Please explain how effective cooperation and communication between participating institutions will be organised. The partnership between our schools has been strong since 2007. During this period we worked out the best solution for well-organized and effective communication. We set up the wiki at the very beginning of the project to have our common place for communication in English. |http://hiddentalents.wikispaces.com/. Our project roadmap includes checkpoints to control whether we follow the plan. We are going to organise videoconferences between schools to give our colleagues the chance to see and talk to their partners. During the mobility meetings each school will organize workshops. Various thematic contests, events and folklore projects will be organized to discover children’s hidden talents and provide them with an international audience. These events will be our other points of control. Student and teacher-made films will enable us to broaden our communication. As the project focuses on the development of teachers’ professional skills, the regular exchange of materials between schools, and appropriate feedback from teachers who will put these materials into practice, is a constant point on our roadmap. We intend to have opening and closing ceremonies of the whole project, which will concentrate on general aspects of the Comenius programme. Our professional part of the project, the programme BETTER LANGUAGE,  consists of a few stages. We determined the fixed time of each stage. For example, in the programme BETTER LANGUAGE…  we are planning three periods of work with children. Periods are imbedded in our schools’ annual schedules to give us an opportunity to compare our results with the students’ school assessment. Each period ends with a summary, evaluation, exchange of results and joint discussion.. Our final product, the book on innovative teaching strategies, also requires good cooperation. During the previous Comenius projects our Blogs, Facebook, YouTube and Wiki turned out to be very useful means of instant communication. We intend to close our project with a conference in Bucharest where all teachers interested in Comenius projects and innovative methods will be invited. Therefore all participating schools are equally obliged to participate in it and present their achievements. At the end of the project all of the schools’ representatives and coordinating teachers will meet together to evaluate the results, benefits and contributions and to plan possible future cooperation. 2423drf
