· Knowing the town and the community by means of the thematic visits;
· Understanding the elements of Croatian cultural identity, elements promoted by literature – the theme of the project;
· Improvement of skills regarding communication in English, the language of the project.
During the last meeting within the project “Let’s Meet Under the Spots”, the activities have been continuously connected to the objectives of the project as follows:
The first and second days in the calendar of activities (15 th of April 2013) consisted of the arrival of the European teams of teachers and students, and a journey from Zagreb to Istria part, following the tracks of Croatian history and geography.
The third day of the meeting (the 17th of April 2013) was a day full of didactic and thematic activities. In the morning, all the countries visited the school and talked to representatives and school staff. The students involved in the play rehearsed and familiarized with the show to take part on the next day. The teachers gave opinions, made useful comments and helped the students.
The guest students had the opportunity to visit the school and meet Croatian students and teachers. After lunch everyone took part in Daruvar tour, under the form of a lovely activity entitled ‘Follow the White Hat’, where students from Croatia presented the surroundings and offered objective information about Daruvar. A new rehearsal followed.
On the fourth day of the project (the 19th of April 2013) the group rehearsed the play again before the final show. The show consisted of organizers’ speech, specific moments by the Students from all the countries involved in the project, the performance of the European play “ The Future”, final outcome of the project.
The project meeting finished Friday, on the 19th of April 2013, when the European groups left Daruvar and had the opportunity to visit Zagreb, updating their general knowledge, as well as witnessing the Croatian life style.
The results of this project meeting are obvious. Firstly, I would mention communication in English all along the mobility and after finishing it. A step forward is students’ increased interest for literature and reading. Then the desire to discover new cultures and civilizations is a reason for students to be involved in the project.
The dialogue among the members of the groups is another advantage on the list.
The fact that the students were hosted by their Croatian peers led to beautiful friendship.
Next, we would mention the newly created texts and most importantly, the filming of the play with students-actors from different cultural backgrounds and educational systems as final results of cooperation, the creative dimension being the high point of all the work.
Photographs, students’ testimonials, travel impressions, newly acquired cultural and literary information can be mentioned as other fruitful results of this project meeting.
