ComeniusSchool Development Project

Final summary

G.R.Y.B.B project 2004/2005

The aim of the project

The aim is to cooperate on subjects relative to the running of schools or on the choice of teaching methods to resolve problems we have in common.

In our case the theme that interests us is “Sport and school education”.

“Is it possible to carryout competitive sport and study obtaining good results in both? What strategies are used in different countries to combine sport and study? How is it organised? What relationship is there between sport and basic democratic values, health, respect of the environment, scientific progress?”

The activities have been thought out using the TOROC Educational programme.

2003-2004 / Blue ring: HEALTH EDUCATION- Food and correct nutrition- Doping- Safety in sport
2004-2005 / Yellow ring: SPORT, SPORT SCIENCE AND CULTURE- The concept of progress, the importance of performance, new technologies.
Black ring: CULTURE AND LANGUAGE- Sport as a Cultural event, the meeting of different populations, schools, twinning and exchanges.
2005-2006 / Green ring: SPORT AND ENVIRONMENT- Sporting activities and school equipment- the territory and physical activity - Agenda 21 and possible sports.
Red ring: SPORT AND SPORT CULTURE-Sport at school: theory and practical- Competitive sport and competitions.

Evaluation of work carried out in the second year

The co-ordinating school is fully satisfied with what has been achieved in the second year. Obviously there have been some difficulties due to different work methods in the different schools.

Co-operation between schools and an increased sense of responsibility are a consequence. Positive signs are the initiation of bilateral exchanges and e-twinning.

Help from CMAVS and TOROC has been appreciated.
