Our visit to Brno, The Czech Republic

So we went to Brno, The Czech Republic.
It was a delightful cultural and educational exchange. It involved a lot of effort - there is no doubt about this, but all in all I would say it was worth it. Why the effort? Because the coordinating teacher has to supervise the whole team and take care of all details. Plus, some of our students and teachers had some health problems so I had to be extra careful. We finally managed to take our student, Anişoara Ciobanu with us, to the Czech Republic. She finally got better and came out of the hospital so that she could join the Comenius team for the 3rd Comenius school trip.

Our overall coordinator, Jutta Nagel was very pleased with our work on the project and congratulated us for the Alternative Energy Project Proposal.

I also have good news on the social side of this exchange: I came to realize that Western high school girls are very fond of Eastern European teenage boys, that is Romanian boys :) :) :)

News

I need to make a note to my last post in earthseaskycomeniusromania: we are going to take Theodor Hârgău instead of Anişoara Cioabanu to Brno, Czech Republic because Anişoara isn't feeling very well at the moment.

Later,

The 2nd Comenius mobility

Dear all,

I would like to inform you about the second Comenius mobility within the Europen project 2009-2011. It took place in Kuopio, Finland, at Klasikka High School. The people who participated were:

Teachers: Mihai Vitcu, Alina Stoleriu, Oltea Savin
Students: Loredana Cristinaru, Adi Sergiu Loghin, Cristina Bivol, Nicu Agapi, Monica Zimbru

It was an enlightening encounter. We discussed our previous activities and set up the ones to be done in the near future. Also, we took a glimpse of Finnish people, their lifestyles, their language, their food and most importantly, their educational system, which is flawless, by the way.

Klassikka high school impressed us all very much. Almost everybody in Finland speaks English, their school is very clean, the staff very well organized. The Finnish school system is brilliant, that's my opinion. I was astonished by the students' good behaviour, politeness and sensitivity.
Plus, our Finnish hosts offered us the possibility to have sauna. We all tried it, first students (female, then male), then teachers (female, then male). So it was all very well planned and organized.

You should also know that two of our students had to participate in the poetry slam and read out loud the poems they had written back home. The winners were the Spanish students but our students were praized by the other teachers and students as well. The winning poems were measured by the intensity of the public's applause.

I'll be back with more info; Yours truly,


Alina S
