Turkey, May 2009

Turkey: Serap Noyan

Estonia: Tiiu Leibur, Anu Kusk, Airi Metsaar, Meeli Janes, Kaja Tammetalu

Spain: Maria Jose Campello Navarro, Maria Jose Leira Ambros

Germany: Birgit Kapitza, Annet Friebel, Simone Stefenak

Ireland: Sharon Smith, Aoibheann Murray (Minute taker)

England: Paula Robbins
(Chair)


Website Report Generator – food diaries
This will become available online in the middle of September.
Decisions made:
• Different students to those who undertook the Pedometer tests will be used.
• This activity will be carried out by schools prior to the meeting in Ireland in November.
• Students must go online to complete the form.
• Ten students aged 14 years old are to complete the exercise.

Film
Some countries have already started work on this. It was agreed that the film should be about the local area and each school is to include:
• an introduction about the area;
• details about the history of the region and the school
• and personalities of the region and the school.
The film is to be
• produced by students
• shown by the students at the meeting in Estonia in September.
• The length of the film should be no more than 10 minutes.
Each country is to bring a copy of the dvd for all other countries.

Ecotourism Booklet
The booklet should show details about
• the region
• linking tourism with environmental protection
• how the area looked in the past and
• what will make the region attractive for people to visit.
• what young people can do in the region

This should be no less than 5 pages and no more than 10 pages in length and made as a paper presentation.
The booklet should be ready to be shown at the meeting in Germany in May 2010.

Student Communication
Some countries advised that they would have difficulties in setting up video conferences. It was agreed that teachers will try to encourage students more to communicate with each other. A standardised question sheet could be used for them to send to each other initially. It was agreed that meetings in each country should be more focussed student involvement.

Future Activities – Calendar
Birgit (Germany) has a computer programme which will create the calendar and volunteered to put this together. Up to 12 photographs per school can be sent to Birgit who will then collate them and add them to the calendar. The photographs must be sent by March 2010 at the latest.

Feedback Students and Staff
The Estonian contingency presented pre-prepared feedback sheets for both staff and students to complete following visits to each country. All countries present agreed that these were a very good idea. These will be sent to each school electronically for them to use. They are to be completed by staff and students for each conference and the student findings are to be presented by the students.

Presentations
Could each school please upload the presentations they make at each meeting up on to the Comenius website so that each country can access them once they return home.

Pedometer Results
A form will be emailed to each school by the Estonian group for the pedometer results to be filled in. This should then be sent back for them to collate the information and carry out comparisons and prepare a summary for the meeting in September.

Final Party in Estonia
Students on the visit to Estonia will be asked to teach a game, song or dance of their nationality to the other students. This should be prepared and presented by the students at the Estonian visit.

Could each school please advise Estonia of the number of students and staff who will be attending the meeting in September by no later than 15th June 2009. A maximum of 3 students please, but the number of staff is unlimited.

Ireland
Could each school please advise Ireland of the number of students and staff who will be attending the meeting in November by no later than 1st September 2009. Again, a maximum of 3 students please.

Germany
Each school should advise Birgit what activities students would like to undertake during their visit to Germany and also what gifts they would like to receive whilst there.
