19. Januar 2012
Arrival: Sunday 12/02/2012
Departure: Thursday 16/02/2012
Project week at school “”the Wingerd”
Participants: 28 students + class 4A2 Wingerd (17 students): 35 students
Teachers: 10 + 2 from the Wingerd = 12
Accommodation: Students: Host families (parents 4th year Wingerd – science dep)
Teachers: Hostel47, Gent.
Task for the students to be carried out in your home country:
The students attending the Eurobike meeting in Gent should bring a memory stick with their group’s powerpoint presentation and a short movie.
PowerPoint
We are looking for about 3 examples (minimum) of each of the following:
- existing successful use of the bike in your area (pictures and some explanation)
- inadequate provision of biking facilities in your area
- new creative ideas for introducing the use of bikes to make our environment safer and healthier, again in your own area.
The idea is that everybody has a picture of the use of bikes in your hometown, any progress that has been made in the past years and goals for the near future. Dreaming is not forbidden, money is no object, personal views are recommended.
Movie
Secondly we would like to organise a small competition by asking you to make a short movie (free style) using your mobile phone, camera, etc… of max. 3 minutes with the title “Eurobike”. We have three prizes waiting for you for the most original short film!
Please make sure the movie can be played with “windows movie player” software (or another standard piece of software). The teachers of each country will form the jury.
