Last week from 16th to 20th April the Comenius teams from Hungary, Portugal and Turkey finally met!

 We had a wonderful stay in Debrecen, thanks to Ildikó and all the staff from her school. They made a remarcable job! On the first day we were welcomed by the Mayor of Debrecen and we visited some interesting places of the city. We had a welcome dinner together and we prepared next days’ work.

On the morning of 17th we visited the school. We saw some lessons and children performed some songs and traditional dances for all the teachers. 

 In the afternoon we started the presentations. All the schools talked about the educational system in their countries. We compared and analysed the differences and similarities.

Next, we presented the results of the sociometric survey. This study allowed us to identify and characterize the ” outsiders” in five classes.Teachers showed the results of the questions analysed in this questionnaire.

We also presented the answers to the free time questionnaire. There were many similarities in our students’ answers. Basically they like and dislike the same kind of activities, despite the country where they are living and no matters their social conditions or habits.

 Almost all students like outdoors activities, staying and going out with their friends and they enjoy activities with computers and games in general.
