Collaboration
COMMUNICATIONLiving Peacefully with our Neighbours Students work together to create a set of rules and tips on how to maintain good relationships with their neighbours. Their ideas are then presented in a poster. Example tool: Canva InfographicsCare for the Environment: Create an Eco-Friendly Home a. Students research, discuss and share their ideas through a mindmap on what an environmentally friendly house should include. b. They share photos of their own houses (photos from the whole building or photos from specific rooms). All these photos are uploaded to a folder in the photo gallery of the project’s TwinSpace. Each student selects one or more of the uploaded photos and turns it into an interactive image by adding text, videos or links to the photos, in order to suggest ideas to make their partners’ houses more sustainable. Example tools: Mindmeister , ThinglinkProblem solving in our Neighbourhoods a. Students share the problems that they face in their neighbourhood with their partners and ask them to suggest ways to solve them. Example tool: Tricider b. Students can attend a city council meeting and present the problems of their neighbourhood and the possible solutions they and their partners have suggested. They can share photos and comments on their experience in the TwinSpace Forum. COLLABORATIONTake Action! Students team up in transnational groups and agree on proposals to make their school neighbourhood more beautiful (pick up litter, paint the school walls, plant trees or flowers etc.). Each group has to find creative ways to communicate the campaign and find as many supporters (teachers, parents, local community) as possible (for example write a leaflet/poem/ song, design a poster and logo, make a video or radio advert etc.). Each transnational group works collaboratively and the final products are uploaded to an activity page on the TwinSpace, specifically created for this activity. Example tools: https://docs.google.com Welcome to our multicultural neighbourhood! Ask students to imagine that they all live in the same neighbourhood and that they have decided to organise a party to welcome some new neighbours. Students work in transnational groups to prepare an invitation and plan for the party. Students vote for the best invitation and plan. Each partner country is invited to participate in the ‘virtual’ party by preparing traditional food, songs, dances, games etc. A live session is planned by the participating teachers in the TwinSpace and all students take part by sharing recipes, songs, games etc. from their countries.
