Romania
4 July 2023, the Romanian partner school Scoala Gimnaziala Bistrita organized a conference with 54 participants. The project outputs were presented as well as workshops and hands-on activities for facilitating a growth mindset approach in school.
As described by the partner school's principal on their website:
The project dissemination event Mindset Go! took place in the festive hall of the school on July 4, 2023. The event was attended by 54 people, teachers from other local schools and from the county, the representative of the County School Inspectorate, the representative of Bistrita City Hall, parents, teaching-auxiliary staff.
The objectives of the project, the expected results and what had been achieved so far were presented:
- the activities carried out with the students and parents during the three years of the project,
- the mobilities,
- our contribution to the project's publications
- activities for students, for parents, the logo selection competition, online meetings with partners and much more.
Valuable experiences were shared:
- about interaction with students and parents,
- about unique experiences shared with partners during project meetings,
- about the schools in Slovenia, Spain, Reunion Islands and Sweden.
We had the special pleasure of receiving, online, a few words from the Slovenian partners, a reason for joy and positive emotion for all of us.
A project that aims to change mindsets never ends. What we have tried so far is only the beginning of a sustained activity in which teachers, students and parents coordinate our efforts to educate students to be resilient, to make an effort, to continue their formation as people and when they think they can't anymore, they still can a little bit more. This is exactly the spirit of the project: "I haven't reached my goals YET!"
