Some comments on propositions of Giovanni - as he has been the most productive;) Comments of Giovanni are in Italic;D
- what about involving all the pupils in the decision of the name of the project? We could give them 5 or so to choose from

We do not have time for this. It has to be decided before the end of January and we do not have 5 to choose from.

F1 : DISTRIBUTION OF TASKS: I suggest distributing tasks to every nation.
we do not have this kind of specific tasks and the main thing is that everybody has to do everything!

- For ex: some of us can organize the twinspace (if we decide to use the ewtinning platform): start blogs, folders, etc. My colleague Cristina is our expert in this, we can do it, if you want
all this can be done in proboards, so it is ready now. no extra space needed.

- someone else can be responsible for organizing the uploaded videos (vimeo? other sites?). We could also appoint someone as the one who suggests which informatic tools to use for the different phases of the project (ex programs for recording, pictures, etc) so that we all use the same programs
not necessary. everybody can upload using the tools they are used to and publish the link to proboards.

F2: We could maybe also include some form of contact as skype or something similar. There might be moments when a group tries to play some live songs for others who are connected live
Very sceptical about online/skype things based on previous experience... Usually it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare and agree and the result is... I strongly prefer uploading things to internet where everybody can see, listen and read on their own time.

RECORDING/FILMING : creating a (very simple) MUSIC/TV channel/radio : a Podcasting program could be used (I don't know how to create it myself, but am sure some of you can): every month/two months we could publish a new program putting together the contributon by students from different countries

About channel I am not sure, but uploading videos and presentations to the internet is a very important contribution of pupils.

ah, another idea! the name: SOUNDS LIKE EUROPE it is funnier than sounds of europe and ambiguous. what do you think?

[gerli]

And once more! Everybody must find out, if you need some extra documents or anything for your National Agency.

We discuss on application until the end of January and then lock it. After that everybody can/must take care of sending all necessary documents to your own NA.

Hello everybody from Spain.
Some comments about our project:
. The title: Sounds like Europe, I like the jock with the words, It's good for our project.
. About the suggestions of Giovanni, I'm agree with the comments Gerli have said about the title, the distribution tasks, the links, and I think it would be easy for all upload the films to internet.
I will continue later.
Regards

Hello again,
About the Work Programme:
- 1/09/2012- Project's logo contest:Problem with the date? we start with pupils at 10-12 september, pupils have to do the logo, we can change it to the end of the month.

- I think it's too close, the same day, 15/10/ 2012( 1/2 pieces of music to the web and video propositions of repertoire) We can separate it and do one in october and the other in november, for example).

- The presentation about popular music and film one sample of music has the same date: 1/12/2012. It's too much. We can pass one to February, or so.

- We have a lot of things in the first year, I like it if we change a little the dates, in the second year we have less activities, may be we would pass the Sample of music to March 2014, to equilibrate a litte or introduce a new presentation, ,from 30/11/2013 until July 2014, Stonia week we have not activity.

Regards for all! Puri

- Gerli, as you have a lot of work in the project, we would film and upload the first concert.

[giovanni]

hi puri

all what u suggest sounds sensible to me

take care you all

govanni

[gerli]

Right, I thought the same actually - it is a lot in the beginning and quite empty in the second year. The propositions are reasonable, I'll try to reorganize the dates. Thanks!

The new name "Sounds like Europe" is very gut.
I think it would be good too, to pull apart the individual appointments for uploading the videos (performances of the various music groups and proposizions of repertoire).
I am very excited that the students can present contributions to popular music from each country. I think we will all get a lot of learning and good insights. In March, we have a musical performance at the school. Does it make sense that we also take of this presentation a video? Since then all instrumentalists, singers and actors were together, but not all of the students would participate in the Comenius project since then they have already finished school. But maybe it would be interesting ....

Greetings
Nicole

Hello,
we fully agree with the application. We have already discussed the application with our principal and he has approved the project.
There are a lot of activities in the project that are new to us (e.g. DVD production, podcasting). Therefore, it would be great if we could - as already proposed - distribute the dates for the meetings more evenly.
Our holiday schedule for 2012/2013 is as follows:
fall break Oct 8th - Oct 20th, 2012
Christmas break Dec 21st, 2012 - Jan 4th, 2013
Easter break Mar 25th - April 6th, 2013
Best regards
Ulli Zurwehn

Hi everybody,
Gerli and the team have done a great job. I would fantastic! I agree that the dates could be shifted (a bit), but I think we should keep in mind that the main occasion and goal in 2014 is the festival in Estonia.
Would you be interested in having T-shirts of common design with our logo. We have an opportunity and all the necessary equipment at our school for making designs and embroidering. How does it sound to you?
Regards,
Dina

[gerli]

Hello, everybody!
Thanks for all the comments and remarks. The dates of meetings can not be moved. It is necessary that we meet in autumn 2012 as soon as possible to set all the plans in details, but probably it is not realistic before the end of October. We would like to do the first meeting as late as possible in spring 2013 and Puri said the latest possible for them is the 2nd half of April. And the Estonian festival is in July 2014 - so it leaves about 15 months in between... But we can fill it with videos and other internet communication! Of course film every music event in your schools you can! Everybody would love to see it!
