A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF
THE PROJECT
•

PUPILS HAD TO DO A COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO RIVERS: THE
OLT RIVER (ROMANIA) AND THE AUDE RIVER (FRANCE).
THESE RIVERS ARE USED DIFFERENTTLY
THE AUDE RIVER - FOR SPORT ACTIVITIES, FOR
HYDROELECTRICITY AND TOURIST ACTIVITIES;
THE OLT RIVER - FOR HYDROELECTRICITY AND HYDROTHERAPY;
THERE WERE 7 WORK TEAMS AND THEY HAD 7 THEMS FOR
RESEARCH:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
1. THE CYCLE OF WATER;
2. SUBSOIL WATERS;
3. WATER TREATMENT WORN;
4.USE OF WATER AND CONSUMPTION;
5. POLLUTION;
6. THE EUROPEAN LEGISLATION;
7. A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE AUDE AND THE OLT.
THE FINAL PRODUCTS
• WEB-SITE – http://echangeroumanie.free.fr
• 2 EXHIBITIONS WITH POSTERS REALISED BY THE ROMANIAN
AND FRENCH STUDENTS;
• BROCHURES IN ROMANIAN,ENGLISH AND FRENCH WHICH
WERE DISTRIBUTED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL;
• A MODEL WITH THE CYCLE OF WATER (THE FRENCH
STUDENTS);
• A MODEL WITH THE HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATIONS
WHICH ARE IN VALCEA DISTRICT (THE ROMANIAN
STUDENTS);
• QUESTIONNAIRES ABOUT WATER CONSUMPTION.
CROSS-CURRICULAR
APPROCH EXAMPLES OF THE TASKS
• THE PRESENTATION OF THE CYCLE OF WATER AND ITS
IMPORTANCE FOR LIFE (GEOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY,
CHEMISTRY);
• THE PRESENTATION OF THE EXHIBITION AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL( GEOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY, DRAWING);
• THE PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT AT LOCAL AND
NATIONAL LEVEL (THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY SYMPOSIUM
IN BUCHAREST – 2007, DIFFERENT SCIENTIFIC
SYMPOSIUMS);
• DIFFERENT ARTICLES WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LOCAL
NEWSPAPERS OR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHY MAGAZINES;
• THE QUESTIONAIRE WAS DISTRIBUTED AT 100 STUDENTS
(MATHEMATICS);
COMMUNICATION
• WE HAD 2 VISITS OF DOCUMENTATION –
• THE FIRST WAS IN 2005 IN FRANCE AND THE SECOND
VISIT WAS IN 2006 IN ROMANIA;
• DURING THE FIRST VISIT THE STUDENTS AND THE
TEACHERS DISCUSSED OVER THE MAIN POINTS OF THE
PROJECT;
• AT THE END OF THE SECOND VISIT, THE BOTH

HOW ACHIEVED
THE EXHIBITION
• THE POSTERS WERE REALISED BY EACH WORK TEAM ;
• THEY HAD TO COLLECT THEIR MATERIALS – PHOTOS,
TEXTS, DRAWINGS, PICTURES AND PUT THEM ON BIG
CARDBOARDS;
• EACH TEAM HAD TO REALISE 2 POSTERS – THEIR
POSTER AND THEIR CORRESPONDENTS TEAM POSTER;
• THE MATERIALS WERE SENT BY POST AND THEY

ON PAPERS.
.
STRENGTH
POINTS

DURING THEIR SPARE TIME, EVEN IN WEEK-ENDS AND
HOLIDAYS;
• THE COMMUNICATION WAS MADE BY E-MAIL AND THE
STUDENTS DIDN’T ANSWER ALWAYS IN TIME;
