How to inform the school-community about the project and our meeting

Summary of the feed-back-café
We can inform our school with showing photos. For example one can make a special corner where we can put all the photos of the visit and perhaps some posters too. A power-point presentation can also be presented.
One can also organize a meeting where the pupils and teachers come together and the pupils concerned can report on their experience, show photos, perhaps present their diary.
If a school has a school newspaper one can write an article about the meeting.
In addition there is a possibility to put the photos, videos and texts in the internet, e.g. in the “Comenius Blog”.
Of course we have to tell our friends all about the trip and show pictures and videos.

The presentations of the project results









Summary of the feed-back-café
There are some good aspects, but also some negative ones, which the students have mentioned. I begin with the good ones.
All students liked the presentations, they were good, impressive, creative, exciting and with lots of decoration (especially Hungary and Italy). Another point which left a good aftertaste was the food. It tasted delicious, but sometimes a little bit strange.
The students gave their presentations in the form of posters, DVDs, power-point-presentations, films and pictures. The students who presented their works were very friendly, and all questions you asked were answered. All in all the presentations were well received.
But there are also some aspects, the students disliked, for example the organisation. It was confusing because in some rooms there were too many people and in other rooms there weren’t any. Perhaps the next meeting could have one separate room for every presentation. Because the students mentioned that the idea of walking around to every group is a good idea.
For the presenting pupils it’s boring to go through the presentation for four times. That’s perhaps the reason why it’s difficult to understand them because they talk so fast. It’s a pity that in some presentation they didn’t say anything at all.
Some students regret that these days are too short to get to know the other students and their cultures.
In a nutshell all pupils liked the presentations and the idea behind them, but the meeting could be still better if there was another concept to show and look at the presentations.

The Hungarian school and school life


Summary of the Feed-back-café
The school is different of the schools we have in our countries. First of all, it’s very big and even has two buildings with three departments: music, art and dance. But that makes the school interesting as well as the students, they are all very talented and hardworking and it seems that this school teaches a really high level. Because of the huge size of the school there are many (colourful) corridors and sometimes we didn’t know where to go… The bigger building of the school is really beautiful and we really liked being there.
