Welcome to the Comlympics!!

Welcome to all our partners in Romania, Turkey, Poland, Italy, Belgium, Bulgaria and the UK!!

The purpose of this project is to examine the benefits of cultural diversity within a framework of community cohesion within the Family of Nations that is the European Community. It has been suggested that we do this through the medium of sport. A second curriculum target will be to promote responsible enterprise within the students taking part in the project. This may be done through the students organising a sports event supported by a Fair Trade market.

The target may be therefore to build in the second year of the project towards the Community Olympics or Comlympics - a one-day event that will feature teams involved in sports that are special to the countries involved in the project. This might involve sports such as cricket from the UK and oina from Romania.

Alongside the sports events on the day, we may also feature a Fair Trade event with appropriate market stalls and games.

However, these are only the ideas that are being discussed at the moment. Elena Rusu will be organising a preliminary meeting in Baia Mare in January to which you will all be invited. As a democratic project, you will all have an equal opportunity to decide what should be the curriculum targets for the project, when the meetings should be and what the final outcome of the project will be in the second year.

If you cannot make the meeting, you can keep up with events through this blog!!

All of you have access rights to this blog and will be able to post your comments at any time.

Best wishes to all

Andrew
