a)  What is your general impression of this project?
My impression of the project is very good. It is a social project, which unites many nations to take profit out of the meeting of us students and our own teachers and ideas. As well it connects the work with the fun part : Sightseeing, interesting trips and new friendships !
All in all: It unites!

b)  What have you learn about the topic of the project?
I´ve learned a lot about the topic we dealt with. For example about recycling, how it works and what ways there are to recycle. Or how to become independent and start new projects on our own

c)  Write about other benefits or skills you have developed.
I´ve developed the skills of good teamwork and how to communicate with people so there can´t be any misunderstandings

d)  What have been the best and the worst aspects of the project?
All of the things listed up before were the best parts of the project. In my opinion, there were no  bad aspects.

e)  What would you do to improve the project next year?
It would be easier for everybody, if the setting of assignments is more precise.

# data[].attributes.body
1a)

My general impression is positive, because the project connects six countries in Europe. We had many fun with the students and made lots of experiences.

1b)

I learnt about the recycling in the other countries. And some things about the creation of a mini company and about the time bank.

1c)

It was very interesting to live with an exchange student and I got some impressions about the country of the student.

It was interesting, but also very different to work in a group where every student comes from another country. And we also had lots of fun.

I learned some language of my exchange student and I think it improved my English a little bit, because it was  good to speak English the whole day.

1d)

I think the best were the activities in the afternoons that we had organized, because it was very funny. And the second good thing was the film we did about recycling and don't produce so much rubbish (in Germany).

1e)

I don't know.

# data[].attributes.body
a)      Exciting:    meeting new people,                           travelling

Useful:       improving English,                             learning about other countries, cultures,...

changing consciousness of environment and protecting it

b)      I`ve learnt:that Germany is exemplary in recycling and other countries  should change or even establish a cycling system.

that creating a company is more complex than I thought.

that we have to use renewable energy ALL over the world to  save our planet.

c)      I:  am more open-minded than before.

developed a new strategy to solve problems.

think about my own lifestyle and consider to change it in                            environmental aspects.

am more confident while speaking English.

d)      best:          international groups

learning more about recycling

getting food for thought (Gedankenanstöße)

working on many interesting and creative tasks (movie,                           company,...)

worst:  students stayed with students from their own country

e)      - program always drawn up by STUDENTS (→ more fun for everyone!)

- better communication between the different countries after one and     - before the  next meeting

- new website (eTwinning is very complex and no one understood or     - used it!)

- clearer wording/ formulation of tasks (Mainly the tasks between the      - meetings          that were made by every student, were hard to understand   - and every country      dealt with them in a different way. → hard to          -        - compare results!!)

# data[].attributes.body
1       a) It was amazing, interesting and we’ve a lot of fun.

b) I’ve learned it’s very important to recycle and to use renewable energy.         All we learned are good experiences for our lifes.

c) It was a wonderfull time and I’ve learned a lot about other cultures and    that teamwork is very important etc.

d) best: experiences, new people, new culture

worst: long presentation

e) more work in groups

2       a) /

c) I think all in all this project was very very good!

d) the rubbish problem and it’s not solved

4   a) money

# data[].attributes.body
a)     I think the project is a very good idea, because we meet people from other countries and improve our spoken English. We also get to know about other cultures.

c)     Skills:  -better spoken English,  -teamwork

-social and emotional living with foreign students

d)    Best Aspects:  -meet foreign students,  -get to know about customs of other countries,  -activities with all the students (e.g. ice skating in  Achim)

Worst Aspects:  -too long and too many resentations
-too short time while the exchange students stay

e)  I would extend the mobilities, because a few days are a very short time to get know of your exchange student.  Short presentations are for students, who can not concentrate on one topic for a long time.

# data[].attributes.body
a)      My general impression of the Erasmus + project is, that it`s a great way to learn more about the schools and students in other European countries. It`s just a great chance to compare school systems and for sharing opinions and ideas about the topics, for example the ecological footprint.

b)      I learned very much about organizing and structuring presentations and how to start a project or for example the process of idea -> concept -> reality. It was very good that we discussed the ways how to save the earth and how to improve recycling and renewable energy.

c)       As I said in answer a) I mostly learned something about doing presentations and talk in front of other students and teachers. I learned very much about the other cultures of European countries and it was very interesting to see how fins live and how the lessons are structured in Finland.

d)      The best aspects are:

·         Learn more about other cultures

·         Improve my thoughts about renewable energy and creation of a mini company

·         Live with other families
The worst aspects are:
·         Sometimes bad time management and unclear exercises

·         The communication isn`t as good as it could be

e)      I would improve the management of the visits in other countries and the exercises, especially what were going to do with the results after elaborating them. (Sometimes we had very good results but we never used them for really improve for example the recycling at our schools.)

