There was a video conference among the partner schools to plan the project activities, set goals and priorities for actions, agree on a plan for disseminating and evaluating project activities.
In an effort to foster international understanding and collaboration, Polish and Portuguese students participated in a vibrant video conference. This unique virtual gathering allowed students from both countries to connect and share insights about their lives and cultures. During the session, students presented themselves, introducing their interests and hobbies, which helped to break the ice and establish a friendly atmosphere. Each participant spoke about their families and the importance of family in their daily lives. Following these introductions, they engaged in discussions about their free time activities. As the conversation progressed, they discussed the topics related to Polish and Portuguese cultures. The exchange not only highlighted the similarities and differences between Polish and Portuguese cultures but also emphasized the value of learning from one another. The video conference not only served as a platform for language practice but also as an opportunity to develop friendships that could transcend borders.
Video Conference with students from Romania - developing language and digital competences
On February 7, grade 4 students had the opportunity to take part in a unique event - a videoconference with their peers from Romania, organized with the use of the Zoom platform. The aim of the meeting was not only to establish international contacts, but also to develop language skills and digital competences.
During the videoconference, students introduced themselves and talked about their interests and ways of spending their free time. The conversations were held in English, which was an excellent opportunity to practically apply the acquired knowledge in real communication situations. They also had the opportunity to ask questions to their Romanian peers, which helped build their freeness in using a foreign language.
Participation in the meeting contributed not only to the development of language competences, but also to broadening cultural horizons and building openness to other countries and their traditions. Additionally, students improved their ability to use ICT tools, such as Zoom - they learned how to log in to videoconferencing, use a microphone and camera, and efficiently manage program options.
The meeting took place in a nice and cordial atmosphere, and the students expressed their willingness to participate in further initiatives of this type.
ONLINE WORKSHOPS
CONDUCTED BY A SCIENTIST OF IPPT OF POLSKA AKADEMIA NAUK
Through online workshops conducted by Dr. Magdalena Osial, students can get better understanding the world of science. They have the chance to learn not just from textbooks but also through engaging activities that stimulate their curiosity. But the most important thing was the fact that students could notice that ICT tools facilitate learning process. These tools allow students to connect with scientific concepts in a way that traditional methods often cannot.
One of the highlights of Dr. Osial's workshops is that it was possible to see real-time experiments and laboratory work of scientists just sitting in the classroom. This experience breaks down the barriers of traditional learning, enabling students to witness the practical application of scientific theories. By observing scientists at work, students can relate what they learn in class to real-world scenarios, fostering a deeper appreciation for the subject.
