Why write this blog?


I am writing this blog because when I started to investigate the world of Comenius Projects I found almost nothing that was of any use to me in starting up my own project. Since then things have improved a lot but I would like to think that anyone that finds and reads this blog will get a lot out of it and will be encouraged to participate in their own project. Here I am recording all the steps I take and all the ups and down I experience, the honest unvarnished reality.

If anyone would like to contact me to talk further about comenius projects please don't hesitate to do so.

A hint of future success?

I ran into Dominika on Facebook last night and she was able to send me the link to a page from her national agency in which our project figured as one of those that has been passed. In truth, as she pointed out, of the 800 or so projects that had been presented only a handful failed, so this is not perhaps the best guide as to how well we are doing.

She also told me that someone at her agency has said that we won't find anything out until at least the end of July, this is in a way what I suspected, we won't find out till it is just late enough not to be able to do anything in the way of preparations. Ah well, c'est la vie.

In the end I will end up doing all the presentation work on my own over August and then springing it on Francesc at the beginning of the school year in September, at least he won't have time to argue.

I have to remember to take all the details of the project home with me so I will have it all to work on.
