Czech school and our quiz

ZŠ Táborská in Prague is an elementary school educating pupils aged 7 - 16. Our school has a long tradition. It is 106 years old and is a faculty school of Charles University. We are one of the pilot schools who developed the new educational programme for schools in the Czech Republic. Since 2010, the pupils of our school have been involved in a project called “Film-makers”, where they learn how to create films. This project is in English and “eMotion pictures” idea came from here as an opportunity to give our project European value and to motivate the students to improve their language skills. Having partners from Italy, Turkey and Poland would be a priceless opportunity for our students to step closer towards Europe. Our school is well provided for film-making: we have a fully equipped theatre as a part of our building. It includes stage, auditorium, dressing room with costumes, sceneries and audio and light mixing tools. Here we would practice the indoor parts of our films. In our project we also plan to use our library, two ICT classrooms, two gyms and an outside playground, a kitchen for cooking classes, an Art atelier and more. We have a long tradition with international cooperation as we actively take part in eTwinning projects and have already gained three Quality Label Certificates. This will be our third Comenius project ever but the first one, where there will be mainly pupils involved in mobilities. Some of our pupils are really talented little actors and film-makers, however, disadvantaged by their poor family background and cannot afford to take part in global education and travel to foreign countries. The grand would enable them to take part in mobilities, to impove their language skills and to widen their horizons. Also, our local environment is brilliant for filming – there are many beautiful places - romantic streets of Prague, Vltava islands, interesting views and backgrounds to support our, as well as the international students’ creativity. Our school is responsible for starting our Twinspace of the project eMotion pictures, which has been running since August 2012 and via which we found the most suitable partners for our planned project. During the mobility in Prague we intend to visit Prague film studios, which are walking distance from our school. We will organize a photography, art, and drama workshops for our partners. Preparatory visit was hosted by our school between 24th – 28th January 2013, where we had a chance to discuss the project's goals and detailed plans and topics personally.

Preparatory visit (January 24 - 27 2013)

Preparatory meeting of the new international exchange project took place in January 2013 in Prague. Teachers from Spain, Italy and Turkey came to Táborská elementary school in Prague and we have created and completed an application for a grant for the project there. Polish school was in touch with us during this stay via Skype. Eventually, the Spanish school did not join the project.
