25 jaar Rota

de beginselen
Editoriaal D Dit nummer van Haec Olim-Collage geeft een overzicht van 25 jaar internatio- nale werking met vijf Europese scholen. Wij hebben geen weet van een project dat langer standhoudt, zelfs nog steeds springlevend is. Toen in 1991 de groep voor het eerst samenkwam bestond er nog geen ‘Comenius’. Er waren alleen bilaterale uitwisselingen om de talenkennis in Europa te stimuleren. Wij mogen dus terecht fier zijn om het pionierswerk dat tussen de deelnemende scho- len is gebeurd: Hattingen, Lincoln, Zaragoza, Sarlat, Schijndel, Tres Cantos en Brugge. Dat is een voldoende reden om uit de archieven zaken te plukken die de herinnering aan die fantastische jaren levendig te houden. Bij dit nummer kreeg ik hulp van Griet De Brul voor het opzoekingswerk en de selectie van de teksten; Danny Van Tieghem bracht de archieven bij elkaar. Hartelijk dank vooral aan allen die Rota ‘on the field’ hebben opgebouwd: de talrijke leerkrachten uit de genoemde scholen en de meer als tweeduizend leer- lingen die bij het project betrokken waren.

Mes Amies,
C’est un très grand honneur pour moi de pouvoir vous souhaiter le bienvenu au
Collège Saint Louis à Bruges. J’en suis persuadé que cet heure, cette journée avec
vous tous, sera qualifié comme un moment historique. Nous sommes ensemble afin
d’échafauder une structure internationale entre écoles secondaires. Je le ressent
comme un travail de pionnier.
Pendant les dernières années, Le Collège Saint Louis a organisé plusieurs rencontres
internationales. Je veux mentionner les échanges bilatéraux entre des écoles Belges,
francophones et néerlandophone, qui continuent à exister. Ces contacts sont le fil
rouge de nos rencontres interculturelles : les visiteurs ont presque le même pro-
gramme que les élèves de notre école. Suivre les cours dans une autre école est déjà
une expérience de XX
Il y a deux ans qu’on a essayé une autre formule lors de notre fameux ‘British Day’.
Pendant une journée l’école Britannique de Bruxelles, était notre hôte. C’était une
journée de discussions très intéressantes. De même notre expériment l’année passée
auquel le Gymnasium de Hattingen a participé. Pendant ces trois jours d’approfon-
dissement dans la problématique de l’Europe unifié, on a été honoré de la visite
de notre ministre de l’éducation, Mr. Coens, et de l’ancien premier ministre M. Leo
Tindemans.
Comme je le disait tantôt, nous nous trouvons à l’aube d’un nouveau temps. Le
monde psychologique de nos élèves s’agrandit. Ils vivent dans un monde beaucoup
plus vaste que le nôtre à l’âge de 17 ans. Il est nécessaire de leur apprendre à vivre
dans une réalité multiculturelle. Voilà le premier but de notre rencontre.
Deuxièmement il faut créer une structure qui nous facilite l’organisation d’un
échange. Je crois que le lien d’amitié entre les responsables des diverses écoles,
rend plus facile la construction de nos échanges.
Notre troisième but doit être de poser les fondement sur lesquelles il soit possible
de construire une grande maison européenne. Une maison avec plus que cinq ou six
chambres... J’espère que notre organisation sera de sorte que d’autres écoles soient
intéressées et désireuses à y participer. L’effet multiplicateur est très important.
Je termine en disant que beaucoup de gens ont manifesté une vivante intéresse pour
notre projet. D’abord il y a notre Inspecteur Générale de l’Enseignement Catholique
dans le diocèse de Bruges. Puis le Ministre de l’Enseignement de la Communauté
Flamande, qui lors d’un interview à la radio, a mentionné notre organisation comme
exemple d’une dimension européenne au niveau de l’enseignement secondaire.
Même la Communauté Européenne a été mis au courant. En mars dernier, des direc-
teurs de collèges et de lycées ont tenu un congrès européen à Barcelone. Le repré-
sentant de la Communauté, semble-t-il, a invité les responsables à organiser des
modèles d’échanges qui soit à la fois multinationales et multiplicateurs. Avec l’aide
de l’AFS, j’ai présenté notre rencontre comme exemple d’un tel projet.
Mes amis, je vous offre ce verre en espérant que les journées qui vont suivre seront
intéressantes en enrichissantes.