# data[].attributes.body
a)      What is your general impression of the project?

My general impression of the project is really positive. I am still glad choosing this project as an extracurricular activity at school. I enjoy the meetings after the normal lessons at school, especially because you feel ‚connected‘ with other parts of Europe, because you speak about meetings in other countries and this increase the anticipation to travel and to meet the other students.

b)      What have you learnt about the topics of the project?

I have learnt something about recycling for example. We have talked with students from other countries and it was very interesting to learn something about the different recycling systems. While doing so I noticed that the German system is not perfect and improvable.

c)       Write about other benefits or skills you may have developed as leadership, social and emotional living with foreign students and families, teamwork, foreign languages, …

I have made the experience to accomodate somebody else. I had the opportunity to make use of the language which I learn since a long time.

d)      What have been the best and the worst aspects ofthe project?

The highlight of the project is for me the meeting with the students from other countries.

e)      What would you do to improve the project next year?

More clear setting of tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
1a) -The project is the perfect chance to learn about other cultures and get impressions of other countries.
-It was very nice to get to know the other Erasmus+ kids.
-It´s cool that we can talk about making the world better.

1b) –I learned so much that I can´t say everything.
-I´ve learned so much new ways of recycling and how you can help other people, I didn´t know before

1c) –I´ve learned that working in groups with people from different countries can effect the results in an very good way.

1d) –The best aspect was to know about each countries and to get the chance to see so much new and interesting things you normaly would never have the chance to see. And that you can work with so much new unknown and different people.
-The worst aspect was that sometimes the organization was not as good as it should be.

1e) – I think we should talk to the interested peoples o that they can see how wonderful these experiences are.

2a) – I think our school didn´t change much but I for myself look that I don´t throw rubbish on the flour our school.

2b) – We have a water dispenser so that we can use plastic bottles more often.

2c)  – maybe that you know more about the projects, so that you can see what exactly the project is.

2d) –There were no problems!

# data[].attributes.body
a) I think the Erasmus+ project is a good idea because you get to know new cultures and you can meet new people. Also you can improve your English and you can learn something about important topics like recycling or renewable energy.

b) Recycling: There are a lot of different ways to recycle rubbish and every country has some own ways and dustbins for specific waste.
Creation of a mini company: I learned that it is very hard to plan a mini company and one needs a lot of creative ideas for a program and a logo.
Time bank: The time bank is a very interesting idea but I think it is very hard to realize something like that. Also it has some mistakes and problems, so I don`t think that it would work.
Teaching learning process: There are a lot of different ways in different countries. Some countries use a lot of technology and other countries explain some topics with a role play or with group work.

c)
·         teamwork

·         social an emotional living with foreign students and families

·         communication or public speaking

·         to be responsible for somebody (guest student)

d) Best aspects:
·         meet new people from other countries

·         learn something about important topics

·         get new friends

·         a lot of funny activities with people from the program

Worst aspects:
·         to many and to long presentations

·         just a few days

e)
·         Maybe the program needs a little bit more structure like fixed appointments for the whole group.

·         Less presentations, more group activities (maybe outside or in Bremen or something like that)

# data[].attributes.body
A)  I think it`s great that we are given the opportunity to get to know people from all over Europe. I had a great time here in Achim and in Tampere.

B)  I learned a lot about recycling and renewable energy and also a bit aboust the creation of a mini company even though this is quite hypothetical.

C)    Best: - meeting people from other countries

-    Part of the Activities

Worst: -too many (long) presentations

# data[].attributes.body
1.   My general impression of the project is amazing

2.    About the topics in this project, i  have learnt more than i could say and more than i can remind but the thing i will keep the most is recycling, upcycling and reusing

3.   My other benefits are that i have made so much much important experiences for my whole life, i have met people i will never forget, i have learnt a bit of spanish ( mostly rude words) and i will never forget how amazing my host family was!

4.  Best aspects: the time outside the school with all the erasmus people together, the new friends

Worst aspects: e twinning and all the presentations on one long day

5.  I would improve the organisation

FEEDBACK TO SCHOOLS

1. The school hasn`t made a big change...

2. Our school got named in the newsletter

3. We can improve our organisation of the tours and the presentations.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION

1.  We have made better connections between the countries, we are the future of the EU and we have to spread projects like this

2.  The EU have solved all our financial problems

# data[].attributes.body
A)     The project gives us an insight into the different countries in Europe. The students learn a lot from each other and became friends. That’s great!

B)      I have learned about the differences in the countries and hearing the ideas from them was very interesting.

C)      I had a great experience meeting students I hadn`t know before and becoming friends with them. Besides, it was really great how fast we became a group with such a strong teamwork.

