During the party the two videos movie, final product of the PINOKIO project implementation in class, were presented to the audience.

and: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9GWgi_W5iE)
Moreover Jolique told the actual ending of the Turakeneraniye story, the tale from Burundi he told (but hìonly the first half!) during the first meeting and that originated the children tales and movies. Then there was a really appreciated Italian/Burundi food buffet and parents could also see all the steps of the PINOKIO project followed by their children looking at the paper panelling on the walls.
It was really a magic party, especially thanks to the enthusiasm of the teachers, of Jolique, of the pupils and all the participants!

P.IN.O.K.I.O INVITED AT THE DI.VA ROUND TABLE
27-28 September 2010 Genua (IT)
The P.IN.O.K.I.O. project has been presented during the round table organized by the DiVa project team on September 27-28 in Genua (IT).
The DiVa project, supported by the European Commission, aims to gather projects in the field of Education and Training, which highlight good practices in terms of Dissemination and Exploitation of the project. The issue at stake is ‘How to get sustainable and usable results once a project ends?’. As observed in many cases, the results and products created by Education and training projects are often under-exploited and therefore, not used when the projects end.
At this occasion, P.IN.O.K.I.O. and 8 other education and training projects shared their experience as for dissemination and exploitation strategies, and elected project which displayed the best strategy. P.IN.O.K.I.O. project will be highlighted in a ‘Best practices Catalogue’ published by the DiVa project’s team.
