II Liceum Ogólnokształcące in Jaworzno, Poland

Hi! I would like to introduce to you our group from Poland. As you can see, our teacher in this project is Ms Anna Pławecka who teaches us English and ICT. We are now in our second grade with extended English. In our group there are many nice, open and kind people.

We also participate in the social life of our school and city. In our group we’ve got our school students’ leader  - Jan Kośmider, the school chancellor - Aleksandra Balcerzak and an activist from the youth city council - Sebastian Ciołczyk.

Ms Pławecka isn't only a teacher in our school, she is also a person who controls the quality of teaching foreign languages in our city. How about activists in your groups? Respond us asap! :3 JK

The Greek School- 3rd Geniko Lykeio of Ano Liosia

Our School

Our school is called "3^rd GEL of Ano Liosia" and this is our first year here so we don't know the school very well yet. Unfortunately our school building is old and needs some improvements. There are 220 students and about 25 teachers at school.

We study a variety of subjects such as: political science, ancient greek, greek language and literature, biology, information technology, english , chemistry, physics and maths, physical and religious education. There are also four optional classes in our year: art, ICT, European culture and history and a natural resources course.

As for facilities we have got a basketball and volleyball court and a ping-pong table in our school yard. We have also got a canteen where we can sit and enjoy our snacks. There is a small school library and an IT and science lab. Our school day lasts from 8.00 am to 2.00 pm and at this time we study seven subjects.

We believe that school is a place where students can meet, share opinions and become better people. Our school is a place like that!

@ctivate! Students, social media and democracy.

Welcome to our blog accompanying this year's etwinning adventure! Four teachers from three schools have teamed up again to work on this interesting topic with their classes. Follow us on our journey through social media.

 

@ctivate! is a project to find out more about the question if social media kill democracy. Students will be looking at their own use of social media and compare it with peers on the project and nationwide and national statistics. They will look at regional elections, the pillars of democracy in ancient Greece and do research on elections that have been influenced by social media and social bots. With the European elections in May 2019 approaching students will look at young people voting. 

The aims of this project are to make students aware that it is important to develop an interest in politics in order to actively take part in European democracies. Students will also learn about their own consumption of social media. They will gain knowledge about the pillars of democracy from ancient Greece, a regional election in Poland and how social media and socia bots have influenced previous elections. As the European elections will approach students will learn about young people's voting behaviour and what they think about elections. Carrying out project work students will enhance their competences in working with virtual environments, using the internet as a medium for research and publishing and collaborating with students at the partner schools.

The teachers have developed the project jointly and made a plan for the project. Students will be working on the same subjects but at times they will have complentary topics to work on. However students will be commenting and interacting with each other at all times. The joint blog will also be created by students from all countries. The topic of voting and young people will be worked on in international teams. The project will run from September 2018 to May 2019.