D)     The best part of the project was the fun we had when we worked on  it and the worst aspect was the very long presentations we heard.

E)      Not so many long presentations.

# data[].attributes.body
a) What is your general impression oft he project?

My general impression is very good and I am absolutley pleased that I can take part in this project because it is an awesome opportunity to meet new people and to learn about different cultures.

b) What have you learnt about the topics of this project?

Of course I have learnt a lot about all the topics we have but I remember the different recycling systems the best. That topic was really interesting to me because I didn´t knew much about the other recycling systems. Through the group work we did I developed that it is really hard to find a perfect recycling system and that of cause also the german one is not perfect.

c) Write about other benefits or skills you may have developed as leadership, social and emotional living with foreign students and families, teamwork, foreign language, communication or public speaking, problem-solving, adaptability,...

Living with a foreign student was a great experiencebecause we saw that we are able to communicate in a foreign language (english). That is something which is really important because we only talk english in the classroom and you are always asking yourself what all that is of use for  you in the real life.

Moreover living with a foreign student was really fun because we did so many fun things together. In addition I also learnt a lot about all the different cultures which was really interesting.

d) What have been the best and the worst aspects oft he project?

One of the best aspects is of cause talking in a foreign language and also of cause when you travel to another country.

To say that was the worst aspect about the project so far is almost impossible because all in all this project is an amazing possibility and there is nothing that I would call the worst aspect.

e) What would you do to improve the project next year?

Maybe the questions could be more precise because often I wasn’t really sure what we have to do.

# data[].attributes.body
a) What is your general impression of the Project?
My general impression of the project is very positive. In my opinion we get a good change of tasks, so it remains interesting and does not become boring. The project is a great opportunity to learn something about different countries and it gives you an international view on the topics we deal with during the meetings in school.

b) What have you learnt about the topics of this project?
I have learnt a lot about the different topics of this project. Especially, I remember the recycling lesson well. Now I know how various countries manage their recycling and where the differences are.

c) Write about other benefits or skills you may have developed.
First of all, an obvious benefit is the opportunity to talk in a foreign language with foreign students. That is great to improve your own language skills or check if you are even able to communicate in a foreign language.  Besides that, the work in little international groups and the presentations we had to held in front of the whole group helped to open up and be more confident.

d) What have been the best and the worst aspects of the project?
In my opinion one of the best aspects of the project is the fact of meeting new peolpe. During the mobility we spent a lot of time together with our host students and we always have done something fun togehter. I like how the project supports international friendships that will maybe last for a lifetime. To find a worst aspect is difficult for me because I am of the opinion that there has not been something really bad. I have experienced just one mobility so far, but I am pretty sure that a worst aspect will not appear in the next mobilities aswell.

e) What would you do to improve the project next year?
Maybe the setting of the assignments could be the next time a bit more precise and clear. I do not want to say that the setting of the tasks was not to understand everytime, but for example when we got the task which dealt with the mini company I did not really know if it was a theoretical assignment or if we actually had to put our idea into practice.

FIRST
YEAR EVALUATIONS BY THE ACHIM STUDENTS

# data[].attributes.body
The general impression of the project is overwhelmingly positive by all the students.

In the answers, the positive aspects are given much more room than the few critical re-marks made by the students.

As to topic-related learning, the students claim to have learned most about the topic
of energy and recycling. Some mention the various approaches in the six countries, others outline their gradually growing awareness of environmental aspects.

As to mini companies, they express that they had not imagined establishing a mini company to be such a complicated and complex process.

Concerning the teaching learning process, our students are amazed how different some approaches are in the various countries.

Introducing time banks is considered a nice idea, but difficulties are seen as to their implementation on account of the big size of our school. It might work on a one to one basis, though.

A large section in the answers focusses on more general benefits and skills:

>  increasing social competence in dealing with highly different people from six     national backgrounds / effectiveness of teamwork in international groups

>  increasing tolerance, flexibility and adaptability

>  enlarging one´s cultural competence about five countries

>  developing more self-confidence and the ability to speak in front of people

>  the readiness to overcome difficulties, prejudices and inhibitions

>  improving one´s English (and even Spanish) and presentation skills

As to the best aspects, the students repeat all of the things mentioned above, but, unsurprisingly, having found friends all over Europe and enjoying so much fun ranges on top of the other points.

The worst aspects are given much less room in the answers: presentations are considered too long, tasks are perceived as not clear enough, and sometimes, the general organization could be improved. However, it is worth mentioning that some students had no critical point at all.

As improvements, the students prefer more group work to shorter presentations, and would like to have more precise assignments for their workshops.

