et produire une énergie durable
2020-2023


Energyplus QUINTESSENCE Erasmus+

My dear friends

I - It was said after the W2 Workshop's debates (in the "R1 reset meeting") that the deadline to check your local pedagogic plans would be very short... and fixed on the 8th of november. That is the reason why I am sending you today a form in wich you can enlist the topics you may/wish implement during the next 2 phases (theoretically, phase 1 must end in March, or later but as soon as you ll be able to come to France for C1 ; and phase 2 must end in August, after we came back from Romania for C2 and R2 in May and June). .

PLEASE COMPLETE IT AND MAIL IT ASAP!

   


II - Even if the situation remains complicated, especially in the eastern part of Europe, and could badly impact our schedule, I think we must pretend we have no doubt about our capacity to follow the plan, till before the N/A approves the request for an amendment we decided to ask for. But I am afraid our claim for an extension of the duration cannot be instructed before all the teams do sign the declaration of intention we have transmitted.



PLEASE FILL THE FORM (one colour for each country).

III – Next international note will be written: in order to ensure the Quality Control is coordinated and to implement our next remote Workshop. I understood (taking part in Riga brain storming) that you think the best choice to rally all the schools in the same time is to implement a videoconference on Friday, from 10:30 am to 12:10 or a little later (French time, so it means from 11 :30 to 13 : 10 for all of you). Another solution is maybe to organize it on Tuesday at the same time?

PLEASE CONFIRM YOU DO PREFER: FRIDAY DAY AS THE D DAY, BUT TELL US IF SOMETIMES TUESDAY COUD BE USED TOO. OR DEFINITIVELY NOT.


 


BEST REGARDS

My dear colleagues

Let's me first thank you to maintain all your engagement in this project, strongly impacted by the Pandemic. I have no doubt we can together overcome all the troubles in order to eventually implement all the activities and mobilities we want and I believe must be sincerely very grateful to Olga and Sanita for R1 organization (and kindness). Before I send to you in a couple of days the results of R1 meeting (new deadlines, online workshops' methodology and so on) I ask you to see by now the draft ot the complete report, to be edited very soon on NBE+ (http://nbeplus.franceserv.eu/eVeR1.html) and -it is probably the most important- I'd like you to check what I wrote in the mail to the Agency. As ir could be perhaps necessary to show a proof your headmaster/headmistress agree to ask for this extesnion of the duration and your school is ok to apply our new plan I will post tomorrow a letter from my boss to yours, in order to obtain they do sign a declaration of intention.

BEST REGARDS

MAIL TO THE AGENCY


REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
drafted within the framework of eVe + R1 mobility (debates during the W1 workshop and formalization during the final plenary meeting)
"Taking into account the indications given on the site (COVID 19 tab) and our previous emails on the subject, I have the honor to formulate today officially on behalf of the Lycée Ravel and its partners the request for an extension of 12 months of the duration of our Erasmus + project after discussing the issue with the foreign project leaders from October 13 to 16, 2021, within the framework of the transnational meeting R1 (Boot seminar turned into a Reset meeting) and defined with them a new timetable and an educational strategy adapted to the circumstances.
Our contract having been concluded in 2020 and for 24 months, originally: its term would become August 2023 and no longer 2022 (the interim report would be postponed from September 2021 to 2022) which seems to be in harmony with the Agency's recommendations. ("End date indicated in the grant agreement. Up to 12 additional months and without exceeding 31/08/2023").
Given that the pandemic and the health protection measures have severely impacted the program of activities planned for 2020-2021, but to the extent that cooperation has nevertheless been initiated (taking the form, in particular, of a virtual workshop in December 2020 ) we agreed on a new schedule.
The planned development does not consist of postponing to 2021-2022 the activities initially planned for 2020-2021 and the program for 2022-2023 (now the last year of the project) replaces that defined originally for the year. 2021-2022 while significantly deviating from it.
Indeed, a complete reorganization of activities appeared opportune.
1 °) The first educational phase, focusing on the study of the forces of nature around the question "Energies and Myths" was, according to our application, to last a full school year (online calendar in our coordination site Our Erasmus + office NBE + on http://nbeplus.franceserv.eu/EVEprefig.html#derou). This would mean reducing its implementation in the first semester of the current school year (considered as year 1 in view of the difficulties experienced in 2020-2021, considered as year 0). Consequently, the second educational phase (on the theme "Energies and industrialization") supposed to last one semester but to be located, initially, in year 2, would be brought forward from March to August 2022. The last phase, prospective ("Sustainable energies") would instead be lengthened to take place throughout school year 2.
2) The mobility (but also the intellectual outputs expected of the pupils) will be, in the hypothesis where our proposal is validated, all carried out in accordance with the predefined plan but according to a rhythm different from that fixed in the original project. Two study trips and two graphic novels will indeed be carried out in 2021-2022, then a final study trip and a third production (conclusion of the expected "triptych") will be postponed in 2022-2023
(new calendar on http://nbeplus.franceserv.eu/EVEprefignewera.html).
3 °) This reorganization aims to "re-prime" the pump as soon as possible (in order not to lose, in particular, the benefit of the initial impetus which carried the learners) and is based on the reinforcement of the importance of the workshops in line (preparatory for mobility) according to modalities discussed during the R1 meeting (report on http://nbeplus.franceserv.eu/eVeR1.html).
4 °) We believe that our new strategy will allow us a certain flexibility, insofar as the agenda of the last year will, in principle be lightened, which, in the case of new difficulties related to the health context (and which would arise in particular during this school year) may authorize any postponements decided on urgently. However, the ambition of the group is rather to respect the new deadlines adopted jointly (deadlines) and to accommodate the possible occasional absence of a particular school, aiming mainly for each establishment to achieve its objectives (its number total mobility according to the initial commitments and its contribution to the common project, which must retain its transnational qualities and be the result of the cooperation of the four partners.
The proof of the consultation is undoubtedly in the participation of the schools in the R1 seminar (the Romanian team was however only able to join in by remote workshops) but we think of sending you a letter of confirmation if you wish. the sharing of our intentions, on the part of each member of the consortium.
Please tell us if you consider this formality unnecessary or if, on the contrary, you do
need some additional information .
