Groups were formed according to the chart above.
As Germany and Northern Ireland are the only participants with younger students, they formed an e-mail project within the framework of eTwinning, the EU`s e-learning program. The suggestions for this project can be read in the attached document.
More schools want to join the project : One Turkish, two Bulgarian and one Romanian school want to apply for approval in the second year. The participants already in the project will accept this providing they do the work agreed upon at the meeting in Corsica and Strommen. They will be fully partners in the project, for the second year, if accepted by their national agency.
All information on candidating partners will be sent next week to all partners, sorry for delaying due to… Yves’ computer crash…
A Bosnian school wants to join as a silent partner, that is participating without any funds from the EU. The members who wants to may establish bilateral partnership with this school.
There are two official languages in the project; English and French : that means all official production must be written either in English or in French.
Each partner coordinator will propose the profiles and email addresses of the students to other partners in the project .
The application form for the second year will be prepared and coordinated by the teams in France, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Germany.
The outcome and the students` work will be presented on a web-site set up for the project. Mark Winning/Northern Ireland volunteered to set up and coordinate the web-site.