Improvements – remain in the EU.
To improve the project I’d make group conversations on some sort of messaging app; to keep up with what each country is doing.
I would improve the project by having presentations and talks on topical and political issues and the views from different countries so that people can have an interesting international perspective a current affairs.
If I could improve one thing in the project for next year it would be to have more contact between schools before and after the trips.
Travel with British Airways (please!)
To improve the project I think we need to stay in the EU!
I would improve the project by extending it for a longer amount of time.
Less powerpoints!
Next year I would have more workshops.

Worst – Ryanair was a nervous experience. Best – the people.
The best parts of the project has been meeting new people, and learning about new cultures. I’ve really enjoyed meeting people my age from other countries and learning about their lives. The communication between each project has been slow and we haven’t kept up much of an online friendship.
My best aspect was meeting foreign students and immersing in their different cultures as this was interesting and satisfying. My worst aspect was the repetitive nature of the work throughout – but learning about other countries through giving and listening to presentations abroad.
I believe the best aspect of the project has been meeting and working with new people from around the world. As for the negatives, I feel the only problem is the communication between countries between the trips.
I have enjoyed all of it, there has not been a “best” or “worst” part of the project. Apart from Ryanair.
I think the best thing about this project is meeting new people and doing social activities as a group.
The best part is the excitement of travelling to somewhere we have never been to before. The worst part are the long power points.
The best would be travelling and meeting new people. The worst is the long power points.
The best bits are the social activities. The worst part was the long power points we had to do.

Social was fab and experiencing heat and another culture. I get on well with everyone. Improved speaking and accepting others as leaders.
I’ve improved my social skills and my general people skills, after staying with completely new people. My confidence in leadership has increased and I have more confidence meeting big groups.
I have been able to develop my team working skills as working with foreign students was a fun and sometimes challenging experience due to different views on subjects and sometimes language was an interesting barrier to overcome. I was also able to develop my public speaking skills and confidence when we gave presentations.
Other skills I have learnt from staying with other families have been independence, communication and the ability to adapt to new situations. I never thought I would learn so much from just living in a different home.
I became more confidence in public speaking and socialising with new people. I also enjoyed learning about the Spanish culture and how it differs to England.
I think I have developed skills in communication as well as leadership and social skills through meeting new people and working in groups.
I have also learnt how to communicate and engage with people who have different interests to me.
Confidence and leadership.
I have developed my ability to speak to people I have never met before.
I developed my social and confidence skills and think I adapted well into staying in another country.

6% is recycled in Spain. Statutes and what they were. Time bank and how it worked in some areas with certain age groups, but would not be practical in our school.

I’ve learnt about everyday ways of being sustainable and how to improve my carbon footprint. I’ve also witnessed my teachers and others using the techniques in lessons.

I have learnt lots about the different recycling systems around Europe and their political systems which was very interesting.

I have learnt lots about starting a business and how it works and feel much more confident in the topic. I have also been introduced to many new resources and have seen the teachers use many. On the topics of recycling and renewable energy I have found out a lot about our school and home energy consumption and how to lower it.

What are statutes and their meaning. We all learnt about time banks and what they involve.

On this project I have learnt more about entrepreneurship and I have learnt about ways in which our schools can become more environmentally friendly through energy efficiency and recycling. I have also learnt about a time bank.
I have learnt how to be more efficient with energy.
I have learnt more on creating a company and renewable energy.
I have learnt more about hydro-electric power.
I learnt about other countries and their recycling systems, and their entrepreneurial ideas. It was very interesting and eye opening.

It is very fulfilling to meet people – that is what I have found the best.
Erasmus is a really beneficial project for people who want to learn about current global issues and for people who want to meet new people and make new friends.
My general impression is that the project is a great opportunity for international student’s to meet, make friends and find out about new methods of sustainability and entrepreneurism around Europe.
I think the project is great for students to connect with others and learn about new topics.
The Erasmus project is extremely welcoming and educational. I met some amazing new friends and had some fantastic experiences. Both educational and social.
My general impression is that it is a fantastic project and a great opportunity to meet new people and learn about sustainability.
My impression of the project is that it has improved my confidence and allowed me to meet lots of great people.
My impression on the project is that it’s fun and enjoyable. Also nice to meet new people.
This project is very fun and I enjoy meeting new people.
It is a good idea, it’s a good way to connect people across the world.

More time shared together with the entire Erasmus group and not only with your host and you. A bit more interaction between students from different countries.

# data[].attributes.body
Best: meeting new people, going to new countries.
Worst: not enough time in new countries :D + lack of planning/informing in some cases

It's been really nice to learn from other cultures and show them our culture.

# data[].attributes.body
I've learnt to understand other cultures better and that you can do many things differently than what you've got used to. Of course the project helped me to develop my English and speaking skills.

