We live in an age when the vast majority of teenagers dream of becoming professional YouTube creators. Teachers can either complain or see an excellent opportunity there. 

The project Let's Vlog! gives students an opportunity to develop their skills while doing what they love.

Students will discuss their favourite YouTubers, analyse popular videos, learn about e-safety and first of all, they will create their own videos. They will vlog in English about anything they find interesting - they can talk about their daily lives, their skills and interests, make tutorials etc. They will learn how to promote their work, there will be collaborative tasks and a competition, peer evaluation will be used as well. Besides, teenagers dream of becoming famous. So we will let them experience that. There will a magazine about new YouTube stars (our students) where they will be introduced and interviewed. The final activity will be project evaluation.

Our goals

• Promote understanding among nations, friendship and international collaboration;
