ODISEEA LA SCOALA CU CLASELE

 I-VIII,CHISCANI

Din august 2008,Scoala cu clasele I-VIII,Chiscani este implicata intr-un proiect de parteneriat multilateral Comenius ,,Odiseea’’alaturi de alte trei scoli din Ungaria,Polonia si Turcia.In cadrul acestui parteneriat a avut loc prima intalnire de proiect in octombrie 2008,in Ungaria .

Incepand din noiembrie 2008,echipele s-au intalnit pe ateliere de lucru avand ca scop realizarea unor obiecte din lut si ipsos infatisand scene din Odiseea-,,Caderea Troiei’’precum si realizarea unor povestiri digitale pe aceeasi tema.

Intreaga echipa de lucru a studiat legendele si miturile grecesti si de asemenea posibilitatile de a posta pe site-ul eTwining activitatile din cadrul proiectului,fapt realizat cu succes inca din noiembrie 2008.

In viitor speram ca acest proiect va fi incununat de succes,dand posibilitatea atat profesorilor cat mai ales elevilor scolii noastre de a se ,,exprima’’in cadrul acestui amplu dialog european.

School in Chiscani – Scola cu Clasele I-VIII.

Our school is situated at fifteen kilometres from Braila, on the left side of the Danube but it is disadvantageous and inadequate physically. There is not enough place for the students to do social activities. Our students come from rural area, so we face with some specific needs from them. Their interest in reading and using IT is low Being a rural aria , a disadvantageous socio-economic background, the number of unemployers are higher ,and more of our students’ parents travel abroad for working. But all the staff work cooperatively with the parents and we are trying to improve the education level of our school.

One of the reasons why we want to take part in such a project is that our school hasn’t participated in a European cooperative activity. As we are participating in this project we want to experience an international activity and to help our staff and our students improve their international and intercultural knowledge. We also want to introduce our school, our city, our country and our culture to the other nations. Besides we are going to have a chance to learn about other cultures and European values. In addition we want to make our students conscious about the global peace and the tolerance among difference cultures and nations. Participation in a project helps teachers and pupils to understand and appreciate different views and opinions. We hope that our participation leads the change in attitude of teachers towards the use of interactive methods of teaching compared to the traditional methods and our students will become competent IT users .Not at least ,this project opens up the horizons of the parents, of the participating pupils and teachers, to the diversity and similarities within our common European heritage.