# data[].attributes.body
The project has made me understand how important recycling really is. Before the project I knew that we all should recycle but I didn't know how big the consequences are if you don't or do recycle. Also forming a mini company showed how many different things you have to take into account in order to found a successful company.

# data[].attributes.body
The project has been really interesting: we've got to know people from other cultures who have, for example, a different kind of school system. It's been nice to learn how same things can be done in many different ways with as good results.

# data[].attributes.body
A) I think this project is an amazing opportunity to become more international and learn more about other cultures.

B) I have learned how much work and planning and collaboration it takes to start and run a businnes. I have also learned how to recycle more efficiently than before.

C) Other skills that I have learned are team work, taking responsibility, being more tolerant and patient, considering others and also being more open.

D) Best in the project has definitely been meeting new people, spending time with them and getting to know them. The worst has perhaps been when team work hasn't worked that well and there has been some confusions about informing something.

E) I would try to avoid any confusions and be more responsible. And also have lots of fun. :)

# data[].attributes.body
More time to plan, getting to know one's exchange partner earlier beforehand. Making sure people communicate with each other and don't end up staying in their country groups.

The best aspect has been meeting new people and learning about their culteres, ie. making new friends. I've also enjoyed using and developing my language skills. The worst aspect has been, in some cases, lack of planning.

D) Best in the project has definitely been meeting new people, spending time with them and getting to know them. The worst has perhaps been when team work hasn't worked that well and there has been some confusions about informing something.

E) I would try to avoid any confusions and be more responsible. And also have lots of fun. :)

Penso che l'Erasmus sia un progetto fantastico, che ti permette di aprire gli occhi riguardo il mondo moderno, società contemporanea e culture estere. Grazie a questo progetto ho imparato moltissime cose riguardo il riciclo, l'energia rinnovabile e cosa possiamo fare per cambiare in meglio il mondo. Questo progetto è stato molto utile per poter confrontare le mie capacità comunicative con gli altri e non solo; infatti insieme agli altri ragazzi di nazionalità diverse abbiamo sviluppato idee per poter costruire nuove aziende e magari ciò un giorno potrà diventare realtà. Devo dire che, pur essendo la mia prima esperienza, mi sono trovata molto bene sia con la mia corrispondente sia con la scuola e ho fatto amicizia con molte persone e con alcune di queste sono ancora in contatto.
Inoltre, alla fine di questa esperienza mi sono resa conto da sola di aver migliorato molto non solo le mie conoscenze riguardo il lessico inglese ma anche la fluidità, infatti prima per me era più difficile esprimere un concetto specifico in inglese rispetto ad ora. Penso che la migliore cosa di questo progetto sia la possibilità di poter conoscere una cultura straniera e invece la parte peggiore è l'organizzazione dei voli, infatti (non è stato il mio caso per fortuna) alcuni ragazzi sono partiti/arrivati un giorno prima/dopo rispetto agli altri e questo toglie la possibilità di poter imparare alcune cose, dato che i giorni effettivi dell'Erasmus sono 5.
In questo momento non mi viene niente in mente su come poter migliorare il progetto, spero soltanto che dall'anno prossimo ci saranno molti più posti per dare questa opportunità a più persone.

a) What is your general impression of the project?
It was an amazing experience, where I was able to know new countries, new cultures and new people.

b) What have you learnt about the topics of this project? (e.g. Improving the teaching learning process, recycling, renewable energy, energetic efficiency, creation of a mini company, time bank,…)
I’ve learnt how much the recycling is important and how we can create a new mini company with our own ideas.

c) Write about other benefits or skills you may have developed as leadership, social and emotional living with foreign students and families, teamwork, foreign language, communication or public speaking, problem-solving, adaptability,…
I’ve improved my speaking skills and I’ve learnt how to communicate with foreign people.

d) What have been the best and the worst aspects of the project?
The best aspects of this experience were: knowing new people, new places and learning something new about how to live better with our planet;
I think that there weren’t worst aspects of the project, but it should be a little bit longer, so as to settle in the place and with the people who are around us.

e) What would you do to improve the project next year?
I’ll work more with the international groups and I’ll try to make feel them at ease at school and out of the school.

