5.4 Partnership and distribution of tasks

5.4 partnership and distribution of tasks

Please explain the distribution of tasks between participating institutions and the competences required from each of them. Also explain how you will ensure the active involvement of all partners in common partnership activities.

To carry out all aspects of the work programme, the group project divided responsibilities as follows: the Polish school is responsible for coordination of the project on the international level and for educational aspects of the project; the Czech school is responsible for evaluation; the Hungarian school is responsible for mobilities; the Romanian school is responsible for dissemination; the Swedish school is responsible for ICT and innovation aspects of the project aspects; and the Turkish school is responsible for the Art aspects of the project.

In each school there is a teacher-coordinator who will organize activities and efficiently supervise the completion of the tasks that are listed in the work programme; she will collaborate with the Project Group partners. Each coordinator, in addition to working on the project, will arrange the international visit to their school, oversee pupils who will prepare materials, and work with parents and mass media.

The Swedish school has a lot of experience working with ICT in education and has good resources for that purpose. Therefore its contribution concerning ICT will be significant; it will start setting up a Wiki for the project. The Swedish and Polish schools will jointly prepare a WebQuest addressing the harmful influences on the environment. The WebQuest will be integrated in all participating schools in Science lessons. The Polish school will take charge of collaboratively writing the final report using the conducted research.

The Czech school will deal with questionnaires, analyse them and publish the results. Besides being in charge of mobilities, the Hungarian school will especially help the Romanian and Turkish schools who will participate for the first time in the Comenius project. The Hungarian school will also publicize the Spring Alive action to all students participating in the Virtual EDEN project.

The Turkish school and the Polish school will work together to formulate the rules of the photo competitions for the best photographs, and publish them on the internet. They will initiate various exhibitions and supervise the creation of the Virtual EDEN – the joint product after the first year of carrying out the Comenius project. The Romanian school will document dissemination of the project and the outcomes resulting from the students' research. It will be responsible for setting up mathematics lessons, which will use interesting context and non-conventional methods.

The teachers involved in the project activities at each school will take control of carrying all planned activities out, keeping the approved time schedule and sending the products to all participating countries. All the staff involved in the project in each school will work according to their own school project activity and time schedule generated before the project initiation. All activities will be arranged in advance and set to a planned schedule that will be decided before the project is launched.

A blog has been set up for this project at http://baltazar-eden.blogspot.com/. A blog is a tool which allows participation and engagement of all participating schools in an easy and fast way. The Wiki will be another tool used to determine the active involvement of all participating institutions. A reliable and attractive Wiki can the result in a collaboration which combines scientific reliability and artistic imagination. Our common goal is to create such a Wiki.
