The minutes from the U-Knight Europe meeting outline plans for upcoming country visits and cultural exchanges between participating countries. [1] Poland will start a round-robin storytelling activity where each country contributes a few sentences to a collaborative story. [2] Preparations were discussed for Portugal's upcoming hosting of a visit, including illustrations of children's initials, log books, and a medieval song. [3] Cyprus was selected to host the following visit in October 2012 during its Medieval Festival. [4] Responsibilities were assigned for newsletters and evaluations to document activities from the meetings and trips.

1. U- Knight Europe
Minutes - 15/03/12 – Ecole Saint Anne, Loudeac
Present – France, England, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Spain, Finland, Cyprus
1. Ping Pong Story
Order: Poland – Finland – Italy – Holland – Portugal – Cyprus – England – Spain – France and
repeat so each country has written twice.
Once the story has been completed it should be made into a book. A digital one or a paper one
could be produced. It is entirely up to you. It is possible to do both. Countries can choose. This
should be finished by September 2012.
After each country has written some sentences it should be sent to the next country on the list and
all the other countries so that they can read it to their children.
2. Portugal Visit
May 2nd – May 6th 2012
Hold knights ceremony in school and show in Portugal – if not complete explain why in the
evaluation.
We will make beautiful illustrations of the first letters of children’s names. A maximum of 6
should be taken to Portugal to display. They should be A4 size.
These letters are usually found at the start of old fashioned books. (For example, my name is
Kathryn, so I would draw a large K in the middle of the paper and draw patterns and
pictures coming from it.)
Everyone should take their log books to Portugal. (This book is to collect evidence of all the
activities which have been carried out by your country.)
Kasia will also explain how to fill in the end of Year 1 report.
Portugal will also organise the medieval song.
The ping pong story will also be read.