Il progetto Erasmus, a cui ho partecipato e partecipo tuttora, è stata una delle più grandi opportunità della mia carriera scolastica e della mia vita in generale. Prima di tutto, avendo aderito al progetto, ho avuto modo di aumentare la mia conoscenza sull’inquinamento e il riciclo e comprendere l’effetto che anche un’azione quotidiana e banale, ai nostri occhi, può comportare all’ambiente che ci circonda. Mi sono ritrovata ad affrontare tematiche e situazioni appartenenti a un mondo a me sconosciuto- quale, ad esempio, quello dell’imprenditoria o dell’ideazione di un impiego di energia rinnovabile. Tutto questo  ha certamente accresciuto in me una certa consapevolezza del mondo reale, che va oltre la vita scolastica quotidiana, e mi ha dato modo di consolidare le basi per essere capace, un giorno, di affrontare una vita lavorativa. Oltre a ciò il progetto ha portato in me una maturazione dal punto di vista personale e culturale. Ho imparato infatti a saper contare su me stessa e sulle mie capacità e a non sottovalutarmi, a saper affrontare alcune difficoltà per superarle e a essere capace di lavorare all’interno di un gruppo, rispettando e apprezzando i compagni e le loro idee. Certamente lavorare e vivere a stretto contatto con coetanei di paesi e culture differenti è stato uno degli aspetti che più ho apprezzato del progetto. Questo mi ha permesso di allargare i miei orizzonti e di acquisire una maggiore apertura culturale: infatti non solo ho migliorato il mio livello linguistico di inglese ma ho avuto la possibilità di vivere delle esperienze uniche con persone differenti per cultura, lingua, tradizioni e abitudini. Certamente l’aspetto che ho preferito è stato il poter essere ospitata da una ragazza straniera poiché questo mi ha permesso di vivere a pieno la sua quotidianità e poter quindi comprendere al meglio la sua cultura. L’unico aspetto “negativo” del progetto, a mio parere, è il fatto che questo non sia aperto alle intere classi ma solo a pochi. Ritengo infatti che potrebbe essere possibile far partecipare le intere classi al progetto ,facendo versare a noi alunni anche una piccola somma di denaro, e permettendo quindi a tutti di poter vivere questa incredibile esperienza.

a) La mia impressione generale del progetto è stata emozionante, perché ha permesso di socializzare con alunni di altre classi e anche con studenti stranieri e abbiamo imparato a rispettare l'ambiente.
b) Ho imparato che tutti nel nostro piccolo, anche solo accendendo la luce contribuiamo a inquinare l'ambiente e che se ognuno facesse del suo meglio per rispettarlo si vivrebbe meglio
d) L'aspetto migliore del progetto è secondo me la socializzazione che aiuta soprattutto le persone timide come me. Finora devo dire che non ho notato punti deboli.
e) Il prossimo anno per migliorare ancora di più il progetto credo che sia sufficiente accogliere al meglio i ragazzi stranieri nella nostra scuola

# data[].attributes.body
a) La mia impressione generale del progetto è decisamente positiva poiché ci forma al fine di rispettare l’ambiente e trovare nuovi metodi per realizzare il nostro obiettivo.
b) Ho imparato che esistono vari modi per rispettare l’ambiente creando nuovi modi per riciclare il materiale inquinante, ad esempio, come abbiamo visto alla conferenza con l’artista italiana Maria Cristina Finucci, fondatrice del Garbage Patch State.
c) Il progetto ci permette di essere autonomi nel modo di fare e di pensare, sia per quanto riguarda noi stessi che per quanto riguarda il relazionarsi con persone che non fanno parte della nostra quotidianità e che hanno una cultura differente. Inoltre questo ci permette di conoscere diverse culture e parlare una lingua straniera al di fuori del contesto scolastico facendo così in modo che possiamo conoscere la lingua sotto tutti i suoi aspetti.
d) Lo sviluppo della consapevolezza dell’inquinamento che sta rovinando il nostro pianeta rientra sicuramente negli aspetti positivi del progetto. Inoltre questo, come già detto, ci insegna a pensare e ci rende consapevoli di ciò che facciamo nei confronti del nostro pianeta.
e) Il progetto potrebbe essere migliorato sperimentando diversi metodi di riciclaggio il prossimo anno.

a) What is your general impression of the project? This project is very useful and beautiful. It's able to introduce you to different ways of "doing " , but at the same time is the best way to learn a foreign language and for " clash " with people from profoundly different ways and deal with them and learning a lot about other cultures.
b) What have you learnt about the topics of this project? Improving the teaching learning process, recycling, renewable energy, energetic efficiency, creation of a mini company, time bank,…
c)  //
d) What have been the best and the worst aspects of the project?  The best aspect is that we can learn a lot of other culture and also the teaching learning process. The worst is that we travel at different times.
e) What would you do to improve the project next year? Involved, as well as students interested in the project , also the school.

1- This project was really fun and enjoyable, even if we all had to do a lot of work sometimes; I am very happy that I chose to participate!
2- I have learnt a lot of new things during this project, such as improving my recycling and knowledge about entrepreneurship. I think that these topics are just too important nowadays.
3- Other skills I have developed are leadership for sure and teamwork. I didn't even know that I was able to express my ideas in a different Language and in front of a public.
4- Everything was great but I am sure that the meetings could have been better organized.
5- As I have already said everything was fine, but maybe next time I would prefer less meetings (and more organized ones) and maybe more work at home if needed.

