Impression after first Comenius year....

One year in the Comenius project

Last year I joined the international  project Huge Designers-Comenius from my school. Nobody said that it was simple but we worked as a team, faced the problems and demonstrate that we're a special group and simply the best!
We had some problems...we're humans...but we also are Huge Designers.
This project helped me to overstep the bounds, practice my English and of course the most important thing it opened up for me new perspectives.
This project helped me to discover new cultures, to see extraordinary places and make new friends.
After a year I can say that I am proud to be a part of this project and now I can "design" a better world.

As a conclusion ..after one year of Comenius

After a year of participation in the international project Huge Designers-Comenius, I can say that I experienced the most beautiful moments of school life. It was a unique experience. This gave us many advantages , one of them , the most important, was the chance to improve our English. 
I visited  the partners countries with very beautiful places and with rich traditions, I learned a lot about the visited cities , but most important is that we made new friendships.
I would repeat this experience fondly whenever I have the oportunity.

After 1 year in Comenius

This year was great for me because I worked hard in this project and I visited a wonderful country-Poland. All this year I had the chance to meet wonderful people from Bulgaria, Turkey and Poland, students and their teachers.

I can not believe how quickly this year passed and I am very eager to work hard in the second year of our project.

I am feeling very confident that we will see again our colleagues from Comenius team.I want to thanks to everybody for this great year an great project and I wish you to all-GOOD LUCK!

DON’T FORGET THAT YOU ARE HUGE DESIGNERS!

Primul an de proiect…

       Cand am aflat ca proiectul pe care l-a propus scoala noastra a fost aprobat, m-am bucurat foarte mult. Mai mult decat atat m-am bucurat si mai tare cand mi s-a propus sa lucrez in acest proiect.

Ne-am adunat, doamna Dan ne-a prezentat proiectul si temele pe care aveam de gand sa lucram si am inceput...

Dupa stabilirea grupului tinta, m-am intalnit cu elevii implicati pentru a pregati prima tema, primul spectacol pe care trebuia sa il prezentam in Turcia. Eu am fost responsabil pe partea de show, musical si sceneta. Am plecat foarte dezamagit dupa prima intalnire pentru ca am crezut ca nu am cu cine pregati acel musical creat in ton cu filmul : ‘’The Sound of Music’’. Scopul meu era sa transmitem prin acest musical ca:

• Metodele moderne combinate cu cele traditionale dau rezultate;
• Profesorii si elevii pot avea o relatia deosebita daca rup acel perete care a fost zidit de-a lungul anilor intre cele doua categorii de oameni mentionate mai sus;
• Scoala si invatatul pot fi minunate, placute si interesante daca ne implicam 100%.
• Invatarea si aprofundarea cunostiintelor de limba engleza.

Am ramas foarte surprins sa vad cat de talentati sunt elevii nostri, cat de deschisi au fost sa vina la repetitii din timpul lor liber. Parintii lor au jucat un rol foarte important in derularea acestui proiect. Dupa un an de zile pot spune cu mana pe inima ca suntem mai uniti,ca parintii au descoperit abilitati ascunse ale copiilor lor si profesorii implicati au format o echipa puternica care nu mai poate fi despartita nici macar in timpul liber.

Sunt mandru si multumit pentru ca am facut lucruri marete, si nu vreau sa fiu modest cand afirm aceste lucruri, avem niste copii, niste unelte pretioase care pot fi prelucrate frumos si pot lua o forma excelenta daca stim cum sa lucram cu ei.

Toate activitatile si intalnirile pe care le-am avut in : Turcia, Romania si Polonia au fost constructive.

Un lucru m-a impresionat foarte tare...in Polonia,(fara sa ii fi spus Ewelinei ce pregatesc cu elevii, am avut marea surpriza sa fim pe aceiasi lungime de unde. Toate aceste lucruri, intamplatoare, spun multe...fuziune, munca in echipa, o echipa unita care are ce oferi celor din jur!) tema principala a fost Prietenia...la final noi am cantat piesa We are the world...imaginati-va urmatoarea scena: elevi, parinti, profesori tinandu-se de maini si cantand piesa. La final toti s-au imbratisat si si-au multumit reciproc pentru tot ce au facut in acest proiect. Elevii din cele 3 tari au format niste prietenii puternice. Ei continua sa comunice zilnic, in limba engleza, prin mijloacele moderne de comunicare.

Daca stam si ne uitam in urma, putem spune ca acest proiect ne-a ajutat foarte mult. Ii culegem roadele si suntem foarte incantati.

Parerea mea este ca pornim cu dreptul in al doilea an de proiect. Mai increzatori si nerabdatori sa ne intalnim cu toti partenerii in Bulgaria.

The first year of the project….

       When I found out  that the proposed project by our school   was approved, I was very happy . Moreover  I enjoyed even more when I was proposed to work in this project.

We gathered, Mrs. Dan showed us the project and issues that we were going to work and we started…

After establishing the target group, I met with the students involved to prepare the first theme, the first show that it had to be presented in Turkey. I was responsible on the show, musicals and plays. I left very disappointed after the first meeting because I thought that I do not have with who to build up musical  made after the film :''The Sound of Music''. My goal was to pass through this musical as:
• Modern methods combined with traditional produce results;
• Teachers and students can have a great relationship if you break that wall that was built over the years between the two categories of people mentioned above;
• School and learning can be wonderful, enjoyable and interesting if we are involved 100%.

• Learning and improving our knowledge of English.

I was very surprised to see how talented our students are, how open they were to come to rehearsal in their spare time. Their parents played an important role in this project. After a year I can say with my hand on the heart that we are united, that parents have discovered hidden skills of their children and teachers involved have formed a strong team that can not be separated even in their  spare time.

I am proud and happy that I did great things, and I do not want to be modest when I say these things, we have some kids, some valuable tools that can be processed and can take a nice good shape if we know how to work with them.

All activities and meetings that we had in Turkey, Romania and Poland were constructive.
One thing struck me very hard ... in Poland, (without being told what I am going to  prepare with my  students Ewelina and  I had the great surprise to be on the same wavelengths. All these things, random, work team, a united team that has something to offer !) the main theme was Friendship ... the final song we sang: ‘’ We Are the World ... imagine the following scene: students, parents, teachers, taking into hands and singing. Finally all were embraced and thanked each other for what they did in this project. Students in the three countries have made some powerful friendships. They continue to communicate daily in English, by modern means of communication.

If we sit and look back, we can say that this project helped us very much. We pick the fruit and we are very pleased.

My opinion is that we start with the right in the second year of the project. More confident and eager to meet with all partners in Bulgaria.
