Project Summary

Initial project planning was condemned in the following circumstances:
– the refusal of the Italian partner school to work on a project due to the departure of the teacher involved in the project and the inability to find one instead. It is not necessary to note the S3 mobility to Italy and redistribute planning activities among the other partners and mobility.
– The Covid-19 pandemic makes it impossible to verify C5 mobility to Portugal. As compensation, in the most difficult months of the unknown / May-June 2020 /, in case of maintained contact through regular virtual meetings. At the end of the planned 24 months, the Spanish school decided to include the project. The Bulgarian and Portuguese schools are looking for an extension of another 12 months, provides a condition for epidemic establishment is not checked mobility C5, providing for the participation of students. Replacement with virtual mobility in the last months of the school year also proved impossible, as the students were twelfth graders.
In these circumstances, maximum efforts were made to realize the planned activities. We work together, in close communication through the eTwinning platform and social networks. Project activities were integrated into learning journals through design-based learning methods and collaborative learning. The implemented 2 mobility for staff training / C1 in Seville and C6 in Sofia / and 2 mobilities with student exchange / C2 in Seville and C4 in Sofia / were the result of good communication, joint planning and streamlined organization. The meetings were held in the spirit of friendship and hospitality. The students joined with interest and enthusiasm and as a result of the results of the efforts they achieved significant results, among which we will mention the musical “The Man from La Mancha”, a performance on stage at NATFA in front of a full hall of parents, teachers and students; videos with excerpts from “Don Quixote”, shot with participants from three countries; presentations on the life of Cervantes and collections of works inspired by his novel Don Quixote; special issues of the “Small School Gazette” of 164 GPIE; videos and presentations used to disseminate the results.
The benefits of the project for all participants are indispensable and are highly appreciated by them and their families. Actions are recommended to interest students and their similar interdisciplinary and personal competencies. Teachers working on the project reporting the benefits of professional development and improving the quality of teaching in an innovative way. The project helped to establish lasting links between partner teachers with a view to future initiatives.
