Preparatory visit in Rome - COMENIUS 1.1 
“Art through children’s eyes and computer mouse”

I'm happy to report about our successful preparatory visit In Rome from December 11th to 15th. There were 11 members from 7 partners' schools attending the event. We are grateful to our partner school 1° Circolo Didattico Pietro Maffi, Via Pietro Maffi 45, Rome – Italy that hosted us and made possible our meeting to be fruitful. Let's briefly present when and what  we did and discussed there.

On WEDNESDAY December 11th all the participants arrived. In the evening Patrizia invited us to her home and offered us delicious dinner. Thanks Patrizia and your family. 

On THURSDAY December 12th, 9 o’clock, we all gathered at 1° Circolo Didattico Pietro Maffi and were shown around the school. We talked to teachers and students and followed their lessons. It was interesting to experience a special successful technique for reading in the first grade. 
Afterwards we were introduced to the Head Teacher and had a relaxed chat with her. Each partner school presented their school and country.


After tasteful lunch in the school canteen a group of students prepared some program for us.

In the afternoon there was a meeting with parents and teachers. There the hosting school presented their Comenius experiences and we presented our schools and the planned project. Italian colleagues showed some of their children's artworks and a short video of a brainstorming done with the kids about the two Artworks. Alessandra Talamo, the representative of ECOLE and Rome University was also there. She spoke about the meaning of collaborative learning and ECOLE, as our Comenius project was born within this network.
In the late afternoon we all went to the centre of Rome to enjoy the city.
The evening was devoted to preparation of the project plan.

On FRIDAY, December 13th we met again at school and worked on the Project form all morning. We presented our three year-plan and we discussed the possibilities and actions in future. The meeting was very active and exhaustive with constructive comments and proposals from all schools involved. We ended it late in the afternoon.

On SATURDAY, December 14th, we worked on the form at the hotel and filled all the necessary data. 
In the afternoon we had free time to do some sightseeing and shopping.
In the evening Patrizia organised a farewell dinner at a nice restaurant. There we somehow concluded our work in a relaxed atmosphere.

On SUNDAY, December 15th, was a departure day and first partners had to leave early in the morning (Bitte from Sweden).
I believe that I can say on behalf of all involved that our preparatory meeting was a success and we now all exactly know what it is expected to be done in our project in future.
