We wish to all our partners and to all students and teachers around the world a
HAPPY SUMMER HOLIDAY!

Friendship


The End of our project



To the end of the project "Let's get to know ourselves and our cities" we can get the conclusion that we realized the aims established.

a. To get a new view of the world around us
b. To empower young people with tools, the knowledge and skills they need to communicate in the future world
c. To deepen the relations among the European young people
d. To create background for further educational plans
e. To improve the command of English language
f. To be familiar enough with modern IC collaborative tools and to improve their use through developing blogs, WebPages or Power-Point Presentations
g. To experiment with new learning methodologies
h. To learn how to work in international teams
i. To know the cities, the schools, the likes and the dislikes of our partners and exchange ideas about the way young people live
j. To develop critical thought and explore the European perspective
k. To exchange information about cultural differences and similarities
l. To obtain intercultural knowledge, experience and computer literacy
m. To make friends in another country and, if it is possible, visit their cities

Students involved in this project worked in groups in France, Spain, Romania and Greece, introduced themselves to the others, described their family, the school environment and the educational system, discussed about their region and their city (architecture, houses within the sustainable development context, civilization, culture).
They exchanged ideas, suggestions, opinions, plans, designs, and images using IC tools.
They made crossword puzzles, riddles and diagrams trying to communicate and explain their customs, their interests, their hobbies and whatever they think their future will be like. They commented and published the thoughts and the opinions of their collaborators about studies at University or job via blogs, power-point presentations and web pages.
The students exchanged images, photos, videos and texts.
By working on the Internet and using ICT tools with the partners from other countries they have also realized the universal character of the Internet and its power.
Communication in English among students via ICT was very important.

EUROPE

Europe Day is celebrated on 9 May.

This event is in the calendar of most of the schools throughout the continent.

In this European Year of Intercultural Dialogue, teachers and students will in particular celebrate cultures, as an asset of European integration.

Today, the 9th of May has become a European symbol (Europe Day) which, along with the flag, the anthem, the motto and the single currency (the euro), identifies the political entity of the European Union. Europe Day is the occasion for activities and festivities that bring Europe closer to its citizens and peoples of the Union closer to one another.
It’s not them and us, it’s you and me.

The Tulips' Symphony

On 18th April 2008, Piteşti has celebrated a very important event, the 31st edition of The Tulips’ Symphony.
With this occasion, Piteşti has tried to register a record, to be among other famous cities around the world.
More than 20 schools, as well as more than 5000 pupils from Piteşti and from the towns around it, have taken part into breaking an old record, dancing in the centre of the town for 3 or 4 minutes, wearing white T-shirts and fashionable jeans, their goal being to succeed in entering Guinness World Records.
The chosen theme was “the dance of the flowers”, being in harmony with this remarkable event.
Me and my pupils, we have visited the Exhibition of FLOWERS!

EARTH HOUR 2008




Major cities around the world join WWF in fighting climate change during Earth Hour 2008
Earth Hour is a global initiative of WWF in which cities and communities will turn out their lights to symbolise their leadership and commitment to finding solutions for climate change. Cities from across Europe, North America, Asia and Asia Pacific, including Chicago, Copenhagen, Manila, Melbourne, Sydney, Tel Aviv and Toronto were named as the flagship participants in the WWF-led event on March 29, 2008.
Earth Hour will send a strong signal that people all around the world are deeply concerned and expect their leaders to take action before it’s too late,” Leape said. “Climate change is a global challenge that requires global solutions and it’s clear that the people of this planet are ready to get involved and find the answers.”
At 8pm local time on the 29 March millions of people in some of the world's major cities will use the simple action of turning off the lights for one hour to deliver a powerful message about the need for action on global warming.

Energy wasting - Lightbulbs destroyed

These are obsolete, but widely available, energy wasting incandescent lightbulbs. This type of bulb wastes 95 percent of its energy generating heat instead of light. This wasted energy mostly comes from burning fossil fuels like coal - causing climate change by adding carbon dioxide to our atmosphere.We crushed these bulbs in Berlin while EU and G8 ministers were meeting there for the, "Energy Efficiency: Shaping Tomorrow's World" conference to send them a message. Greenpeace is calling for national bans on energy wasting lightbulbs, and enforcement of an EU-wide mandatory efficiency standard on domestic lighting by 2010.


E "ora Pamantului", stingeti lumina!
Ora Pământului este pe 29 martie

Ora PAMANTULUI este un eveniment global creat pentru a simboliza că fiecare dintre noi, lucrând impreuna, poate avea un impact pozitiv impotriva poluarii si a schimbărilor climatice.
In engleza se numeste Earth Hour, 60 de minute in care stingem lumina pentru a marca astfel distrugerile climatice efectuate de catre om prin consumul nesabuit de energie
Programul "Ora Pamantului" a fost iniţiat in 2007 in Sydney, Australia de catre World Wide Found for Nature, iar in 2008 va fi un eveniment global. Anul trecut in Sydney s-au stins luminile in peste 2,2 milioane de locuinţe si in peste 2.100 de companii, astfel consumul de energie a fost redus cu 10% în acest interval orar.
In 2008, oraşe din toată lumea se vor alătura pentru a stinge luminile timp de o ora simbolizand astfel participarea lor la căutarea soluţiilor care să prevină schimbările climatice. Luminile vor fi stinse in cladirile simbolice, in sediile companiilor, restaurante.
Sâmbătă, 29 martie de la ora 20, timp de o oră, fiecare dintre noi poate marca acest eveniment prin stingerea luminilor, oprirea calculatorului si chiar schimbarea becurilor incandescente cu cele eficiente energetic (becurile fluorescente), pentru protejarea naturii. Ar fi momentul să arătăm că si nouă românilor ne pasă de mediul înconjurator si ar trebuie să luam parte la aceasta manifestare mondiala.
