A high-quality Erasmus project deserves attention not only from the schools whose students participate in mobility programs, but also from the general public. That is why it is important that all activities, new knowledge, skills, and experiences be well documented and presented not only on the project’s own website, but above all on the websites of the individual schools.
That is why Friday was filled with documentation and journalistic activities. However, before the students began writing reports and processing the collected material, they had the opportunity to test their newly acquired knowledge using a Kahoot! quiz. Sweet rewards awaited the winners.
This was followed by group work. In international teams, students were assigned tasks and specific topics to cover. The journalists prepared reports on each project day, describing in detail the activities that took place on those days, as well as what they learned, what interested them most, and what they were taking home with them. Teachers from all partner schools, especially Ms. Cappelletti and Mr. Haas, assisted them with the specialized topics. A separate topic to be addressed was the questionnaire. With the generous assistance of Mr. Benedikt Kirsch, the students learned at least the basic principles of using AI tools to evaluate the questionnaire results. They discovered that it wasn’t all that easy, but under the guidance of an experienced educator, even the prompts began to make sense.
Another creative group was tasked with compiling a comprehensive photo documentation of the flora of the Tatra National Park. Their assignment was to create a teaching aid in the form of a memory game featuring pictures of plants and their names in Latin and English.
However, the German and Italian groups had one more task ahead of them: to write a letter to their city council or mayor, focusing on the problems and challenges their cities face in relation to climate change and proposing solutions and measures to mitigate its impact. A very lively and constructive discussion ensued in both groups, yielding interesting content to be conveyed to the city officials. Readers will be able to find out how the delivery of these letters went on this page once it is updated.
After lunch, the students scattered – some heading home, others going shopping in town – to make the most of their last unorganised moments together. In the evening, they met again in the school cafeteria to celebrate the past week together at the closing party. They were presented with certificates and small gifts, and after these formalities, they could just have fun.
We thank the parents for the wonderfully varied and delicious catering. But also for their willingness to welcome, even if only for a week, a “new child” into their family and share their home with them.
