Working sessions in IT lab

After having filmed some parts, students had lots of time to work on their recordings in IT lab. They could cut their films, use special effects, use their knowledge gained at workshops, or someone already had lots of exprerience working with films at home, they could add subtitles, etc. They had three afternoons when they all worked on their recordings in IT labs so there was plenty of time to discuss, come up with ideas, to correct their recordings or to add whatever effects they needed. The topic for Poland was TV commercials. They promoted countries involved in the project and free time activities. Each group chose their own topic.

Majorettes workshop

One of the workshops in Poland was prepared by two Polish students, who dance as majorettes. They showed us how to dance with baton. Some of our international students proved pure tallent!

Art workshop

On our next workshop the students made masks from different kinds of paper and colours. They worked in internationally mixed groups and the idea was to communicate and express themselves or their feelings. Here you can see how our students felt that day:

Polish dance Polonaise

On Saturday the students and teachers participated on a woorkshop in the Cultural Centre of Suwalki – this time, the workshop was focused on nothing else than the traditional Polish dance Polonaise. First, everybody learnt the basic steps and posture. Then, we got in pairs and started to dance. Wonderful experience! The dance will surely come in handy in the future.

Workshop - Pinnacle System

On Thursday morning the students were busy in an IT classroom. What was happening there? They were getting acquainted with a new filming software - Pinnacle System. In this programme you can edit your videos and learn different tricks on capturing. Now they are again a step further to make more professional videos. They can apply their knowledge in the afternoon.

Poetry workshop

Later in the afternoon the students met to read poetry in different languages. Each country prepared (found on the internet) short poetry in their language. They have already learned some words and expressions in Turkish, Czech, Polish and Italian before. Now their task was to read in the languages. E.g. Turkish, Polish and Italian read Czech poetry etc. They could learn how their language sounds while it is read by foreigners. On the one hand they found out that some languages are easier to read eg Czech for Polish and vice versa, and some are more difficult, like Turkish language. On the other hand they had a lot of fun reading and listening to it.

Creating a poster

In another workshop in Turkey we created Comenius posters about our Turkish mobility in international groups. Thanks to Mark and Johathan for an excellent guidance!

Street games

Another workshop was very relaxing for us - we were sitting outside, on a lovely school yard and playing games. Thank you, Yüksel, for preparing this activity for us!

Folk Dance Class - 15/10/2014

It is hard to believe, but we managed to take part in 8 workshops on Wednesday at school. And Folk Dance Class was one of them. Special thanks to the teacher Ahu, who taught us some traditional Turkish dances. It was a great fun! :)

"Tratidional Song" Studio - 15/10/2014

On Wednesday, we met in the school's film studio, where we sang songs in different langages, that the students prepared and studied beforehand. In Cakabei Lisesi school they have a brilliant opportunity to record the student's work in a very well equipped film studio with a variety of professional cameras, camcorders, screens, recording programmes etc. The students in this school can have various lessons in this studio to create videos in literally any subject or on any topic. You can view all sorts of film they made on youtube or on Cakabei Lisesi website. Here are some photos of our recordings. Our songs will be uploaded in the newsfeed above.
