Успели смо! / We did it!!!


SERBIAN:
Успели смо!


Овај сан смо дуго сањали... Тачније од првог састанка у Лашком (Словенија), aces Kick-off Meeting-a  у септембру 2012. године, па до свечане ACES академије , априлa 2013., Сенецу (Словачка). 
Добили смо награду за иновативно учење. Тома, Елена, Ива и ја не бисмо успели без помоћи волонтера, наставника и професора обе школе, ђака (који су дали свој максимум и показали изузетну храброст појавивши се у медијима ). Ових пар месеци је било напорно, исцрпљујуће, пуно жртвовања, али се исплатило! Када сам видела осмехе на Еленином, Ивином и Томином   лицу ( а он се скоро никада не смеши, а када се насмеши било је веома кисело - сада је његов омех био искрен и пун поноса ) - била сам поносна што сам члан оваквог тима, али не само због награде, већ због велике блискости. Јако сам се везала за њих, што се могло видети када смо узимали награду... Успела сам да савладам многе препреке, а неке не скроз...Сви су нас похвалили за презентацију, за коју је заслужна Елена. Доказали смо оно што сам хтела: ИАКО СМО РАЗЛИЧИТИ - ЈЕДНАКИ СМО! 
Најдражи део ми је био када нас је Хајнц прозвао за награду, показавши људима аплауз на знаковном језику и када сам ја,свима на церемонији, на знаковном језику  рекла "Добро вече, како сте?" 
Поносна сам  што сам  члан ACES-а!

Елена, Тома... жао ми је што смо се растали, били сте одлични партнери, драго ми је што смо сарађивали. Пуно среће на следећим пројектима. Надам се да ћемо сарађивати на још неким пројектима сем на ACES-у.

Хвала свима који су били уз нас!

ENGLISH:

We did it!

This dream we have long dreamed ... from the first meeting, 
aces Kick-off,

 in Lasko (Slovenia),  in September 2012 until the ACES Academy in April 2013, in Senec (Slovakia).


We have obtained a prize for innovative learning. Toma, Elena, Iva and I would not have managed without the help of volunteers, teachers of both schools, students (who have given their best and showed great courage by appearing in the media). These few months were hard, exhausting, a lot of sacrifice, but it was worth it! When I saw the smiles on Elena, Iva and Toma's face (and he almost never smiles, and when he smiled, it was very sour - now his smile was honest and full of pride) - I was proud to be a member of this team, but not only for the prize, but because of high affinity. I was very attached to them, which could be seen when we were on the stage while receiving the prize ... I was able to overcome many obstacles, and some I still have to work on ... All the way we were praised for the presentation, which was sreated by Elena. We have proved what I wanted: ALTHOUGH WE ARE DIFFERENT -WE'RE EVEN!
My favorite part was when 

Heinz 
called us for the  Award, showing people round applause in sign language, and when I 
said, to everybody at the ceremony, 
"Good evening, how are you?"

 in sign language, 
I am proud to be a member of ACES!

Elena, Toma ... I'm sorry we parted, you have been great partners, I'm glad we worked together. Good luck on your next projects. I hope we can work together again on some other projects, not only in the ACES world.
Thanks to all who were with us!

Press release in "Romania libera" about Romanian schools awarded at the Academy in Senec- Danke, Erste Stiftung!/ Articol in "Romania libera" despre scolile din Romania premiate la Academia din Senec- Danke, Erste Stiftung!

Elena Eigel a trimis acest link la un articol din Romania libera despre proiectul aces si blog.

http://www.romanialibera.ro/actualitate/educatie/doua-scoli-din-romania-premiate-de-academia-scolilor-din-europa-centrala-299247-main_pic1.html

English:
The National College "Sadoveanu" from Paşcani and Special Middle School "Constantin Păunescu" from Iaşi were awarded by the Academy of Central European Schools for their projects within the competition "Understanding Media".

