1st LYCEUM OF PERAMA
COMENIUS PROJECT
RAINBOW – REAL LIFE ENGLISH WITHOUT BORDERS
ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
The 1st Lyceum of Perama , has been involved as a partner in the comenius project "Real Life English without borders".
Our school is located in Perama ,a suburb of Piraeus
Except for the lessons that last from till , we also present activities that are worked out either in the evening or during the weekends. So,our "Rockemon" band ,plays rock and pop songs 3-4 times in the year. The last performance follows the end of the final exams and is given in the evening, open to all students and the public. Our editorial team each year , prepare a magazine where all students can write freely their thoughts , ideas or interviews given by important people etc. Last year we won the first prize for the best article concerning football. Another team prepares and conserves the site of the school http://1lyk-peram.att.sch.gr/. Of course we have a football club that plays in the regional school-championship .This year we won the regional cup and we continue to the national school-championship. In the end, I'd like to present the theatre team. We start working on a play agreed by all ,in October. All rehearsals take place in the evenings or during weekends. We usually present our work in two performances, in May, open to the public, at the school theatre. This year, we work on a play that the first part can be considered as a "performance". It refers to the story of the town, focusing on places , persons or events of minor or major importance. The second part refers to a tour to a bazaar in the east (Teheran), where many unexpected and funny things happen . The second part includes five songs, sang by the students live, except for the last that is played on the CD and the students dance. I think that especially the first part of the play, can be translated and worked out by the students of the partner schools (of course fitted to their town/story/needs etc). Even the second part can be worked out the same way and of course the songs. This work can be used as a tool to know the story and culture of our town and people, and finally communicate it to the others, using English, as a common language. Finally, I think that culture and especially the theatre can be a tool to bring people closer, understand each other and overcome differences.
ABOUT THE COMENIUS PROJECT
Theatre can be used as a means to make students of different countries and different cultural backgrounds come closer to each other , exchange ideas and why not , cooperate , making use of modern technologies , multimedia , e-mails etc. They can work on a theatre project , translate the play , study the characters , exchange ideas about scenery , music , costumes and finally act.
The play we work on this year can be used as a basis to achieve all above targets and finally except for all referred benefits (making use of multimedia, translating the script , exchanging ideas , cultural approach etc) , students will enjoy their work and even communicate it to the public of their town.
The play and especially its first part , as it refers to the town (story, places, persons, etc)can be translated and worked out by the students of the partner schools(fitted to their town/story/needs etc). Even the second part (a tour to a bazaar in the east (Teheran), where many unexpected and funny things happen) , can be worked out the same way and of course the songs.
The whole project can be used as a means to know the story and culture of our town and people, and finally communicate it to the others ,using English, as a common language. Finally, I think that culture and especially the theatre can be a tool to bring people closer, understand each other and overcome differences .
