2. Summary:

 

Tuesday, June 26, 2012:

 

·      Arrival of participants. Meeting and escorting German partners from train station to hotel.

 

Wednesday, June 27, 2012:

 

·      Adherence to Program Agenda. Warm-up “introduce yourself” presentation by each of the partners (especially for the benefit of new participants/learners).

 

·      PowerPoint presentations by FR and IT and oral presentations by PL and DE of project-related activities:

 

1.      DE reported on the successful integration of tailor-made German-language-learning exercises into the Losglobos e-learning platform German-language database.

 

2.      PL reported on its continuation with language e-learning classes and basic computer classes.

3.      FR reported on the progress being made within its innovative, blended-learning approach (“Scrabble Conversation workshop) to teaching English to those over 50, as well as their plans to test and possibly implement the Losglobos platform (as this is an option made available by PL to all partners) into its learning curriculum.

4.      IT reported on its mathematics-oriented classes for seniors, especially in regard to the “language” of mathematics and Fibonacci sequences in everyday life.

5.      Rescheduling of next transnational meeting: this will take place from December 3-6, 2012, in Poznan ,Poland. For FR, flights are available from the Beauvais airport.

6.      Inre to dinner Chez Jenny: in future, do not include the (very poor-quality) red wine in their fixed-price offer of €24,75 (the white wine, beer and coffee, however, are acceptable).

7.      Inre to the MDA 11: apparently, there was a problem with accessing the internet; however, internet access was not required and not requested by any of the partners present.

 

Thursday, June 28, 2012:

 

1.      Cultural part of program, including walk in the Luxembourg Park and visit of the Latin Quarter.

2.      Visit and observation of “Scrabble Conversation” workshop at the Daviel Community Center. Festive atmosphere of last session before the summer break. Interaction and multilingual exchange among project partners and workshop participants.

3.      Final goodbyes among partners and learners in the following native languages: French, English, German, Polish, Italian and Russian.
