My learning diary "Coaching, leadership and motivation", Rome 18.2. - 22.2.2019. by Željka Winkler https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1 Erasmus K1 "The Growth Mindset" en-us 2019-02-20 20:39:48 UTC 2025-11-06 10:47:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Shakinghands.png Sightseeing in Rome winklerica https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/333391182 Sunday was a day for sightseeing and Rome is famous for numerous landmarks.
The Colosseum or Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre  is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of travertine, tuff, and brick-faced concrete, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasianin AD 72, and was completed in AD 80 under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96).These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles (for only a short time as the hypogeum was soon filled in with mechanisms to support the other activities), animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Although partially ruined because of damage caused by earthquakes and stone-robbers, the Colosseum is still an iconicsymbol of Imperial Rome and is listed as one of the New7Wonders of the World. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and also has links to the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession that starts in the area around the Colosseum.
The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin.

BIO stands for BEHAVIOUR (specific and objective), IMPACT (subjective, feelings) and OPPORTUNITY (real and no judgment). That means when we have to give feedback it has to be about situation which is objecitive and specific. We need to say it in a way "I noticed or I was surprised.." and then we offer our feedback, suggestion like "a present" or opportinity for the person we are referirng to. winklerica https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334239264 2019-02-22 17:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334239264 Vatican winklerica https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334241988 At the afternoon I visited the Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican. ]]> 2019-02-22 17:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334241988 The title of today's lesson was "Motivation".

It's the model we can use either in the classroom or in our private life. G (goal), R (reality), O (options), W (way forward). When somebody had sa problem or dilemma we can use this model, by asking specific goal someone wants to reach, what is the current reality, what are options and how we can see improovment (way forward). After the theory was explaind we had workshop and Virpi volonteered to be a coach to our teacher Loris. winklerica https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334270987 2019-02-22 18:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334270987 European networking winklerica https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334273596 After school we enjoyed excelent italian food and wine and making friendships. ]]> 2019-02-22 18:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334273596 Pizza winklerica https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334275152 While going around we just grabbed slice of pizza and enjoyed italian style of eating it in the open.]]> 2019-02-22 18:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334275152 Erasmus K1 meets Erasmus K2 project winklerica https://padlet.com/winklerica/cllf6ur4r6f1/wish/334276107 Erasmus K1 "The Growth Mindset" meets Erasmus K2 "History and its effect on youth today".
