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. 

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.

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

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

 

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)

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!

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

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, …

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

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

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.)

 

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.

      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) /

      b) /

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

      d) the rubbish problem and it’s not solved

4   a) money 

      b) /

 

         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!!)

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.

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.

b)Improving the teaching-learning process:-different ways of teaching

recycling: - how things get recycled - how you can recycle things

renewable energy: -facts about their progress and what will be in the future
