10/03/2024 – Eleventh INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION note BB11

Second Cooperative meeting in Baldone is coming soon

Hello Dear friends.

Find below some details about the next cooperative mobilities I am sending you with the agreement of Sanita and the Latvian team in order to help you to prepare the next exchange

BEST REGARDS!

---

I - C2 MOBILITY TO LATVIA

I.1 Slides, movies or speeches by each school (sharing of local activities)

I.1.1 / REMINDER OF THE FIVE SPECIFIC GOALS OF C2 MOBILITY

wars and boundaries (Ukrainan refugees, other bad impacts of conflicts)
across the fontiers by cultural sharings
local History : empires and frontiers
training sessions by a video/photo expert
festive exchanges (Latvian dances to make together, a ballet to improve about our hymn)

I.1.2 / TOPICS YOU MAY WORK ON BEFORE THE EXCHANGE (IN ORDER YOUR STUDENTS PRESENT A SLIDE OR A VIDEO ABOUT)

Only two of the specific topics we have to study in Riga may be used for a slide or a video by schools. First one is about frontiers/politic borders (across the fontiers by cultural sharings+local History : empires and frontier / these themes Baldone school has planned to explore thanks to dedicated visits) Second one is about wars and boundaries (Ukrainan refugees, other bad impacts of conflicts).

PLEASE PRESENT ONLY CONTENTS ABOUT political frontiers (and/or wars and refugees) nowadays or in a historical outlook, depending of academic purposes in your country. Note « Citizen, Foreigner and Alien » is a topic to keep for C4 .

I.1.3 / CONCRETE METHODOLOGY

Your students may present quicky the list of local activities implemented in your school (only if you want to valorize it / but normally the project holders know these details thanks to the edition in our official journal : the NBE+ blogspot if you reported in the activity grids as it is planned by our monitoring method).

All your slides will be edited in our showcase (LegendE+ dissemination website) but only one output be presented in Latvia.

PLEASE LIMIT TO TEN MINUTES THE DURATION OF YOUR PERFORMANCE since sharing of local works is only a secondary point in the framework of our mobilities.

We cannot dedicated to this activity many times but we must respect deadlines and put online the outputs as the same time of the exchanges are implemented (many products and mainly the deliverables prepared by Turkish students were not shown to the audience in Cesme because we had no time enough (but I will valorize it online).

I.2 Schedule draft

Do not forget the goal of the first pedagogic phase (2023/2024 school year) is A4 activity « Study the definition of the city and the borders (thus of the territory) »; it is the main of the six aims for year n°1 you can see in the monitoring part of our coordination website NBE+

 https://nbeplus.franceserv.eu/BBmonitor3.html

Some transnational workshops will be implemented about 1) dance, 2) empires and frontiers thanks to The War Museum, to nurish some debates about Borders, Russia, war in Ukraine, security, 3) a photo orientation game should be realized in Old Riga.

Cultural visits are planned (Rundale, Bauskaspils...

Students will take part in two workshops centered on documentary since C2 is the mobility to prepare the video package implementation (WP 4) as the same time this is the conclusive meeting of learnings about the frontiers. It means : one lesson about video footage by Louis Fabriès / one or two reporting movies to do in a transnational mode / comments of the rushes and perhaps first montage session by Louis Fabriès

I.3 Evaluation

Latvia and Italy are in charge of supervision during the first year of the second package named « SUR LES FRONTIÉRES » . WP2 programme is: Study the crossing of borders of all kinds and the limits of knowledge, in a historical and transversal approach: therefore, relate to a global vision (priority n°2) combining practical, interdisciplinary and covariant learning, in an international context and it can be divides in two parts.
2.1 Define the territorial border and its evolution over time T1
2.2 Study the overcoming of all other borders and measure the consequence of these advances and/or transgressions T1-T2

It will be mainly up to them to think at the end of this educational year on the goals which were already (totally or partially) targetted and to give some leads to help the organizers of C3 (Roma / instead of Cluj-Napoca afeter we reformatted the agenda) and C4 (Montijo).

II. QUALITY CONTROL AND ISSUES OF TEACHERS' BRAINSTORMING MADE IN C1

II.1 WP2 MONITORING

A website was especially created by the Turkish team in order to put online some tools about the limits between « known and unknown » : it is the main deliverable we promised to give as a result of our science module (WP 3 coordinated by France and Turkey). Teachers did check it is very easy to show graphics and measure instruments made using python language. French and Turkish contributors are the only one who promised to make Mathematics and or Physics in this spot the name coulf be « Be.Bo.P explorer ». A part is devoted to History of Sciences and Dicoveries and must be open to contributions from all the parners. There will be also a third chapter, for drawings. We'll see further if some of these products (especially pictures made in Roma) may be impelmented in the code to serve as a graphic chart in all the posts. The Turkish school will ask for a user name in each country (it should be the responsible for WP3 according to the Gantt Chart).

II.2 WP1/A1 GLOBAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Due to local arrangements the Headmaster decided in France, the project scheduling must be changed and C5 be postponed (moving from summer, 2024) to november or december 2025. Italian proposal to organize C3 instead of the Romanian team was accepted.

Only one step is remaining : plan the exact dates for C3 implementation / it must be done in C3. The idea is to do that during the first or the second week in november. If it is not possible, perhaps to advance it a little. In any case : try to fix it asap. Concerning C4 : January is no more a priority since there is no mobility planned later in the same school year. But we cannot do it very late in 2025 due to exams.

II.3 WP1/A2 QUALITY CONTROL FOLLOW UP Some reminders were done by the International Coordinator about deadlines and/or the missing information at this moment. It is absolutely necessary to be very strict in the application of the plan and/or to well justify any change. Moreover we need more money asap in order to apply the project. A progress report is to be made by the IC during this summer. Then we should hope to have the second part of our european funds before january, 2025, perhaps even earlier.
