Prepatory+meeting

toc Let's make here our prepatory meeting! Let's introduce and share our ideas about the project.

=At the beginning a few words about us and our schools=

Kasia: I teach physics and IT in the small school (about 350 pupils) in Wrocław, Poland. We teach the children aged 13-18 years. With this project I worked together with Gosia - teacher of Polish language. Thus did the idea for the project. Science fiction is something that allows you to combine science with literature. Well... more about the school. What distinguishes us is certainly the implementation of the international programme proposed by the International Baccalaureate Organization at the level of high school and middle school. We also have a number of innovations at the school as though the class profile of European diplomacy, and a very interesting profile of humanities. We are Unesco associated school.

=Questions to consider=
 * Which staff, teachers, pupils/students and classes are interested in participating?

Kasia: Pupils aged 16-17. And as I wrote physics and polish language teachers will be involved. Garip: Pupils aged 16-17. Physics(and/or Maths Teacher if possible), Turkish Language Teacher, English Teacher
 * Which curriculum areas, themes and topics could be developed?

Garip: Language and Literature(authors and their works), science, Informatics/ITC, History, Geography Main theme could be sharing of national authors' works and their effects on daily life.


 * What planning and organisation needs to take place?

Garip: Bilateral Comenius or multilateral Comenius, organizing a visiting among our countries, asking for funding for visiting Garip: Reports and dialogues, broadcasting in local TV and newspapers would be available. Beside this orientation in our city will be held and municipality culture manager would be helpful for our project. The students' own powerpoint would be presented
 * What support might be available from government and local authorities, parents associations, the local community and the local media?

=Questions about Comenius project=

Garip: ﻿We want to know EU by doing culture exchange. Mevlana who was the greatest thinker says, Those who are speaking the same language are not brothers but those who are sharing the same feelings are full brothers. Garip: All the staff and pupils will be able to learn and gather new cultural information, share their lives with others and make new international friends Garip: ﻿We have already studied authors and their works in our Turkish Language and Literature Lesson. We have taught them the main aim and theme of these kind of romans.
 * What do you want to get out of work with EU partners?
 * How will it benefit the staff and pupils involved?
 * How will you embed the project in the curriculum?

=Our Project=

We thought that it will be interesting to see whether and how the concepts of science fiction authors are realized after many years in reality. In order to complete this task the students of each school would get to know works of one author of their country and find these ideas. We will focus on two aspects : building an informed citizen and the concepts used in science. Do you like the idea of such a project ? Garip: Certainly, yes. The idea of one author and his/her works will make students focus on the two aspects easily. I believe that this project will improve and enrich the students' imaginations who would get benefits from technology. As you know, as in the example Jules VERNE' s work, Travel To The Moon, although travelling to the Moon was an utopia years ago, people made it true. Nowadays people don't think that they will live in Planet Mars, but who can say that it is impossible to live there in the future.
