Contact Seminar in Slovenia October 2010

Our Comenius partnership was formed as a result of attendance at a Comenius Contact Seminar in Portoroz, Slovenia. We began by displaying information on our respective schools and by getting acquainted with eachother. As the seminar progressed our partnership was sealed culminating with the formation of teachers from the following countries- namely: Belgium, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy and Slovenia.

The overall theme of our project is the environment and is enttitled: " Guide Bag for the Future! Our next step is to prepare our joint application for approval before the end of February 2011. In June we will be notified if we have been successful or not!

So, Sigrid, Dana, Friederick, Giovanna, Eleanor, Cepta, Pia, Llona, Herald and Christian begin the process of completing our joint application. Therefore, this blogspot will act as a platform for sharing ideas, accessing schol websites and indeed any other relevant websites in preparation for our project.

Finally, we would like to express our thanks to Urza and her colleagues for an excellent Contact Seminar and a wonderful to Portoroz- Slovenia's "Little piece of Heaven!" It was a wonderful seminar.
