… “ why do you think the Comenius Project "ACTOR" may be important for you?? And for the school?? “

CLASS 1 A
The opportunity to compare the educational systems, the organization of the different schools involved.
It's not a common experience
We may know the differents subjects dealt in other European schools.
Teachers may compare methods and organizations.
This experience is important also for our town Gravina: its traditions, history and culture may be knowk abroad
We may be inspired by the new friends and "copy"  their lifestile, if better then ours. And also our lifestile could be shared in Europe.
(Teacher: Gelly De Leonardis)
CLASS 2 A

The most shared answers are the following ones:

Students could know more topics and  use and speak foreign languages.

Students can have more friends  and teachers can share opinions about other cultures

Collaboration with other nations can be useful to improve the knowledge of other traditions

Students and teachers can have the possibility to travel abroad

Students and teachers could become more united and play and learn together  

(teacher: Maria Colafiglio)

CLASS 3 A

This project is important for me and for the school because …

- it helps to create relationships with other countries, teachers can exchange their opinion about the different educational system and ways of teaching;

- it gives us the opportunity to have a new experience and to open our mind to new cultural   horizons;

- between teachers and students a strong feeling born;

- Teachers can learn  new different subjects …and our school and our town can be Known abroad;

- the international meeting is a moment to stay together and visit the territory, exchange opinions;

- it underlines the European dimension…because we are European citizens;

- there is the cooperation with European schools;

- we can know better Europe and our own country;
(Teacher: Maria Dileo)

The project will help to teach the students to respect other cultures, places, religions and historical backgrounds.

Making  exchanges among different countries easier

Comparing different school systems

Advertising our school and let people around know about international activities going on

Improving our English

Learning from other cultures as much as possible in order to become really good European citizens

(Teacher: Marianna Carissimo)

CLASS 2 F

Why do you think it may be important for you?

Because I can really get in touch  with teenagers that are not Italian

Because I could see my town and environment from a different point of view

Because  I could really and  practically understand  the importance of being  a member of a  bigger community

Because I can exchange experiences and have a comparison with different points of view 

Because I can become more respectful about a culture that is different from mine

And for the school?

Because our teachers can compare teaching  techniques with the ones of  their foreign colleagues

Because  they can cooperate with teachers of different countries

Because Comenius enhances the students’ interest about foreign langauages

Because it betters the  language skills

Because it emphazises the importance of interdisciplinary work

(Teacher: Ottavio Cicala)


CLASS 2 E
Why do you think it may be important for you?

Because I can practically understand how fundamental is speaking English

Because I can exchange ideas , opinions , experiences with friends that are not my classmates

Because I think it is an useful experience for my future

Because I can compare my way of life with the ones of my new foreign friends

Because it can help me to realize the importance of being an European citizen

And for the school?

Because teachers can exchange ideas and impressions about teaching methods 

Because it is an occasion to be known abroad

Because the school can take what is positive from other foreign schools

Because this could also be a good opportunity to motivate and improve all the teaching staff

(Teacher: Ottavio Cicala, Gelly De Leonardis)

CLASS 1 F

It may be important because it let us have experiences of cooperation with other coun tries.

To know traditions of other countries.

To help students to open their minds to different cultures and to enrich their human side through new relationship with people from differt countries.

(Teachers: Arcangela Santeramo, Francesco Portagnuolo)


CLASS 2 C

For our students it is important because it’s a good way to make new experiences of relationship with foreign people and it would help students to learn how to interact with them. It is an opportunity to discover cultures that are different from ours. It is important for our school because it could be a good advertisement of how we relate with schools of other nations and how we use the study of foreign languages at school and at work


(Teacher:Sandra Potenza, Rosa Leone)


CLASS 3 F

I think it's very important for me because it allows to keep in contact with people all around Europe, to know new things, different cultures, stories, languages.... it helps to know some  aspects of myself and it is useful for my training. It's very important for me and for the school to feel in Europe, it helps  students trough specific activites, to become more  interested to the school life.(Valeria Loizzo)

It may be important for me 
Because through the knowledge of other cultures , traditions , religions I can 
learn to respect them
It may be important for the school especially to motivate those  students that 
do not seem to have interest in normal learning activities.(Angela Battista)

(Teacher: Tina Cardascia, Ottavio Cicala)

….. these are our ideas ….
