SEPS + EPIE
SEPS about Sustainability for European Primary Schools – SEPS is a child friendly project about sustainability for European primary schools and EPIE is an European project for Primary schools about Inclusive Education.
This bulletin brings messages for all our partner school pupils, parents and teachers.
Dear students and colleagues from the schools who are interested and who already participate in our project on inclusion and sustainability.
Student exchange in Steinheid.
Last week there was a student exchange with the Staatliche Grundschule in Steinheid.
The team, parents and students led by director Gunter Wild have set up an excellent program and have done their utmost to ensure that the guests from Malta, Spain, France and the Netherlands have a great time.
You can read more about this later on our website when the participants publish their reports.
Survey.
All participating schools must complete a survey about their visit. They receive this when their visit is registered via the Beneficiary Module. This does not take much time.
Upcoming exchanges:
In week 10 from March 4, the visit to Braga is planned, in week 15 students will go to Alpedrete, week 17 on April 21 the students will go to Kolindros and in week 20 on May 13, students and teachers will come to the Netherlands in Houten for the last trip this school year.
About contact with guest pupils and host parents.
Prior to the visit, the teachers of the visiting school send a form in which the host parents are informed about their guest students. It is preferred to make it digital, not handwritten.
It has been agreed with all participating schools that they will have extensive consultation with host families about the children in their care for a week. The host parents are also requested to contact the parents of the children after they have received the student’s information. That is why an email address of the parents is also mentioned. In special situations, the teachers of the visiting children are also expected to contact the host parents.
It has also been agreed that the children can call their parents before dinner. This generally works fine. It goes without saying that every school has agreements about the use of mobile phones, in fact they are mainly used for taking photos and as a translation machine.
Our website.
It would be appreciated that all teachers, parents and other interested parties are informed of our Website and Bulletins, as it is our task according to the Grant to share information (dissidence obligation) about our project.
Our website now also contains some video clips of activities at our partner schools. Unfortunately, it took a while before this could be technically realized. With the help of Tomash and Eva, some more clips can now be presented. It’s worth checking them out. Send the video recording to to Diana Brouwer and Anton Verwey.
A small request.
A small request to visiting teachers for job shadowing: contact the school you are visiting at an early stage.
This of course also applies to visits with students. This allows the host schools to prepare to find host schools and suitable hotels or B&BS.
Request information.
If you would like more information about our project, please look at our website or contact your coordinator at your own school. A look at the previously published four Bulletins can also be revealing.
We wish everybody nice experiences wish all the coming traveling’s and the information out it.
