10iCampus
2015
September. The whole school was informed about the project especially the teachers and the students, who are connected to the international track, which is the track that is involved in the project.
October. At the Open House arrangement at Varde Campus, where we every year invite potential new students and their parents to tell about 10iCampus, we briefly informed the guests about the possibility for the students to take part in the project in the school year 2016-2017. We also started preparing the visit in Estonia for the Transnational Project Meeting where we were supposed to make a presentation of our school.
November. The First Transnational Project Meeting in Tartu, Estonia. The meeting was a huge success and all the six nations agreed upon the contents of the project. We enjoyed the stay in Tartu very much and were very excited about Tamme Gümnaasium.
December. We started the selection of the two students, who should go to Porto in Portugal in February 2016. Every student in our international track could write an English application to the teachers. We got 12 applications and all 12 students took part in an interview in English where they orally had to convince us to choose them.

January. The preparations for the first Transnational Meeting began. The two students made a presentation about our country, region and school. And the topic of the meeting “Digital and Technology Literacy” was also thought over by both teachers and students. The teachers also had to prepare a presentation about the topic “Dissemination“, so the teachers of the project could agree upon a strategy in Porto. At our second Open House arrangement at Varde Campus, where we every year invite potential new students and their parents to tell about 10iCampus, we again informed the guests about the possibility for the students to take part in the project in the school year 2016-2017.

2017
January. The excursions and the guest teachers are now planned in details. Hard work is put into finding the host families – our students are very busy people!!
February. In a corporation with one of our students we made a layout for the e-book. And the hard work planning the meeting in Denmark with arrangements concerning transport, food, accommodation, home-stay etc. continues.
March. This was quite of a busy month. We spend a lot of time on preparing the third LTTA here in Varde. We had to prepare all the practical things, such as making the classrooms ready, make sure that transport and hotels were correct, making folders, making name tags, preparing the instructions, holding a parent-teacher meeting and so on.
We filled out some different templates for the e-book, such as lesson plans and other things.
We also made an additional track this month, which we called the C.L.I.C.K. track. Here we had to make the participating students ready for the transnational activity. They got to make a cultural ceiling from umbrellas, and they had to learn about the country that each umbrella represented, we also made the student make our interpretation of “the Hopes and Fears” from the other countries, they prepared a guiding tour around the facilities of Campus. Among other things they learned about Speakers Corner and made speeches for this session. They prepared the session “My Country in a Bag”, and they wrote emails for their host student. And last but not least we talked a lot about politics and intercultural awareness.
In the end of the month we held the third transnational activity. Here you’ll be able to see our objectives and the program for the 5 days.
And we also had some newspapers write about this project, and here are some of the articles.
