CCC-meeting 22.5.
1.Report (in Finland we have to send it ´til 30.6.2009):
Partnership activities/results during year 2008-2009
Comenius wall: Schools made posters and introduced their country to other project schools. On Comenius wall there were posters and different material (flags, maps..) and information.
Comenius day: in Finland it was in November 2008, in North Ireland in February 2009 , In Estonia and in Spain in May 2009
Logo competition: Idea was good but difficult to find the winner! But we have great logo in our project. It was also difficult to children to understand what is logo and difficult to draw a logo..
Sea book: Every school made a book about their coastline and sea. All the books are well made, high quality.
Traditional game: Every school made a dvd about their traditional game or play that younger pupils like to play. Dvd´s are great, now we can learn new games from each other.
Jauram brochure: Merivälja kool made a brochure of making a Jauram, the traditional instrument. All schools make these instruments in autumn 2009.
In every project school, all pupils were involved somehow to C-C-C-project. We found that it´s important thing and try to work same way during next project year.
We didn´t find any big problems in our project during the first year!
2.Activities during year 2009-2010
Sea book: How to use book in classroom. Every school tells experiences and ideas in next meeting, (Write down, bring ideas with you!)
Jauram: build the instrument , how to use? Make a videoclip (powerpoint, movie maker…?) (deadline December- before Christmas).
Sea related dance: Make or show folk or modern dance. Make a video (deadline- last meeting)
Remember to have your European day / Comenius day

The concrete objectives of the partnership is to enable children to:
• discover their own coastline, geographically, economically and morphologically;
• acquire knowledge about the coastline of the other countries and compare them to their
• own;
• look at their country as something separate and as part of the European Union;
• highlight the children’s awareness of themselves as European citizens;
• explore their own and other countries’ culture and life (multiculturalism);
• use English to communicate and share information with different countries;
• be sensitised to environmental issues;
• develop children’s artistic, creative, expressive, linguistic, computing, technological and
social skills.
Subjects
The children will examine their own and other countries’ products, animals, food, famous people and geographical locations as an introduction of the Comenius Project – "Comenius Wall".
Approach to achieve objectives:
The co-ordinators in each partner school will undertake the supervision of children’s activities during the two years of the programme. Co-ordinators and teachers in schools will organise the making of a poster, project wall, a sea book, traditional games and dance, an Estonian musical instrument, two European Open Days, creation and ongoing management of a
Website.
The children will share the outcomes of their research and tasks with their partner schools through e-mails, video footage, digital photographs and the creation of a sea book and posters.

Staff and pupils who participate in the project will:
• become more aware of their identity as European citizens;
• they will increase their geographical, cultural and political knowledge of their home and other European countries;
• make greater use of their English as a second language by communicating with other European schools;
• increase the motivation to learn English and their mother tongue;
• increase frequency and competence in using their mother tongue when working on the project activities;
• many of the partner schools are geographically on the edge of Europe such as Finland, Estonia and Ireland and participation in the project will to some extend negate European isolation;
• by learning more about and different cultures and communicating with other European countries staff and children will be more likely to understand those differences, accept and tolerate others;
• collaboration and cooperation skills will be enhanced during project within home schools and between partner schools not just for children but also for staff;
