Spring day for Europe - 25 March - 9 May 2009
IDEAS MOVE EUROPE
Spring Day for Europe is an annual campaign that is open to all schools in Europe and elsewhere in the world. Teachers are encouraged to involve their students in activities that focus on debate, interaction and reflection on European themes. Spring Day enables young citizens to express their views and make their voices heard in Europe.
2009 is the European Year of Creativity and Innovation (EYCI). The Spring Day for Europe campaign aims to raise awareness about this in all types of schools. It runs from 25th March to 9th May, with a special focus on 9th May, which is Europe Day.
The Spring Day for Europe website includes a large and flexible programme of events, activities and games for pre-primary, primary, lower and upper secondary, vocational and special needs schools in Europe, as well as the rest of the world. To register your school, please look at the Spring Day website: http://www.springday2009.net/
If you would like one of your Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) to visit your school, Ian Levinson, the National Teacher Adviser would be pleased to help. He is also able to advise and answer questions about Spring Day for Europe (levinsoni@colchsfc.ac.uk).

French Partner Schools and Videoconference projects
A message from the British Council:
Dear colleagues
We have the latest list of primary schools signed up on eTwinning. No primary school need be short of a French link school.
There is also a scheme to link 1000 schools via 'visioconference' proposed by Xavier Darcos. I now have two contacts (non commercial - one is at JANET COLLABORATE, and one at Westminster LEA) who can assist schools (who are already linked with a French partner school) to set up their VC equipment to link to their partner school depending on the various technical requirements of their particular LEA, grid, and so forth. Please ask me to pass you on if you are in this situation or know anyone who is.
