ADVERTISEMENT OF OUR PROJECT, Secondary School Lucian Blaga Jibou, ROMANIA
Students had to realize an adevrtisement for this project. This being the last activity, it had to be a special one. They had prepared for a long time before doing the activity, studying all the other activities that had been done before. Also some students were in charge of sharing and studying pictures related to the project in order to remember what the project was about since it was accepted in 2020.
Some other students were in charge of buying the necessary materials for
the realization of this activity. And also, there was a group of students who
gathered main ideas and create groups of work, in which they discussed the
ideas and set everything to plan.
A specific date has been established for bringing all the necessary materials to school and start working on the advertisement. This was made possible only after the students have previously studied the ideas, the main objectives of the project, the eleven activities that have been done before, also the countries that are partners in this project.
Students formed six groups and they used the ideas that they had planned
beforehand, after studying all the materials, pictures, gathering ideas.
They used coloured pencils, crayons, sparkling stuff and all they had
planned to, in order to make each advertisement more appealing. The children from our school voted the best
advertisment. Then they shared it on our Facebook Page, where they voted via button
,, LIKE".
We uploaded the videos on our social media pages, whatsapp groups and everyone was very proud of their work, inspiring the others, too.
Being the last activity, it provided feedback on everything that has been done so far. Everyone remembered details about the project and the activities that have been carried out along the project, also the students had fun when they saw themselves in the pictures one or two years ago. They also rememebered the pandemic period of time, which they didn´t like.
Everyone enjoyed this activity, boosted their self confidence and improved their English skills. By remembering details about th project, they will get the project experineces back to their mind.

VOLUNTEERING ON THE FARM, Secondary School Lucian Blaga Jibou, ROMANIA
Students had to visit a local farm and get into the farming environment. They needed to observe what the farmers do in order to raise and take good care and animals. Added to that, students had the chance to see and try do the job the farmers usually do. It was a great opportunity for students to learn new skills and abilities and think if it could be a good job for their future. A group of students visited a local farm, where they raise animals and use diverse agricultural machinaries to harvest the land and produce organic food. Students got to the farm and met the farmers who showed them around. They saw sheep, cows, sheep dogs, rabbits, donkeys, oxen and many other animals. Some of them enjoyed it and to others it was a challenge being such close to farm animals. Farmers showed them what tasks they have from morning to evening. Students fed the animals, played with them, even tried working the land with tools.
This activity helped raise awereness at the
types of food we eat every day, where it is produced, as well as at the skills
you need to have in order to be a good farmer. Students gained more self confidence
and they got more opened to helping working the land and taking good care of
animals.
Even
if there are students who are not into farming, or do not like animals, this
activity helped them open their horizons and see something else, apart from the
lessons in the class. Open air activities give students the opportunity to
observe the world around them, were food is produced and what is healthy for
our own way of living.

school and at home. Some of them created puppets but thought of using new
materials, too.
Of
all the titles of traditional stories they came up with, there was one which
was the favourite: The Goat and her Three

culture everywhere, even after his death. The students made fact files about
him and learned a lot of facts about his life and work.
There were
six students who wanted to perform the play. They really enjoyed being the
characters in the story and their classmates wanted to take part in it, too. So
there were more students involved, eventually. They all took turns in being the

together what they needed for the trip that took place on two different days.
The visit to the city center park was at the end of school and the children
collected autumn leaves to use in art class. The goal was to explore the
wonders of nature, socialize and spend beautiful time in nature.
The journey was longer, the children were tired, but happy when they arrived and discovered the wonderful view, the forest where they discovered various species of trees, they delighted their hearing with the hum of birds for which they brought houses specially made by students to serve them as shelter.

the project was quite challenging as we were about to face the starting of the
covid pandemic. Therefore, the activities were postponed and we had to move
them to the next school year.
The staff and the students were presented
details about the new Erasmus project and they were informed that there would
be a logo competition. The students were very pleased to hear about it, as some
of them are very good at drawing and using their digital skills to create the
logo.
They worked in online
groups/pairs and also individually in order to create the logo of the project,
using their own skills and developing them.
Students designed many logos, but only few of them have been voted by the
selection board made up of students and teachers. At project level, there have
been chosen three logos and then each country had to vote for one.
A turkish student´s
logo was the winner and it became the logo of the project that we have been
using on everything related to the project ever since.

selection of the logo, students met one of the local painters, who is very
famous on national level. They painted together, asked questions, tried thei