Il progetto è ben strutturato, le attività proposte sono molto interessanti, ed è molto bello conoscere nuova gente proveniente da diversi paesi europei.

2: Personalmente ho imparato moltissime cose! In Spagna siamo andati in un'azienda dove venivano riciclati oggetti elettronici, che utilizziamo tutti quotidianamente. Per quanto riguarda le nuove fonti di energia, abbiamo visitato una centrale idroelettrica, dove, per sommi capi, ci hanno spiegato un po' come veniva prodotta energia tramite l'utilizzo dell'acqua. Le miny company hanno aiutato tutti i ragazzi che partecipano al progetto, a capire come si ci muove nel mondo dell'imprenditoria.

3: Il primo giorno trascorso in famiglia e soprattutto con il tuo 'gemello' è molto strano. Non ti senti a tuo agio perchè sei in un'altra famiglia, persone nuove che ti osservano e cercano di farti sentire a casa, non puoi parlare nella tua lingua, perchè nessuno ti capisce e quindi devi necessariamente parlare in inglese. Parlare per 5 giorni in inglese, o comunque una lingua diversa dalla tua, è utilissimo. Da questo punto di vista è stato un bene parlare in inglese, perchè dopo pochi giorni ti senti più sicuro e soprattutto più sciolto. Stare 5 giorni lontana da casa è strano, ma in fin dei conti, ti aiuta anche ad acquisire una certa indipendenza e responsabilità verso la tua stessa persona. Parlare in pubblico o con persone che non conoscevo, prima di questa esperienza era un trauma! Adesso sono più sicura di me e non mi interessa molto se commetto qualche errore quando parlo in inglese, perchè ormai ho una certa padronanza della lingua.

4: Il miglior aspetto del progetto è che puoi conoscere nuove persone, imparare anche nuove lingue, capire un po' quali sono gli usi e i costumi delle diverse nazioni. L'aspetto peggiore è che la durata del progetto è troppo breve. Se durasse più di 5 giorni sarebbe meglio, perchè in 5 giorni non riesci a conoscere le persone che ti circondano.

5: Per  migliorare il progetto credo che si debbano fare più attività, più gite, magari che durino poco, e poi avere più tempo per discutere nei gruppi internazionali.

a) Il progetto mi è piaciuto, ha rispettato le aspettative che mi ero costruita quando ne sono venuta a conoscenza.
b) Il progetto ha sicuramente stimolato il mio interesse verso questi temi e, soprattutto per quanto riguarda la creazione della compagnia, mi ha fatto concretamente scoprire aspetti dell'organizzazione che prima non tenevo in considerazione.
c) Non essendo ancora partita e non avendo ricevuto a casa il mio twin, non posso rispondere con cognizione di causa, ma mi auguro che quest'esperienza mi aiuti a mettere in campo nel modo più costruttivo possibile le mie conoscenze della lingua in modo che io possa acquisire sicurezza maggiore e spero di riuscire ad adattarmi in un contesto inizialmente non familiare.
d) L'aspetto più positivo è costituito dall'opportunità che ci viene data di poter andare fuori dal contesto familiare e scolastico e fare sicuramente esperienza sotto molti punti di vista, nonostante avrei preferito condividere il viaggio con i miei compagni di classe. Di contro, però, capisco che anche questo fa parte del dover fare esperienza di cui ho scritto prima.
e) Al momento non ho suggerimenti.

I think that was interesting and educational experience that allowed me to learn about new aspects of the region in which I live, and in what year I was able to visit.
I learned how the recycling and the creation of enterprises and other things. I think the only worst aspect of the project was to have a few meetings.
To improve the project I would recommend, as I said before, adding other meeting and increase the weeks abroad.

# data[].attributes.body
a)  I think that the project can be useful for change the bad habits that negatively affect adversely. Also It's a way to approaching with another culture and to confront in another language with guys of your school that maybe you don't know
b)  I learnt to cooperate, what is really recycling, how It creates a company, but above all what you can do with the energy
c)  Communicate and work in the family and in class I think It served to all. It's a way to go out themselvesor otherwise set goals. The most exciting thing of this experience, means specially abroad, It's to work in internetional group
d)  The best is the improvement of English language, the worst were few meetings during the school year and also that the stay in the foreign country was a single week
e)  Maybe a thing that I would improve is the organization of activities in the classroom, for example more interactive maps

