level: Knowledge about different countries, school questionnaires, contact with
students via Internet, traditional games ... § Integration at the level of
disability: Adapted games, relevant disabled athletes, European sport day... § Integration at gender level: We
start now to work this section.
- Tasks to be performed within the
project schedule: § Each partner country of the
project should conduct a sports event in collaboration with an NGO or
Association of people with disabilities in a local or regional level in each
partner country of the project.(In Cyprus, if Stelios get contact with Special
Olympics, we could make a global event project).It would be ideal if our students could
take part in the organization and development of the event. § To create in each school one or
more co-educational games, in which the rules promote equality and non-discrimination
between genders.
- Tasks suggested by project partners to
carry out the next year of the project (both have been received very well by
the other partners, supporting their realization): § Spain: Make a music video editing, in
which, through a definite rhythm,
Each country should create a
choreography with corporal percussion, according to a musical base that the
Spanish team is going to sent you before the end of the school year. All the countries
would participate in the project, plus the other Comenius project countrieswe conducted in Spain, plus African partners from an e-Twinning
project that is being developed in our school. §Portugal: We propose to analyze the organization of the educational system of
each country.They´ll send attached
the application form with the information needed.

November 2012.
- EVALUATION: We must receive the evaluation information of the project
by agencies, if not change the format from previous years, there will be a
common part that makes Spain as coordinator, and one specific to be completed
by each center. Also, as
coordinators, we intend to make a small improvement project questionnaire,
waiting assessing achievements and contributions of new ideas and / or
activities.
- REMINDERS
§It is recalled that Norway should make the questionnaire asked for the first meeting in
Latvia, is one of the most relevant.Similarly,
although they did at the meeting that took place in May the European sport day,
they should provide at least 2 adapted games to the project.In both Spain and Latvia were exhibited some
adapted and integrators games, which are very important to the bank of
resources, priority objective of the project. § All partners: we must collect
the games and activities carried out during the two years in order to create a
resource bank for integration through physical education, will match the
co-educational games that have been screened at the meeting. § All partners are invited to
suggest ideas, promoting new activities, make bilateral cooperation, including
exchanges, etc. § Remember that our project has
been selected to attend a conference in Brussels where we were shown an example
of good practices to promote the integration at school. The information has been sent by e-mail.

We have also made the last visit of the first year of the project to Norway in the town of Rena. We have reviewed the recent work and prepared the program that runs until the end of the course until the following working visit to be held from 7 to 10 November 2012 in Cyprus.By now you must have performed a sporting event - with an NGO or educational asoación working with disability and social integration at the local or regional, and elementary students will have to invent, in the course of EF and citizenship, a sports in which it promotes gender equality.
Nuestra colega Montse, en su primer viaje de proyecto comenius, ha realizado un artículo sobre sus impresiones y sensaciones con la nueva experiencia que ha tenido a nivel profesional y personal.
We received in our center these days the visit of friends from Norway, in a Comenius project we have in school.
Have been conducting educational and cultural activities for a week ... within the work they have done we have recorded a series of programs of short interviews where we were told, in English, sensations, feelings and experiences that the exchange had. Of course not in vain, our students, now in 4th of ESO, had visited Norway last year.
Last Thursday 22nd March, The Antonio Gala School celebrated the European Sport Day as part of the Comenius Project: Integration and Equality in the field of PE by means of game, sport and physical activity.
The Portuguese School, which is involved in the project too, was invited to the event. They came by bus from Tavira with some Secondary School students. Our school took part with students from the third level of Primary School and the Secondary School students. All the Secondary students, Portuguese and Spanish, were mixed into different country groups. They wore flag sticks to identify themselves.
The event carried out in the Manuel Utrilla Stadium, in Dos Hermanas, facilities provided by the City Council. Our school showed a lot of different traditional games from the different nationalities which belong to this project: Latvia, Bulgaria, Norway, Cyprus, Portugal and Spain. We showed several adapted games and sports to support the project which we are working for. We organized a total number of 12 stages where the groups were passing. In each stage there were a Spanish student explaining in English the game to the participants.
The morning passed successfully and we got our mains goals: the students enjoyed a lot, they could learn traditional games from others European countries, they practiced a little English and they interacted with new students through the game and physical activity.
Of course, none of these would have been possible without the help of the students of the 4th level from Antonio Gala School, which learnt the procedure of the different games in order to explain them to the groups.
We hope all the students from Portugal and Spain have enjoyed and they have profited from this day.
