1st meeting in Glasgow (Anniesland College) Scotland – UK November 5, 2011

At this 1^st meeting it was decided to set a timetable for transnational meetings in Augsburg (Germany), Verona (Italy), Torres Vedras (Portugal), Barcelona (Spain) and a final meeting in Lodz (Poland).

…

The 2 days meeting in Glasgow was largely preparatory, with all partners introducing and presented their school via PowerPoint and reinforcing the project aims. We then continued with the outline of the project and how we would achieve the main aims of the project, how much our students consider of the EU, the use of a specific questionnaire, newsletter/magazine, web-site, application outcomes, organisational issues, responsibilities, working methodologies, the use of role reversal between students and teachers, work-plan, and reschedule of meetings due to the withdrawal of our Hungarian partner.

     

…

We decided the main topics of the student’s questionnaire. We decided that the questionnaire could be adapted/designed across the partnership to suit students’ groups, and should include information around:

• Student Background – interests, hobbies, leisure time, music, icons, sports, worries, fears, family life, culture;
• Education – study, progression, qualifications, transfer of skills;
• Employment – availability of employment opportunities, areas of employment growths;
• Environment – highlights of environmental issues, how it will affect young people;
• Europe – identity, priorities, expectations, immigration, migration.

…….

    

…

The partnership also agreed some other duties, like:

• Project evaluation: the Greek partners would work on, therefore each partner should complete the agreed evaluation pro-forma and sent to Eleftherios Venizelos.
• Project Newsletter/magazine:  this would be coordinated by the partner from Holland with the collaboration of various project partners.

…

Cultural Tour: we settled for a visit to the local Whiskey Distillery – Auchentoshan, followed by a shopping trip into Glasgow City Centre and a meal within the Merchant City area of Glasgow. In the day after, the cultural tour continued in Edinburg (visit to the Castle, the Holy Road, etc.).
