MINUTES FROM PORTO RECANATI VISIT, JANUARY 2015

During the visit in Porto Recanati in Italy all coordinators had 4 project meetings.

1. The Polish coordinator Kasia Olczak explained some issues concerning money. The teachers had a discussion about ways of spending money and using them in a reasonable and cost-effective manner. We talked about a problem found in application form in F.2.3. Learning/Teaching?Training Activities. All doubts were expressed and cleared up. 
We had a videoconference with Marja Nelemans - the Dutch coordinator who assured us that the Dutch agency is working on the problem. 

2. Kasia Olczak explained the idea of preparing Equality lessons. We decided that first prepared scenarios of  lessons should be sent to partners till the end of FEBRUARY, and then all lessons should be conducted till the end of APRIL. Then all comments translated into English should be sent to partners and Kasia.

3. Kasia Olczak presented examples of pupils' projects - IDOLS PROJECT and GENDER PROJECTS. Every school will prepare at least one project about GENDER EQUALITY this semester ( dead line: June) and will present the results on the blog. 
IDOL PROJECT will present people from our countries who promote EQUALITY. The aim is to CREATE NEW IDOLS, to convict pupils that many of people in many countries fight for equality. 

GENDER PROJECTS - pupils will do their own researches and will make their own conclusions. The aim is to make them think, ask questions, see and at the end change attitudes. 

All partners will present their projects on a blog and the rest will comment on them. 

4. The teachers discussed about the need to put everything we do on a blog and comment it often. We decided to invite more people to the blog and give them the abillity to write comments. 

5. Guidelines/protocols from visits will be prepared by different participants. Kasia Olczak will do the first one to show others a model. 

6. EQUALITY newsletters will be prepared once a semester. First one will be done by Polish school by June. 

7. Every 2 months two schools will talk to each other during a videoconference and share their conclusions on the blog. the first "talks" will contain ice-breaking questions. We chose partners:
