The movie night (evening, actually) took place in one nice classroom, on 18 December, after school. We chose a movie called "The Theory of Everything", based on student's opinions and the newness of a movie, as well as a scientific/romantic theme, which is likely to interest many people in Lyceum.
At first we needed to arrange the event with school's administration and CAS coordinator, we needed to crystalize the idea and make concrete, this required group work, planning skills. Then we had to find a nice classroom and think of the setting, food, time, information etc. Finally, we decided to create a cozy comfortable atmosphere by bringing blankets and pillow from home and making the seats on tables, also; with regards to food, we asked classmates to cook some food and to share it (what was their CAS too), we ourselves organized tea, napkins, cutlery and the table functioning as a snack bar. me myself, I took tangerines and home-cooked pop corns, which took quite a lot of effort to make. The information about the event was posted by my Laura in Facebook, also, real posters were hung in the school.
On the day of the event, we three came an hour earlier to make all the things ready: we brought in the blankets and pillows, food etc. It was all going fine, but technical part went with difficulties: we couldn't connect laptop (in which the movie was) to the projector and later we had problems with sound quality. Finally, all the trouble were solved by our cooperation and smart- creative thinking. There were approximately 25 people in the movie night, some of them said they really enjoyed the movie, the atmosphere and the food. All of us went home happy and relaxed. Of course, we had also to stay to clean everything after the event, but that was not a problem, some people helped us.
I hope this movie night event, although fresh in Lyceum, will become a more frequent phenomenon, and more and more people will come to enjoy good movie with a great, familiar company! Looking back, I think that the most challenging parts were forming a reliable and active organization group and also the technical difficulties on the day of the event. Anyways, I am pleased to say it all went really great!
