ABOUT BERLIN MEETING...

The SEE project officially started for students at Berlin.

The morning was focused on the concept of entrepreneur and the testimonies of successful entrepreneurs. First it was the turn of three former students from Bertha Von Suttner to talk about their experience. They were the creator of Eventation and the creator of Fritz Cola. They told the difficulties they have passed through and how they had started. Then the audience had the opportunity to ask questions to them.

Later, each school representatives showed filmed interviews they have done to former students who had set up a business. It was very useful to know how others have managed to do what we were going to start.

In the afternoon the students did an activity by groups to work on leadership and cooperation. They were given some recycled articles and they had to create a product and sell it to the others.

To conclude the meeting there took place a contest to choose the official logo of the SEE project. Every school presented their prototype. The level was very high but finally it the Italian logo was the chosen one.

The Berlin’s Meeting finished with a brand new logo and a lot of information. From then each school would work on a possible business plan until Catania’s Meeting.

ABOUT CATANIA MEETING...

The SEE second meeting took place in Catania on March of 2015.The aim of the meeting was to present the ideas for the project of each school to make a final brainstorming to come up with a final project idea; WE LEARN.

During the first two days we presented the ideas. Each school developed a whole project, including the business plan, the web page design etc. It took us a lot of time because after each exposition we could make questions to each country to set exactly what they wanted to do and how they wanted to develop it.

After that, the teachers formed multinational teams randomly and we had all the afternoon to argue about all the presentations and to create a final idea mixing all of them. We were given a poster board and we present our final idea. Then we voted and the winners was We Learn. 

ABOUT LONDON MEETING...

The third time students met was in London's Tolworth Girls School, November 26th - 30th 2015. On the first day, we did some ice breaking activities to promote leadership in mixed groups.

On the second day, we all went to British Library to attend a lecture about business plan making. We were told about the Business Model Canvas. We could also enjoy a little bit of London and Kingston.

The third day was the most intensive. We shared all the work we had done so far, i.e. the business plan, the advertising video, the video for investors, the logo competition... We also chose the new WeLearn winning logo, assessed by the branding director of  the Imperial War Museum.

ABOUT BERGEN OP ZOOM MEETING...

On the next 10th of March some members of the Erasmus + group are flying to the heart of the Netherlands. As you may know the last meeting was held in the capital of Great Britain, London. This time we are headed to Bergen Op Zoom. There, we will discuss and put in common all of the evolution we have carried out since the last meeting. We expect it to be both educational and fantastic.
