On 27
April (during on Open Day event at our school) we organised a Comenius
Day. We wanted to make the project more familiar to our school and local
community.
We prepared colourful posters so that the people visiting our school could find out something about our partner countries, the project itself and about the Comenius programme. To make the stand more visible we also decorated it with loads of balloons with the EU flag. Our stand was visited by many people - students and teachers of our school, prospective students and their parents. They all had the chance to watch films from our Norwegian, Spanish and Dutch experiences :-) We also exhibited scrapbook pages and items representing project countries and we prepared some sort of buffet. We had some German sausages and “Haribo bears” , Dutch Gouda cheese and stoopwafels, Norwegian sweets and cinnamon cakes, Spanish olives and rice pudding – a Portuguese dessert. A real “European food festival”! At the end of the day we decided to let most of the EU balloons into the sky. Just a simple thing but it evoked a lot of smiles on our faces – we had great fun!

We also
decided to organize 2 contests: one was a competition about the EU and the
VAGAB project and the other was a spelling competition (in English, of course).
