The aim of the Project: to raise awareness among students about the endemic and endangered plants, to save environment and to attract the attention of local community to this problem. Summarised activities done in one year of the Project by all schools in common: Logo contest- creating logos, making competitions, choosing the winner. Website logo contest made by Latvia. Eco clubs were created. Skype meeting- Christmas greetings and songs. Singing songs in native and English languages. Creating  Comenius corners- informing students and parents about each partner country before or after visiting it. Celebrating the day of the visiting country by listening songs, watching presentations and videos, finding information about culture and traditions. Putting photoes on „Save The Earth Please“ blog. Creating a calendar for 2014-2015 year with endemic or protective plants from each partner country. Romania was responsable for producing it. Posters with endemic, protected or ornamental plants of our region and their uses. Making greetings and cards with Valentine Day. Video about each country, region and school/PP presentations. Exhibition about water. Each country made a picture about water in their country or region and brought to exhibition created by Spain. Exhibiton about the recycled objects. Each country produced a thing from recycled things and brought to exhibition created by Spain. Visit and activities in the Botanical garden in Spain Publishing articles in a local press (Spain, Poland, Lithuania). Collecting seeds and dried plants from our countries or regions. Planting seeds in Romania and Lithuania. Visiting the pagan place with the oak of more than 600 years old. Results we have achieved: Pupils and teachers got more awareness about the environment. Clean and healthy environment. A deeper understanding and respect for Earth, thanks to knowing, learning and growing plants. Students have learned different expressions in the languages of partner countries and also English. We have learnt about endemic plants in each country. Pupils and teachers improved their knowledges in the usage of ICT by making presentations, videos, pictures. All have learned about the importance of water in the world. All have learnt how to recycle objects The results: video, pictures, articles are posted in the blog „Save The Earth Please“. The blog was established by our Coordinating school in Turkey. T-shirts with the logo of the Project were produced by Spain.
2.2. What difficulties we have met in our partnership? How did we managed?
Romania- language difficulties with some Turkish teachers - the talk and explain to Turkish coordinator. Spain - lack of communication with some of our partners: Hungarian coordinator attended in just one meeting and she doesn’t write answers to e-mails, posts. We also have some difficulties in agreeing on dates for meeting - talking about this with partner countries and trying to find the right solution. Hungary - problems with the information flow from their coordinator. Not getting the information in time. Poland - problem of not answering the mails in time from Hungarian coordinator Monika. The problem solved by getting in contact with other teachers in the same school. Lithuania - disagreeing and changing on dates. Problems with Hungarian coordinator (not participating in meetings, activities) - talking and trying to solve these problems during the meetings. Latvia – restricted number of mobilities to Romania, I was asked to bring just two students. Due to very busy schedule in May, I could not realize more mobilities just one. Hope to be able to bring more students and teachers to Hungary and Turkey.
