After this Daniela Kroll announced the results of the voting about project logo. The majority of votes prefer the orange version of the logo, like France already used for the meeting in Corsica. It was decided to change the subtitle into:

7th December – 11th December 2011
The main topic of the second project meeting was to present and to analyze the returned questionnaire by each partner organization. At next the partner from Greece, Poland, France, Italy and Germany presented their interview results. A clear result is:
Teaching disadvantaged people , teacher need empathy, sensibility and idealism. Not only knowledge about the subject but a lot of different social competences.
Gustavo Almela Castellano gave a good example from his practice in teaching language:
The typical way to teach grammar is to explain and to write. But he draws funny pictures on the board which are usable to explain the grammar. In this way the pupils start laughing and learning.
The summary of the analyzed questionnaires is:
Disadvantaged pupils in adult education need practical examples from their daily live and a practical way to teach them.
Next Manuel Mari Puig presented another course conception from Spain.
The target group was senior women who wanted to learn reading, writing and computer using. The method to teach them based on their daily life and individual interests. By writing their own newspaper with examples from their own life the pupils were motivated to learn reading and writing and how to use the computer as well. Mr. Manuel Marti Puig pointed the importance of motivation of the target group. Therefore teacher needs different methods to bring all-day life into the classroom.
To continue the survey of creative teaching methods for disadvantaged pupils, the partner will collect best examples in each participating country. They will be presented during the next meeting. They way how the examples will be structured and presented in a common way, the partner will decide during the next meeting.
