Mai and June 2016

Romania

The Easter Holiday being over, we started making preparations for the

reunion in Lithuania: the school presentation, the presentation of a formal

activity and a non-formal one, for the exchange of good practices between

partners.

The participants prepared the essays they had won the selection contest with,

for the conference that was to take place in Lithuania.

Between 15th/21

st/05/2016, two two training/teaching/learning activities took

place in Taurage, Lithuania, within the Strategic Partnership Project,

(Erasmus Programme – ACEAFNE):

- Short-term exchanges between groups of students, aimed at the

students.

- Common short-term teacher training events, aimed at the teachers.

Our school was represented by prof. Zepisi Simona, project coordinator at

school and partnership level, prof. Cirstea Nicoleta, prof. Rafira Anca and the

students: Erculescu Teodora (8th grade), Sivache Alessandra, Roman Oana (7

th

grade), Mierloiu Anca (11th

grade).

There were various and instructive activities implemented for the students,

ICT activities for the teachers, exchanges of good practices, which raised the

students’ awareness of environmental issues and initiated the teachers in

employing ICT within any of the core curriculum subjects.

At the end of May and beginning of June, we organized contests within

Recycling Week.

We collected:

- Approximately a ton of waste paper, with classes 7thA and 10thB as

winners

- Approximately 90 kg. of PETs, with class 7thA as the winner

- Approximately 220 batteries, with class 7thA as the winner

- Aluminium cans.

On the 31st of May, there was a new meeting of the students from the target

group with representatives of the Local Authority in Environmental

Protection, Dambovita. The topics we approached were:

- The selective collection of waste products

- “Go Wild for Life” – a topic dedicated in 2016 to The world Day of the

Environment.

On the same day, the students who had participated in the reunion in

Lithuania, gave a presentation of the activities carried out in Lithuania,

sharing their impressions.

On the 9th/10th of June, we had a training session given by the teacher-

participants in Lithuania. The training was organised and coordinated by

prof. Anca Rafira, helped along by the other teachers who participated in

Lithuania.
