We continued working on our project. I wrote a diary about the transnational meeting

in Wavre that is uploaded in ETwinning.net

After coming back Belgium , we wrote our opinions about the meeting ,sent to Martine

for the loading on the web site.

We contacted the agency for the shuttle from and to Rosolini/Catania airport for

welcoming our host in the best way.

Meantime we booked the hotel in Rosolini “The Terminal”.We are looking forward to

receiving you in Rosolini in January.

Meeting with my students and their parents for the matching and the organization of

Each one has to fill the profile form and send it to their partners, it is a chance to

know each other and break the ice.

As proposed by partners,we have the movie maker: He is going to help us acquire

the skill of shotting a video-documentary. He is taking 4 hour lessons in Rosolini.

Team activity at school with my 20 students working : find the definition in dictionary

and in italian vocabulary about some words dealing with Migration.

(I prepared the words list)

Upload the definition in Etwinning.net where they all have been invited.

I am having difficulty in the matching because more of my students are female so I

have to ask my collegues partners their opinion about possible sex mix.

What the teams did in November and December?

During the open day we presented our Erasmus+ Project in Rosolini and we decided to

realize a CLIL about that topic with more classes.

One of my student is collecting many newspapers because we are going to use them at

school during the exchange week in Rosolini from 29th January to 5 th February 2017

Hospitality day

We presented the project to

the 10th, 11th and 12th gra-

ders and school community.

Selection of students and

teachers to participate in the

project was made: a group to

work in the web page (3) and

a group to participate and tra-

vel to Sicily. (6)

A group of 10 th graders who

study Arts and Crafts partici-

pated in the “logo design

competition”. The project was

presented to these students

and, together with their

teacher, learnt to do a logo.

Some logos were produced

and sent, although none of

our logos was chosen. See

Picture.

In November-December 2016

we attended the 1st transna-

tional Meeting in Wavre, Bel-

gium. The web page started

and users and logos were as-

signed. The project was ofic-

cially started.

11th graders were presented

the activity of translating arti-

cles (in our case, from Spa-

nish and Catalan newspa-

pers) related to the topic of

migration and refugees.

A group of students from 10th

grade has started investigating

the topic of the Spanish Southern

border (and wall): Ceuta.

A group of students from 10th

grade has started investigating

about the origins of their families,

trying to prove that “we all have

moved from somewhere and

been accepted somewhere else”.

Research has been started on

Spanish brain drain (12th grade).

A presentation could be made in

Barcelona 2017 about this topic.

Hospitality campain was started in

the school, in relation to Christ-

mas celebration. The students

were asked what

“hospitality”means to them and

school was decorated with these

sentences. See Picture. (1)

12th graders were given a confe-

rence/lecture by Jordi Martínez, a

Hospitality day

What happened in Wavre ? October Selection of the pupils who will become members of the cell "Migration Website Team" Organization of the logo contest Tuesday the 25 th : To start the project, special day "Refugees": 180 pupils aged 14 to 16 go to LLN, the student city close to Wavre, for a private screening at the cinema. The magnificent Italian documentary movie "Fuocoammare" allows us to become aware of what live the refugees who try to join Europe by crossing the Mediterranean Sea. After the movie, by solidarity with the refugees, 180 pupils return on foot to school (12 km). On the route some concrete situations (simulations) allow the pupils to put themselves in the skin of a refugee (identity check, medical inspection, encounter with hostile people). November-December 28/11 – 2/12 : first transational meeting in Wavre 6 belgian students (Migration Website Team) and 12 students from Germany, Poland, Spain and Italy have a training for website management 10 teachers have their first coordination meeting for the project Last day : visit of Brussels

December On the 6

th of December, a lecture took place at school. It was a first meeting and a first concrete

confrontation with the problem of migration. The audience was composed of 110 pupils of 14, 15 years old. Among the contributors, there was first a Guinean man who explained the reasons why he had left his country, the various episodes of his migration via Greece and his life in Belgium. There was also a young Afghan man of 17 who had come to Belgium without his parents or family and who was taken care of by social services in the region; We could also listen to a Belgian teacher and photographer who had been a witness of the ‘jungle of Calais’ and who gave us a descrip-tion of what he had seen there, the people he had met and the consequences of the dismantling of this camp. Finally a woman, member of the association ‘Médecins du Monde’ (Doctors of the World) gave us some details about the aims of this organisation and the concrete actions they carry out in refugees camps in Greece and other countries. 12-13 of December , 300 students (aged 12 to 13) made the flag of the country of which they are native (or their ascendants) and were photographed, two by two, to make a big mosaic of photos which will soon decorate the hall of the school.
