It is also agreed that the idioms to be uploaded for the 2nd part of the dictionary will be 10 from each school.. Deadline: before Meeting of Shumen.

Deadline: March 2010.

 

 

The didactical path for the 1st year are checked through the static website: some school have not updated them yet, then they are given new deadlines to finish their work as soon as possible at least in national language.

 

 

The film titles for the project are the following:

Yalova: Freedom Writers

Targu Ju: Into the Wild

Bucharest: Defiance

Debica: Popieluszko, Freedom is in us

Shumen: Into the Wild

Berlin: GG89

Italy: Good Night and Good Luck

 

 

A common grid for the discussion on the film is finally written down:

 

HOW TO WATCH AND ANALYSE A FILM

 

Everything you see in a film is the director’s decision. It is very important, then, that you understand how the director has transferred his ideas onto the screen. In order to do this, here is a list of things to pay attention to:

  1. Basıc ınformatıon about the fılm: dırector. Tıtle. Characters.productıon. year of productıon.
  2. where the film is set and in what period
  3. short summary of  the plot
  4. thıngs that partıcularly ımpressed you about the fılm
  5. the music: does ıt convey specıfıc themes/messages?
  6. what ıs the message of the fılm and what dıd you learn from ıt?
  7. what would you change ın the fılm?

 

After that, the questions for the Questionnaire on Freedom of Conscience and of Religion (common part) are worked out.

As regards the movements and people in defense of freedom of conscience and religion, IPHR (International Partnership for Human Rights) is strongly recommended for further analysis of the international situation as it deals with updated news and statistics on freedom of religion and conscience. It is therefore suggested the partners should follow the following steps for discussion:

1)    What is the situation of freedom of religion and of conscience in my country?

2)    What is the situation of freedom of religion and of conscience in Europe?

3)    What is the situation of freedom of religion and of conscience in the world?

4)    Choose a country where freedom of religion and conscience is in danger and study the case.
