NOTES:

Videoconferencing

Meeting through Skype was easy and practical in general. We didn’t have any big communication breakdowns.
8 different groups attended the videoconferences. Students talked to each other one by one while their friends watching them.
The students were very excited and eager to meet their Hungarian friends. They enjoyed communicating with them in English and discovering what kinds of breakfast habits do their partner have, what do they listen and watch, how do they spend their time as a family and what kinds of festivals do they celebrate as a family etc.
Realising the differences and similarities among familes in two cultures, they sometimes got suprised. The most important part of these video-conferences was that they learned about each other and shared a lot.

2nd Movement- Latina/Italy

It was a very enjoyable and informative trip. Meeting with all the partners and sharing information was very useful and exciting for both our teachers and students as usual. Visiting the classes and taking to Italian teachers was a nice experience for our teachers. Daily trips are very exciting as we can see the concrete examples of Italian history and their beautiful nature. We learned a lot about our Italian partner, their culture and hospitality this time. We had time some time to discuss about details of our project and enjoyed spending lovely time with our partners. Host families were very hospitable and they were very nice to our students. It was a great experience for our students to share some time with an Italian friend in English.
