Posters on Iceland in Kadrina

We wanted to share our emotions of the wonderful trip to Iceland with our colleagues and students and so we decided to put up a poster exhibition in our school.

Environmental survey

The first step for the Estonian team was to conduct an environmental survey. There was a team of .... teachers with Hegi at the head.
Both the Estonian and the Icelandic teachers assess the statements, analyse the current situation and at the next meeting in May discuss the problematic issues and try to find solutions to them.
Here are the  questionnaires on 11 different topics.

BIODIVERSITY
LITTER

ENERGY
WASTE MINIMISATION
SUSTAINING OUR WORLD
SCHOOL GROUNDS
WATER
HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
FOOD
TRANSPORT
INTERIOR DESIGN

First meeting in Iceland - November

On November 2nd 5 teachers from Kadrina Secondary School ( Kirsti , Raimo, Hegi, Merike, Arvo with his wife Imbi), Kaire and Erich from Kadrina Municipality packed their suitcases and set on the first meeting in Iceland. The Icelandic teachers had prepared a wonderful programme for us - look at the pamphlet Asdis made for us!

The days were full of activities ranging from school visits ( from primary school to university) to picturesque sites and the marvellous Blue Lagoon. Here are some photos for everyone to enjoy:-)

Application approved! - May

On May 29th we got the good news - our project had been accepted! However, there were a lot of proposals and recommendations for improvement, which took us almost the whole summer. Finally, in late August, everything was polished enough to please the experts and we signed the contract.

Preparatory meeting - March

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Preparatory meeting in Kadrina, March 3rd-7th, 2014

http://eeagrants.archimedes.ee/

Asdis and Diddi came to a preparatory meeting, where we planned the future project in a team of 5 ( also Kaire, Hegi and Merike)  We had lots of discussions in order to find the common ground and issues that would interest both parts. After 3 days of hard work we were ready and called the project  :

"TESIC (teachers of Estonia and Iceland)- Improving Skills to Face the Challenges of the 21st Century"
