the history of our European Grundtvig project (Blended Learning and Intercultural Dialogue) in a nutshell

1. The story of the BLaiD Project Oct. 2007 – June 2009

2. Our common project was Blended Learning and Intercultural Dialogue . Most of the results of our experimenting with various programmes, sites and medias is published on the internet on http://docweb.khk.be/KHK/BLAID/ SlideShare.net and on Flickr.com

3. The following presentation consists of a number of screendumps of what can be found on the internet.

12. The second step of the planning started in Aarhus, Denmark

17. In April 2008 students and teachers met and presented their achievements on the common topic ” My town” in Brussels and Geel in Belgium

20. In October 2008 students and teachers met again for further presentation of achievements on the common topic ” You and Me in Europe” and mutual inspiration in Arendal, Norway

22. Rob with the Belgian student group, Who like everybody else had prepared different presentations

23. ” You and me in Europe” by the Dutch student group.

24. The Danish student group had made a small video interviewing people around their school in Aarhus – asking just one question: ” When do you feel, that you are a citizen of Europe?”

27. The immigrant students at the Norwegian language school had made a heart touching PhotoStory with music, where they told about their ideas and dreams of Europe and Norway before and after their arrival.

31. At each place, we spent time on seeing the localities of the educational institutions. Here it is a language lab at the Norwegian school of adult teaching, and Joanna is demonstrating, how to produce a perfect pronunciation of the Norwegian letter Y

34. Anja from the Netherlands showed us how to use the free internet-community www. ning . com And only a few days after returning from Norway, many of us had joined the page where we shared photos and films. Please notice, how each person can personalize his or her page.

51. So far the Blended Learning Project has been a great inspiration and every participant has learned a lot. At the moment, we are looking forward to the final meeting in Lithuania in June 2008. Hopefully our pages on http://docweb.khk.be/KHK/BLAID/ will be an inspiration for others.