In 1989 and 1990, 27 years ago, the Sint-Lodewijkscollege already had
some experience with multilateral exchanges. But there were three spe-
cific reasons to start a new project:
• We were looking for schools willing to organise a similar multilateral
project themselves, in which we could then participate of course. A
bit of a lazy attitude, I know.
• We wanted to make a connection with historical cities all over Eu-
How did we start this Rota connection? The first Rota meeting was or-
ganized in Bruges. In 1991 five persons in charge of different schools
came together to discuss a long term cooperation. This cooperation
continues until today and we have every intention to continue it for
many years to come. Even though we had the intention to work side
by side with our students, there was only one youngster around the
table at the time: the 16 year old son of Bernard Podevin from Sarlat.

After an exhausting walk down ‘Steep Hill’, the group arrived at the
Echo offices awaiting a tour from ‘Reg’. After a brief collective photo
session, we climbed four flights of stairs to begin our tour in the ad-
vertising department. From there we proceeded through the accoun-
tants’ section and then to the reporters’ and editors’ area. Following
this, we were shown how a newspaper was put together, printed
and distributed. It was a very interesting experience.

Yesterday the ROTA group went to Liverpool. Arriving at school at
7.30 a.m., everyone’s faces reflected the previous night’s frivolities!
After a three hour coach journey, we approached Liverpool. The
Townscape group were the first to be reluctantly thrown off the bus
in to the bitter cold wind, to visit the city’s Cathedrals. The other
groups went to the “Beatle’s Experience”, and ended the morning
shopping.
After dinner, all the groups went on the ‘Ferry across the Mersey’,
which proved to be a very ‘moving’ experience! (A little English joke!)
In the free time following, the Townscape group had a chance to go
to the “Beatle’s Experience”, whilst the others strolled around the
Albert Docks.
In the evening, we were entertained by “Sir” Ed Korolyk’s band,
which proved to be extremely popular.ROTA III - 1994

The main aim of the Gastronomy group is to prepare and cook the menu
for the meal on Thursday evening. The menu is to remain secret until
then. There will be seven courses and two wines.
The group prepare one section of the meal every day. This involves not
being able to work the computers and wearing ridiculous hats. It also
means to involve being female as there are only three boys in the group.
The meal will be cooked in the school kitchen.
The entire group finds the work interesting. The English and Germans
think that the meal will be difficult to prepare while the French say it will
be easy. The Spanish agree with the French, except for the preparation
of the “foi gras”. The Belgians claim that they simply cannot cook and
therefore any meal would be difficult to prepare. Overall, people seem
to be having more problems with the computers at this stage than with
the food.
However, the menu looks very good and should be delicious on Thursday
night.

Elle travaille à l’élaboration d’un spectacle de mime qui sera pré-
senté vendredi soir à l’ancien théâtre de Sarlat. Le décor et les cos-

Pour éviter les barrières qu’auraient créés les langues, les mime a
été choisi comme moyen d’expression. Le but de ce spectacle est,
outre le fait qu’il permet aux participants de s’exprimer sur scène,
d’amener des jeunes de pays différents à se connaître en travaillant

When we came into the music room, we were all amazed about
the conversation the musicians had without words. The things
they have already achieved as a tight group in such a short time
is astonishing. Each and every one of the members has heaps of
talent. The group is working on improvisations of the Eurovision

The assembly hall looked dark and strange when we entered with pen,
paper and camera. The actors try to lay stress on hands and feet, by
using black-lights and white straps and gloves. For Friday they are
going to interpret some poems from all different nations participating in
ROTA. The meaning of this ROTA project quickly became clear when the
actors had problems communicating. So instead of words, they used
their hands, feet and everything they could possibly lay their hands on.

So what is E-Mail? Many people are under the impression that it is too
technical to understand but this is not so as I have discovered this week.
Not only it is possible to obtain and send out messages to all the other
ROTA schools, it is also possible to gain access to 5 million computers
around the world. The information is sent from the server computer to
the receiver computer via the MODEM and telephone lines. This infor-
mation is decoded by the MODEM so that it can be understood by the

- The preparation was done in arts lessons of the 4th form
- More pupils could thus be involved in the preparatory stages
- The brochure can be used in arts lessons
- The mural is a contribution to the hosting school and is provided
with didactic information in the process of creation.

