Today we saw that you begin working on a project a long time before its actual start. Inspiration and personal motivation come first, but many other steps can prepare the way to an international project. Among these what struck me is the time you need to be sure, safe, and confident about project partners. Even though you are prepared to invest and engage a considerable amount of your professional time on a project, you won't want to waste time or have to do another 's task.
On another scale that also counts for your school internal projects and at students' level. And that's what I am reflecting on. I have been a project coordinator for my school on many occasions and I think I have done a good job, but I have rarely emphasized this practice when teaching group work. And I guess this is a lesson worth learning and passing on to students as part of methodology and soft skills.

Today we had a perfect example of cooperative learning. We put our various skills into play and I learned so much from my colleagues' activities and I admired the precision, organization and creativity of their methodologies which I will certainly implement in my daily teaching.

Sometimes I find it very difficult to plan an activity in all its phases and I always leave a certain amount of improvisation, but this can be fine for short-term activities concerning a single subject or a single class but when the project is wider and it involves several classes or the whole school or several schools or even several countries, as in our case, precise and detailed planning is absolutely necessary and to do this we need a team made up of people who have different skills and in different fields.

Today's presentation of the projects was very interesting. The way in which the members of the Erasmus Group handled the issues that concerned them was extremely good. I personally got several ideas that I would like to implement in my own school. Finally I should point out that as the days go by we get to know each other better.

Being in charge of the Erasmus+ programmes of the school is a lot of the time red-tape, bureaucracy and stress, the rest being fun and creativity.
With today's discussion I think I can plan better.
Also, I met beautiful people, colleagues from our broad family, Europe and I collected so many ideas, concepts and inspiration.
I big thank you to you all from my heart. Our little school at the nice seaside town of Volos remains open to all types of cooperation.

For me, this day was very significant as it was the end of an interesting journey regarding "A Classroom with a door to the world". Today I learned about many interesting ways of implementing key competences in connection with schools from other countries. I will certainly implement some of these ideas in my teaching. I also found the educational visit at the end of our trip to the end of the world very appropriate and impressive.

The panorama-function of a smartphone is a great invention. You can catch more than your eyes are able to see. So it was with our presentaions of the key-competences. The views of all the collegues broadened our horizons until the end of the world.

Today i expanded my knowledge on the topic of key competencies, and got a lot of great ideas from other participants as well. Also i learned more on how to organize and manage international school projects, with emphasis on the object setting, collaboration with partners and using the etwinning platform.

Today I have learned that you could find for every place some activities to foster the key competences. I was really surprised by all the ideas.

Today I've learned that teachers' creativity Is endless and that' s the reason why every day we should do our best to provide our students innovative, engaging and effective activities in order to make them feel motivated to learn! I' m eager to put hands in some of the activities suggested in this great training course and set up them with my students.
Moreover I Will Foster some of my colleagues, more than ever, to use Etwinning, an extraordinary tool to find alliances, to share ideas and project and to create bridges among schools from all over the world! And everything starts from there....

Today we have learned a method to apply when we have to write a international project.
First of all we learned the importance of the community- students, teachers, parents-in the elaboration of good project, the importance of concrete objectives, the strategy, the plan of activities, the evaluation and the dissemination.
Furthermore we discussed about the keys competencies that the students have to learn in the school.

Today I acquired some basic information to write international school projects. Projects must have some fundamental characteristics. They have to be realistic, they have to have a purpose. Projects must promote a wide range of skills and competences for students and teachers.
