems.
The aim of this project will be reached by student and teacher co-operation involving students with special needs, gifted or disabled ones.
Our ideas to realize the project are as follows:
- every participating school prepares performances about traditional feasts, holidays, including songs, dances, games, dishes, costumes, national traditions;
- the students and teachers of each team present their traditions ( songs, cooking technology, dances, traditional games) to other participants;
- each team produces the teaching material on the methods of creating motivation working with the students of special needs which could be used in these schools (with a common copyright);
- the meetings at local schools should be arranged (providing the participations of students from each country). The meetings should be agreed about the time, countries and number of students and teachers;
- presentations such as cooking methods, traditions should be performed in English
- the product of the project ought to be a small bilingual dictionary recorded on CD
(everyday phrases and the most useful words, some examples of proverbs or idioms should be translated into English and languages of all participating countries; the soundtrack and video should be recorded if possible, for example, each participant records the soundtrack in mother tongue, the performance of traditional dance and song, pictures of traditional dishes, costumes, famous landmarks, etc.).
We are open to any other ideas and suggestions.
