Day 3

The last day of the Seminar was about the Project planning and Project Presentations. Of course at the end presentation of Certificates.The day began calm and sunny. Warm breeze coming  from the window called for outside activities. We stayed mainly outside during the breaks. Surrounded with high trees we felt very motivated.
My partners from Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Spain and Norway all we gathered in Clio Room to discuss the details of the project " Health Issues among teenagers in European Countries". The age of students was 16 and up. But I risked to join my 13-14 years students to the project as their language level allowed it.
After lunch we did the presentation and 14 more projects. Very amazing was the collaboration and cooperation  +Erasmus countries with eTwinning + Countries.The scheduled tasks were given and details were explined clearly.





After all participants were awarded with Certificates presentated by FRSE. At 4 oclock we gathered to visit the Old Town and Green Gate. We were taken there by bus,on the way to the Old Town we also visited Stocznia Gdanska which  was the place of strikers for freedom.Towards the evening we were taken to the magnificent Palaca Dwor Artusa to dine there. Not every person can have such opprtunity to have dinner there, only Presidents and Prime Ministers could dine there. We , the teachers of eTwinning  Projects had this chance. Very amazing place,calm and peaceful venue for dinner.All we thanked Barbara And her team for organizing such event. I really felt much more obliged to Madam Azerbaijan for my participation  in Gdansk Contact Seminar.

Day 2

Sunshine and warmth of the weather woke me up to the new day. It was such an amazing morning in Gdansk that I almost wished to stay there forever. Not only kindness of people but also the weather itself motivated me to work hard.We had different workshops concerning Etwinning and New Twinspace.Much more relaxed I feel in Ewa's Workshop.She explained us the easeness of new platform.How to use and colloborate with partners. That workshop was dedicated to Etwinning Plus countries members.During breaks I had talks with different partners from Poland, France, Norway Ukraine.We had much talk about our future project issues. Common views were discussed, mainly the age and language level of students were the in our interest.









After workshops we watched 2 presentations in Rea Room . E - safety while working on Internet, which privacy rules we should know, but are still unaware of them. very little mistake can cause a big problem.The video we watched was about that.

Participating in an eTwinning project means that you are an individual who wishes to provide his or her pupils with the best chances of succeeding by offering them the possibility to exchange, to share, to cooperate and to broaden their horizons. The most motivating presentation inspired me for the following successes.I need to do that,otherwise I'll feel my students be left without knowledge.

Day 1

Having informed about my participation in Gdansk Contact Seminar I felt very happy,..Thus it meant my active cooperation with partner countries.September 11th we got to Gdansk, after tiring flight I thought it would be very hard to take part in presentation. But I was mistaken,the presentation made by Chris was so interesting and involving that I nearly forgot about the time.His motivating presentation made all of us to follow all his instructions without a question.His grouping us according the months made us know each other very closely.(As we didn't get time  to know one another).To the end he informed us about the failures and successes of projects, their aspects, their forms and of course the conditions which help to have best cooperation. I liked the "KISS" part of the presentation. (Keep it simple, stupid )






The next grouping was according the badges that we were given. Each of us had a badge with sightseeings of Gdansk.And we were distributed according these places of interest. We were 8 ,Aránzazu Iturrioz Pardo(Spain),Sonja Dziapko-Harrington(Germany),Veronika Jelinkova(Czech republic), Bo Lunden (Sweden) and others  and were given the task to make a story using the objects in the Magic Box, besides we had to take "Helping Hand" by the seaside desk. Being late we would be deprived theDinner at "Nod Potokiem" restaurant. Unfortunately we were in time to finish the story. After the Presentation we had great dinner at the restaraunt. By the way the dishes were delicious.
