Preparation phase (from 1st Sept to 30th Dec): Involvment of stakeholders This is a crucial point for our project, for disseminating the results Stakeholders are: Local/Regional/National Public Bodies Other schools both private and public Professionals and thematic networks: look which network is active in your town, they will be very useful!
Students selection criteria Students selection criteria: Age of students between 11 and 13 years 20 students creating the DigiVIBESTeam, each one taking part in one mobility but all involved in the activities foreseen all along the two years (i.e. virtual mobilities, dissemination). Each school may have additional criteria All partner schools will involve at least 10% of students (2) with special educational needs/fewer opportunities. After selection expired each partner will enroll its own students and teachers into the Twinspace (name, surnames and profile pics). Deadline for selecting students: 10th December
Preparation phase (from 1st Sept to 30th Dec): Once the 20 students will have been selected, before the mobility in Netherlands, the 3 Modules on Musical: digital, inclusive and cross-curricular will have to be created. The Dutch team will lead the process, but all partners (and their students) will contribute via eTwinning (virtual mobility, preliminary to the physical one). We have to define a template for the modules, so that every country will follow the same structure. Structure of the DigiVIBESToolkit will have to be structured as well. Let s define some chapters!
Modules model The international team decides that: The modules must be created with a participatory involvement of the students. The discussion and choice of final contents of the modules are the core part of the preparation phase. This will boost students interaction and motivate them to be engaged. All students registered in the project Twinspace can take part, not only those taking part into the mobility. When choosing, students can select 3 out of 6 musical composition which will be developed and later on included in the modules. Each module will be composed by 6 different music genre which are the one selected during the project writing of which each partner has one assigned: Classic music, Jazz, Rock, Electronic, Musical, Folk and the modules will have to cover the following topics: compositions to be developed, researches, authors, history and a tip and tricks section. Of course will have to be clarified which ICT elements have been used. We set a min and max length of the modules: min 1 max 2 pages per Music genre, so min 5 max 10 pages per topic, thus the whole document will be composed of min 25 max 50 pages, images, videos and hyperlinks included.
Tools for communication among coordinators Email for general coordination Twinspace All materials can be seen and downloaded from TS WhatsApp group For communication during the mobilities (at least coordinators and participating teachers have to be connected to the Internet when abroad for fast communication). PLEASE use it wisely! If we send randomly message we risk to lose important steps. For important and official communications, emails will be used only!
Tools for virtual mobilities and communication among students During the preparation of mobilities we will organize online meetings among students to discuss about the modules. The leading country of the Music genre will also lead the virtual mobility. We will use Twinspace: All students have to be provided with a TwinSpace account Students will useTwinSpace for: 1. chatting on the Twinspace Forum (asynchronic communication) 2. videoconferences (here we will have to schedule a day and a time when students can all be online. If not possible to set a common day for all 6 countries, we can make subgroups)
Implementation phase (Dec 2019 June 2021) 6 Short term students mobilities, 4 students and 2 teachers each (Netherlands January 2021; Bulgaria March 2021; France May 2021; Malta October 2021; Turkey January 2022; Italy March 2022, 4 working days + 2 travel days each 2 Joint staff training events, 3 teachers for C1 and 2 teachers for C8 (Italy November 2019; Netherlands May 2022) During the time inbetween each mobility, the modules to be tested will have to be developed by the DigiVIBES team. The hosting country will lead the process, but all partners will colaborate involving the 4 students taking part in the exchange. ICT elements has to be incorporated to enhance the experience through ICT. During the mobility, the jam session and the Audition will be implemented. 1 output to be produced: DigiVIBESToolkit, a collection of the 6 Music genre with its modules tested.
Scheduling mobilities General rules for mobilities events: 4 students, 2 teachers per country, working in English and in international groups Hosting country has to: Finding hosting families for the students give advice/ organize accommodation + lunches and suppers for teachers give advice/organize transports from the airport to the final destination organize local transports and logistics in general Support Italian coordinator in preparing a set of competences to be included in the Europass Mobility document for all participants.
Scheduling mobilities General rules for mobilities: The hosting country sends the schedule taking into account the daily flat rate given by the EU 53 per day per student + 106 per teacher x 4+2 days. Organization being under the responsability on the hosting country, each visiting country will pay for its share of expenses autonomously. Each country, according to national accountancy rules, can decide to pay for hotel and services (whenever possible) by bank transfer in advance or with cash/credit card once arrived.Hosting country has to be informed of the favourite payment method. We decided that all actual costs of the visits (i.e. trasports during activities, museus tickets etc) will be split among all participants. If hosting countries need to hire external experts or buy non consumable goods,this kind of expenses will be paid with the PM budget of the hosting country. Visiting countries are obliged to inform their hosting partner about possible food allergies and other specific needs concerning accommodation, the necessity to take medication and other significant issues All participants understand and accept the possibility of their image or photo being used for the purpose of promotion and dissemination of the project activities very important point!
