PROCEDURA DI LAVORO

The main communication and cooperation platform will be twinspace. We have already used it before in previous e-twinning projects. We plan to make the most of all the tools offered by twinspace for cooperation and communication: mailbox, teacher forum, pupil forum, blog and chat. Official information between project partners will be shared through the etwinning mail account.
Different google drive documents will be used for sharing ideas about instructions for project activities, project meetings and responsibilities, especially during the preparation by all our organisations before the project activities take place.
During the implementation of the project, all the instructions for project activities, results, minutes of the meetings, pictures, videos, etc. will be uploaded in twinspace. For oversized files, we will use a dropbox shared folder.
Some IT tools will be used to coordinate the project and not only as final products: web site, blog, APP for smartphones, online newspapers with paper.li, scoop.it, etc.
Cooperation and communication with other relevant stakeholders in our project, such as the general community, town halls, NGOs, Music schools, etc., will be done by using national tools and ways of frequent communication: official webpage of each school, national blogs, school newspapers, school intranet, letters, emails, telephone, etc.
