We have a logo!

Once the project had started , the four partner teams had introduced one each other and the first activities had taken place, it was high time to confer our project a visual identity. Therefore, an strategy was developed to choose a logo from the candidates

The designs had to fulfil the following requirements:

• depict the spirit of the project

• be adaptable to any form of dissemination (paper, cards, posters, email, website, social networking...).

• reflect the nature and themes of the project and must include the following motto: "Sense Your City".

• be entirely original, not breach any copyrights, and not previously published.

Each partner school ran their own competition in order to select TWO finalists. Participants had to  submit both a copy in color and in black-and-white using DIN-A4 or folio format.

During the first short-term exchange of pupils in Barcelos (Portugal), which took place in December 2018, each team presented and explained its two logos to the rest of the schools’ representatives. Afterwards, each delegation casted 3 votes, one each for the three logos they think are the best, in order of preference (i.e., 3 points for 1st-best, 2 points for 2nd-best, and 1 point for 3rd best). Teams could not vote for logos from their own school.


In the end, the winning logo was one of the candidate designs proposed by the Greek partners. It was chosen by the Portuguese, Polish and Spanish participants for depicting the notion of discovering  Europe and especially the countries included in this partnership through the human senses at a glance. As soon as the winning logo was chosen, it started being used in all products.

Initial Evaluation of our Pupils' Previous Knowledge

In order to evaluate the previous knowledge of participant students  at the very beginning of the project, we decided to ask them a very simple question: What do you know about the cultural heritage of the other partner cities? 

Padlet has been the tool used to find out what students at all four partner schools knew about each other's city. Results are showing that, as expected, they do not really know much about Gdynia, Agios Nikolaos, Barcelos or Tarragona. This is actually highly motivating for there is a lot to do but we are sure that in two years time, our pupils will have increased their knowledge about other places in Europe and their splendid cultural heritage thanks to the cooperation and exchanges foreseen in this project.

The Greek team is answering the question at the padlet concerning the cultural heritage of the other cities of our Erasmus program. They don't seem to know much, but what will happen in the two years period from now on? Just wait to find out! #erasmus#erasmus2018#agiosnikolaos#crete#greece#padlet#culturalheritage#classroom

Short-term Joint Training Event for Project Coordinators

From October 10th to 12th the team leaders of the four schools involved in the project "Sense Your City, Taste Its Sights" met for the first time in Barcelos, Portugal. There they got  a training on how to use new technologies to implement, monitor, evaluate and disseminate the project and its impact on our communities.

This training also gave partners an opportunity to discuss about project deatils and plan ahead activities.  It was definetely a fantastic experience after which we all were looking forward to going back to our schools to get started!