1. To meet new people and make new friends
2. To achieve curricular outcomes
3. To leave everyone wanting ROTA to continue
Comments of participants:
Several Germans were sure that the week had developed team-
work “working with lots of different nationalities”, while a Belgian
was convinced that the ROTA week had helped him/her learn about
“helping/starting projects”. One British student observed drily that
he thought ROTA will have sparked a development of his letter-wri-
ting skills, while another is encouraged to find out how she might
be able to visit her new friends in the holidays.
A Dane commented that: “being an exchange student opened my
mind to other cultures and I have always found different people
interesting.”
A Spaniard felt his/her attitude to other people had been trans-
formed by “eliminating prejudices and bringing us closer to new
cultures and new forms of understanding life”.Re po r t o n t h e R ot a The games evening

Saint-Louis. Our school was founded in 1834. It was the first college in the
heart of Bruges. The catholic boys’ school soon developed into a highly res-
pected college, where all kinds of subjects are taught, from Greek to eco-
nomics and from biology to sports.
Also the possibilities for extra – cur-
ricular activities for students apart
from the lessons grew. The presi-
dium is an initiative from and for
the students. All kinds of groups
come out with the most creative
ideas. The culture-group shows off
with their free stage, the social-
group kicks off with a concert, the
newspaper brings out hot gossip
and hilarious articles and nature
entertains other students with a lot
of workshops. Being situated in an
historical and a romantic place, our
school has the opportunity to get in
touch with a wide variety of cultures. We have partnerships with a school
in Paraguay and Senegal, an exchange project with the island Pico in the
Atlantic, trips to Greece, the USA, Italy and last but not least ROTA. The fame
and fortune of our school is not only made by the principal and teachers, but
it’s made by the hard word of our students and our daily life. (Ora et labora)ROTA XI - 2002

Workshop scenography
Michiel van Cauwelaert (the artist of the workshop),
how do you define “scenography”?
In a theatre you have a big scene, expressing mostly texts. So with sce-
nography we try to translate those texts into different kind of colours,
forms and materials.
Why did you accept the offer to come to this project?
Well, I’m always working in projects of two or three months. A few
months ago they asked me to participate in this project and I agreed

The room of the cineasts. Eleven o’clock. People are sitting around the
table, listening to their teacher (= the artist Karen Vanderborght). Wat-
ching some video fragments. The engaged teacher wrote the theoretical
parts of their work with the camera on a blackboard. For us, it seemed
to be very schoolish.
Fortunately, this is only one part of their workshop. Every morning they
look to the videotape which they’ve made the day before. Then they
have the theoretical part, and every day they focus on a new subject.
Today they specialized themselves on movements. So, they watched a
fragment of “les glaneurs et la glaneuse”. They discussed a bit about
the camera movement and the fragments they saw.
In the afternoon they occupy themselves with the real filming work by
using their knowledge of the morning. So, if you are in front of a par-
ticipant of the videoteam, be careful because they are watching you!
because I had spare time for this week and I really like to work with
young people.
What do you want to teach during this week?
I don’t want to teach anything. I just want the participants to learn to
interpret poems and express themselves in colours, forms, … .
What do you feel like to work with different nationalities?
Great! They are very enthusiastic. Especially the Czech people are very
creative, but the others too!I n t e r v i ew w it h t h e art ist Lud wi g v an Gijseg em Workshop singing Why did you accept the offer to take part of this project?

A short introduction of some of the eight workshops
P a i nt i n g wit h w at er
In this workshop watercolours and Chines ink will be used. Water will be both inspiration and material. Also different kinds of surfaces will be used
to experiment. Students will work under direction of two artists in a real studio in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. The students should have special interest in
drawing and painting. During the week they will probably visit an artist and/or museum.
Cr e a t i v e writ in g
Under direction of two teachers who write poetry themselves the students will find their inspiration in water-related subjects. Using different types
of paper, ink and calligraphy they create an album which they will construct themselves in a hand bookbinding-shop in ‘s-Hertogenbosch by the
end of the week. Feeling for language as such will come in handy.
Cr e a t i ng a virt u al w at er entertainmentpark
Anything can happen in virtual reality, so students can create their own fantasies in this amusementspark. You don’t need to be a genius but you
must have more than average computerskills. Two teachers with all the knowledge and equipment needed will assist and instruct.
Sc i en c e
The topic will be the cycle of water. Students will research and create a model for a space-shuttle. They will also launch a small rocket in the end,
so their presentation goes ‘booom’. No special skills are needed, just interest in scientific research and experiments.
Co o k i n g
Working with and under a professional cook and baker in a very well equipped kitchen and bakery must be challenge for everyone. In an institute
for deaf children the students will work together with some deaf children. The students will create a professional dinner, they can make some
specialities form their own countries and they’ll learn to prepare some typical Dutch products. Of course, water is a very important ingredient
in kitchen recipes as well as in baking recipes. The Dutch and foreign specialities will be served and presented on Friday, presentation-evening.Vous pouvez aussi lire