This year, over 100 schools have registered to the Academy of Central European Schools and an international jury of experts awarded five most innovative projects.

The project of the National College “Sadoveanu” -  "Growing up with cartoons"  -  focused on two objectives: to show the influence that the content of today's cartoon has on children and to create a link between past and present cartoons.

"Participating at the activities of the project was a great experience for both teachers and especially the students involved. It was a project made from our hearts, with dedication and we, as teachers, became more aware of the imagination, tolerance and understanding our young students. We also had the opportunity to work with young people from other countries, to see other civilizations, to understand other civilizations and these were the most important motivations for our students to continue to get involved in projects.", commented Mihaela Constantina Vătafu, project coordinator and teacher at the National College "Sadoveanu" in Paşcani.

The project "Media Voices 4 special teens" coordinated by Special Middle School "Constantin Paunescu" from Iaşi aims at raising the public attention to the specific problems of teens with special educational needs. The project aimed to demonstrate that young people with special needs can and should become active members of their communities and should not be regarded as people who need assistance.

"The implementation of this project gave me the opportunity to know my colleague teachers better and they proved to be very enthusiastic, affectionate and devoted to help children with special educational needs. I warmly thank to all those who made possible this enchanted place called acesLAND, I am grateful to them for the atmosphere and spirit of the place (that we tried to bring back tome with us in suitcases), for all the words of encouragement and the advice given, for the warmth we were received with and for all their patience and willingness! We expect and hope to go back there again! " said Elena Eigel, project coordinator and special education teacher at Special Middle School "Constantin Paunescu " from Iaşi.

Approximately 230 students and teachers, representatives of the Ministries of Education and education experts from 15 different countries gathered last week in Senec, Slovakia, for the closing ceremony of the Academy of Central European Schools, the 2012-2013 edition. Among them were representatives of the winning schools in Romania. During the meeting, school representatives presented the results of their projects with the theme "Understanding Media" and exchanged their experience with representatives of other participating schools.

Every year, within aces, there is a contest for school projects based on international partnerships. Romania is part of the international network of these schools since 2006. So far over 63 schools in Romania have successfully participated in these programmes.

The topic of the 2013-2014 cycle is "I and the others. Discovering diversity around and within me" and project proposals must be submitted by April 30. In today's society, diversity has changed from exception to norm: people from different ethnic groups, religions, ages, genders and sexual orientations coexist and should be treated equally. Schools, especially school projects as these, allow students to interact with people from different cultures and learn from each other. Thus, students begin to see the world with different eyes, which will generate critical thinking, greater openness and creativity - essential qualities for our world.

Academy of Central European Schools was initiated in 2006 by the Erste Foundation. The project is coordinated by VČELÍ DOM (Slovakia) and Interkulturelles Zentrum (Austria) and is supported by the Ministries of Education in all 15 participating countries. The main objective is to create conditions for intercultural dialogue and cooperation between students and to create a permanent network of common knowledge, methods of learning and innovation. Approximately 23,000 students and 3,000 teachers from 15 countries took part in the previous editions of aces contests.

Two and both... (guest post) Doua si amandoua (postare gazduita)

Thank you, aces!
http://educatiapentruviitor.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/two-and-both-two-schools-from-iasi-county-romania-and-their-magic-evening-at-academy-of-central-european-schoolsdoua-si-amandoua-doua-scoli-iesene-si-seara-lor-magica-la-academia-scolilor-central/

Home again...

We are back home...after few wonderful days at the aces Academy in Senec (Slovakia)...we had really great time there - met lot of old and new friends and learnt many new things...

Great energy, great people...mutual sharing and dreaming together...

We are really happy that we became members of the wonderful aces community  and had opportunity to dream together...in our DREAMLAND:-)

We are especially proud and happy because our project "Media Voices 4 Special Teens" has received a special achievement award for innovative learning at the Ceremony...

