Character
Navà s, Catalonia (Spain) - Escola Diocesana de Navà s
4-8.3.2015
​
After the first workshop in Lithuania and having decided the most important parts of our story as well as what the characters will look like and what clothes and accessories they will wear (as part of ecah country's culture), the Spanish students will produce a tutorial video on different ways and techniques to create characters in clay. Of course, this is something they will have learnt before with the help of their teachers and some experts. The main objective of such preparatory video is that all the participants know exactly what to expect during the coming workshop and get some previous feedback if they consider it necessary.Between their meeting in the previous country and the one in Spain, pupils from the different participant countries will be communicating to each other to make the necessary decisions through our blog, facebook, or any other virtual way their teachers might consider useful. On the last day of their stay, our pupils will be in charge to tour the others around important cultural areas in Spain in order to make it easier to understand the Spanish culture better and be able to breathe and experience it themselves.
Scenography
Kayseri, Turkey - Ahmet PaÅŸa Ortaokulu
15-19.4.2015
​
Turkish students are going to construct a background in order to build an environment for our part of the story. They will build their own scenes/backgrounds for scenography and build an iPad stand for the workshop which will be held in Turkey. After the second workshop in Spain we will have learnt what our clay characters look like and then we will choose the best backgrounds to make them play in. Before constructing the scene, the students will take photographs and drawings before the next workshop in Turkey, explaining the backgrounds and then a tutorial film about scenography will be sent to all partners by using our blog, twinspace, youtube and other communication tools. By means of social media the students will be eager to use new technologies both in their school and outside of school for their learning. On the last day of the visit, students will see the historical places of Kayseri and taste the traditional Turkish food.

Final show
Aland Islands (Finland) - Godby högstadieskola
6-10.4.2016
The 1/03/2016 all partners will send material to Ã…land to produce a completed result of our film project. This will be completed with professional help, of amongst others, a local film club and a TV producer to a quality that can be shown at the local cinema here "Savoy" and also for TV viewing. Not only the animated film but also the preparatory workshop films.
Pupils here will produce a film showing preparation for an exhibition to be held Friday the 8 th of April 2016. The exhibition will not only incorporate the project work but also serve as an insight into the partner countries and their schools.This film should help to simplify preparation for the other countries.It is hoped that the countries can explain and share experiences of their own workshops. A collective digital book will be produced of our workshop learning and teaching experiences together with the results of our work that can then be shared via blogs, school websites, possibly even local newspaper articles within the involved countries and of course internationally via E twinning. Material could even be printed physically as a book for future interested schools and youth projects. Various chapters within the book could look at amongst other things, "producing an animated film",workshop projects, work diaries, corresponding useful literature, and useful internet links. After the film showing where local important figures such as politicians, involved stake holders and other schools will be welcomed, a release party and disco will be prepared at school. As before, the last day will be set aside for visiting local places of interest on Ã…land.
