Final meeting in Spain
Andrea presents the fact that it would be very helpful to agree upon the dates of our last meeting in Spain in 2010, taking into consideration all the problems we have according to final exams, evaluations, holidays, etc. After several proposals, the final dates for Spain are the week from the 14th to the 19th March 2010, as further on it will be impossible to arrange a convenient common date.

Meeting in Belgium
The headmaster of the Belgian school sets a fixed date for our stay in Belgium that should be from 21st to the 24th October 2009. As the partners seem to agree, these dates are accepted, even if it implies to reduce our stay for one day.

Travelling students
As there are more French students in Bremen as expected at the beginning, Andrea Holzinger tells us that it would be a reward for the German host students to take them on future travels; so she asks for the possibility of finding hosts for almost two more students in Spain. Elisa Álvarez answers that she will look for a solution and thinks that there won’t be any problem.

Intermediate report
By June 2009 all partners have to submit an intermediate report and there are several items that should be almost similar.
The item related to “Problems” should include the following points:
- Finding dates for common meetings: holidays, evaluations, etc.
- How to work out topics, workshops, etc. regarding our project in lessons? No relation with the different curricula.
- Difficulties in finding hosts
- The whole project’s coordination is strongly influenced by the restrictions of some school headmasters
- Money coordination

Other
Colette Franck presents her problems with our blog as they have worked out different booklets talking about the negative and positive aspects of leisure time [she presents a copy of each of the 9 booklets for each partner]. She asks for a way of putting these results on the blog.
Elisa tells that by means of an internet tool called SCRIBD (www.scribd.com) it is possible to publish several digital formats on the blog.