Sinceramente penso che il progetto in sé sia molto interessante ma organizzato in modo strano. Non capisco l'impresa simulata e il suo scopo: se l'obiettivo principale è l'inquinamento e il riciclo sarebbe meglio un riscontro pratico piuttosto che in linee generali. E' stato interessante l'incontro con Maria Cristina Finucci all'Università: mi è piaciuto come ha trasformato dei semplici tappi di bottiglia, destinati in qualche modo a non essere utilizzati, in arte. Tuttavia, per quanto già io abbia aumentato le mie conoscenze della lingua inglese grazie ai corsi pomeridiani, devo dire che l'idea dell'impresa simulata è stata utile per parlare (anche se, per me, non c'è stata realmente l'occasione dato che sono rimasta a casa con le placche alla gola, per quanto non lo si possa credere). Quindi, per concludere, il progetto può avere dei lati positivi in più rispetto a quelli negativi, come ad esempio l'applicazione pratica del riciclaggio, anche nel nostro piccolo. Ricordiamo i contenitori di cartone che ogni classe doveva realizzare per riciclare la carta? Non vi era forse anche un premio finale per il cartone più bello? Anche questo "improving" psicologico renderebbe ancora più emozionante l'esperienza. Spero solo che la mia gemella possa divertirsi a Palermo e non annoiarsi.
Cordiali saluti,

La mia impressione generale del progetto è positiva sebbene io non sia ancora partita per il paese straniero assegnato nè abbia ricevuto l'ospite. L'idea del progetto è sicuramente bellissima ma sarebbe stata ancora più bella se ci fosse stata la possibilità di coinvolgere più ragazzi e farlo in minor tempo. Credo infatti che sarebbe stato meglio se ci fosse stato meno stacco di tempo fra un viaggio e l' altro in modo che le esperienze di tutti sarebbero state condivise meglio. Sicuramente il filo conduttore del progetto è stato ampiamente trattato e si è dedicato abbastanza spazio a parlare di nuovi modi di riciclare rifiuti e energia ed ho acquisito maggiore consapevolezza delle tematiche ambientali. Purtroppo non posso ancora dire di aver migliorato il mio inglese o le mie abilità nel parlare in pubblico e con persone straniere perchè non ho ancora effettuato il viaggio. Mi piacerebbe che si migliorasse un po' la comunicazione in modo che tutti a livello dell'istituto siano partecipi visto che  molti non sanno nemmeno dell'esistenza del progetto.

I had a good impression on the project, because thanks to that I have learnt much things about topics: I didn't know Italy is fortfront to complete  intregation  of students but also our school  is not so much green and eco-friendly refleting the student population. I think that I have devolped skills like problemolving and adptability and now I know to work in a team, thanks to project I get better in English. The best aspect is teamworking with people who I don't knew.Sorry but i don't have tips for next year and I didn't look worst aspects.

# data[].attributes.body
a) In general, if I had to find three adjectives to define my own experience with the project, I would say: instructive (for what it concerns the learning expect about recycling and saving energy), funny (I had great time working in group with the other Italian guys preparing before the week abroad),  moving (it was amazing to meet other teenager from all over Europe which have become great friends).
b) I have deepen my own knowledge on all of these topics but I have mostly learnt that even my single behavior, if it is aware and scrupulous, can make the difference in the environments that I live in (my home, my school, my city): I have started giving more importance to the recycling process, I pay now more attention at saving energy and I also try to sensitize other people, starting from my family.
c) I also found very useful the relating, communicating and sharing expect of the project: it helped me to become more selfconfident and open-minded.
d) The thing I liked most was spending a week in a foreign family in direct contact with their culture and customs, on the contrary I got quite board with the theory classes in the Finnish school, of course they were interesting but I think it would have been better to put what we had learnt in practice.
e) Personally I’ll put all of myself in making the stage in Palermo both funny and instructive trying to create an atmosphere of sharing-ideas.

è stata un'esperienza senza dubbio positiva, un progetto interessante che mi ha permesso di imparare nuove cose in vari ambiti: nuovi metodi di riciclaggio dei rifiuti, come calcolare il carbon footprint e il consumo energetico, la nascita del Garbage Patch State ma anche la figura degli alunni BES e DSA e l'organizzazione del Parlamento italiano.
Il progetto mi ha inoltre dato l'opportunità di svolgere lavori "grafici" (il calendario, il fumetto sul tema dell'ambiente), sfruttando una mia grande passione: il disegno. Attraverso queste attività ho spesso lavorato in gruppo, e dunque ho potuto fare nuove conoscenze con alunni di altri classi.
Quelli appena elencati sono gli aspetti positivi, non ne ho riscontrato di negativi, tuttavia suggerirei soltanto di distribuire più omogeneamente le attività in modo da rendere tutti partecipi allo stesso modo.
