1ST MEETING. TORIGNI-SUR-VIRE ( FRANCE)

2-AGREEMENTS.

1-General questionnaire.
It was decided that it should be as interactive as possible and about
different cultural aspects of the four countries like history, geography,
music, literature… The Spanish team will take the questions developed by
the group and create the questionnaire. The rest of the countries should
send to the Spanish team, as soon as possible, a picture of:
1- A representative monument.
2-A typical dish.
3-Some traditional customs.
4-A national poet.

Finally, the other countries will send the Spanish team their national
anthem and a masterpiece of a national composer.
Once this step is finished, the Spanish team will upload it on the project
wiki.

2-Dates.

The next meetings will be:

2nd meeting ……………Krosno (Poland) 12th / 15th of April 2011.

3rd meeting……………..Kilbirnie (Scotland) 3rd / 7th November 2011
4th meeting…………..…Lorca (Spain) Last week of March/ Beginning of
April 2012.

The number of students in each of the meetings.

Poland, France and Scotland will bring a small number of students (5-6) to
the 2nd and 3rd meeting; however, Spain will bring more students to these
meetings. The other countries will bring a larger number of students to the
final concert in Lorca, approximately:

France- 40 students.
Poland- 30 students.
Scotland- 20 students.
The most of the students will stay with families, and if the Spanish team
can´t find enough families for the 90 students, alternative accommodations
will be found such as at a youth hostel…..and their country will pay for it.

3-Materials.

The material will be intended for 14-15 years old students.

The historical and literary approaches will have relevant and important
information and will also be as visual as possible. PowerPoint presentations
could be a good way to represent them.
Each partner will upload their approaches on the Project wiki space some
time before the rest of the countries start to work on their poets.
As far as the extra materials are concerned, each country will suggest the
most appropriate ones and each country will decide if they are going to be
used or not.

4-Final concert in Lorca.

Each choir will prepare an individual song and will sing it before the
International Choir unites to sing the common programme.
All the choirs will try to sing two poems of the chosen poets and they will
start studying the same poem. The music teachers will decide, according to
the choirs´ progress, if they will sing one or two poems in the final concert.
Each country will prepare the accompaniment, choreography ……etc for its
poet´s song.
