During October 2020, work was proposed using the Peer Coaching Methodology. In this activity, pupils from Edifacoop wrote a Halloween story, in pairs, with the aid of a storytelling game. The results were very amusing and children were happy to work with each other collaboratively.

Portugal – Cooperation Games
On the 30th of October, pupils at Edifacoop took part in the Cooperation Games Day.
Each class participated in a different game where the main goal was not winning, but working as a team and collaborate with each other.
They played “Sheet Ball”, “Blind Drawing”, balancing balls with sticks, “Hula hoop chain” and other games.
Portugal – Responsability Activities
At the beginning of the new school year, pupils crafted a backpack tag for their belongings with the theme of September’s value: Responsibility.
They also create a match pairs memory game with the flags of the project.
Portugal – “Being a child is…” Mural
To celebrate Children’s Day, pupils were asked to write sentences about what it meant for them to be children. As a result, the different words and descriptions were put together in this interactive Mural.
Portugal – Europe Day
Original article on Edifacoop’s website: edifacoop.pt/dia-da-europa
Every year, on Europe Day, commemorated on 9 May, we celebrate peace and unity on the European continent. This date marks the anniversary of the historic “Schuman Declaration”.
In a speech in Paris in 1950, Robert Schuman, the then French Foreign Minister, set out his vision of a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make the outbreak of war between European countries unthinkable.
His vision was to create a European institution to jointly manage coal and steel production. Less than a year later, a treaty was signed creating an entity with these functions. The current European Union is considered to have begun with Schuman’s proposal.
This year Europe Day is celebrated in a different way, through a series of online activities organised by the European institutions, which pay special tribute to citizens helping the European Union overcome the coronavirus crisis. Social distancing strengthens the Union, celebrates cooperation, stirs up creativity and invites us to do more for everyone.