Once again: Thank you to all aces people who made this possible, our local and media partners, colleagues and blog followers and all who belived in us, supported and helped us....and, before all,  to very special teens - pupils of our schools! :-)

Stay tunned...there is more to come....

No way! (Step in, it's open!)/ In niciun caz! (Intra, e deschis!)

English:
Here we are!
Making last moment plans for Academy- suitcases, shopping, long online sessions to prepare the final presentation, strategies, pinboard, rehearsals...
The good part of this stressing time is that makes us remember everything.
The painful part is that special feeling of THE END.
Sounds like FAREWELL??? I'm not ready for this. NO WAY!
There will always be TOMORROW. I will NOT give up on them easily, as long as I am here. I am here. I am!

What is so SPECIAL about special teens? Or about their teachers? Nothing special about any of them. And everything. Their work is longer and they achieve everything in the hard way. They don't make any progress  if they do not get involved emotionally in what they build together. Their souls are open books and their smiles are the most honest ones that you will ever get.

Special teens? There is no such thing! Because all the teens are special. I am the witness of that, after I saw the naugtiest teens I ever met(our cute Orga team) transforming into the most kind, friendly, nice, sensitive, understanding, friendly group of young people you can imagine!


If you would ask a special teen about friendship, probably he would tell you:
"For me, I don't feel special. This is my way of living. If you are curious and want to get to know me better, you should come closer. I would do it too, but sometimes my voice is too weak to  call you, or my words don't match with yours. Or maybe you are too far and your words do not reach me, so I cannot answer to your call. So come closer. If you wish to come into my heart, come closer! And step in, it's open! "

We are living into this world together, so we must grow together. Only in this way, the best is yet to come!
Romanian:

Iată-ne!
Facem planuri de ultim moment pentru Academie -valize, cumparaturi, lungi sesiuni on-line pentru a pregăti prezentarea finală, strategii, panou pentru pioneze, repetiții ...
Partea buna din acest timp stresant este aceea că ne face să ne amintim tot.
Partea dureroasa este acel sentiment special de SFARSIT.
Sună ca "adio"?? Eu nu sunt pregătita pentru asta. De niciun fel!
Va fi întotdeauna MAINE. Nu voi renunța la ei cu ușurință, atâta timp cât eu sunt aici. Sunt aici. Eu sunt!

Ce este atât de special la adolescentii speciali? Sau la profesorii lor? Special cu privire la oricare dintre ei nu e nimic. Și  e totul. Munca lor este mai lunga si reusitele lor se obtin pe calea cea mai grea. Ei nu fac niciun progres în cazul în care nu se implică emoțional în ceea ce construiesc împreună. Sufletele lor sunt cărți deschise și zâmbetele lor sunt cele mai sincere pe care le veti primi vreodată.

Adolescenti speciali? Nu există asa ceva! Deoarece toti adolescentii sunt speciali. Eu sunt martorul acestui lucru, după ce i-am văzut  pe cei mai neastamparati adolescenti pe care i-am intalnit vreodata (drăguța noastra echipa Orga ) transformându-se în cel mai prietenos, frumos, înțelegator sensibil grup de tineri pe care vi-l puteți imagina!


Dacă ai întreba un adolescent special despre prietenie, probabil ti-ar spune:
"In ce ma priveste, nu mă simt special. Acesta este modul meu de a trai. Dacă esti curios și doresti să mă cunosti mai bine, ar trebui să vii mai aproape. As face-o si eu, dar, uneori, vocea mea este prea slabă să te strig, sau cuvintele mele nu se potrivesc cu ale tale sau poate esti prea departe si cuvintele tale nu ajung la mine, așa că nu pot răspunde la chemarea ta. Deci, vino mai aproape. Dacă doresti să intri în inima mea, vino mai aproape! Si intra, e deschis! "

Noi trăim în această lume împreună, așa că trebuie să crestem împreună. Numai în acest fel, ce e mai bun va urma!
