ETWINNING PROJECT 2017-18    CULTURAL HERITAGE TRIVIA

Students from two countries – Greece and Spain – will try to know a little bit better their culture and the culture of the countries around us. Culture involves identity and the best way to respect other cultures, languages and identities is to know them. This project is created to help our students and ourselves to improve that knowledge. This will help us feel proud of our own culture, understand others and feel also proud of being European.

After a few weeks spent knowing each other, the project will be divided in several stages, all of them including team work, either national or international:

Stage 1: national teams will prepare some trivia questions about their own country

                           Stage 1 b : students will play and learn about their partners’ culture

Stage 2: in international teams, students will prepare questions about other countries

                          Stage 2b: they will play and see how much they know about Europe

Stage 3: other students will be invited to collaborate in one or other way and contribute to the project

Stage 4: the final trivia will be prepared, both digital and paper; the digital version will be uploaded on the twinspace; if possible, we will use a tool that allows other people to access and play the game as well. The paper version will be made by each country and sent to the other.

As trivia questions involve many different topics, other teachers will be invited to take part in this project, expected to be open and multidisciplinary.

The twinspace will be the place used to keep in touch – email, chat, forum- and to upload all the activities and materials, and to show the whole process. ; videoconference will be used too.

With regards to ICT, we will try to help students know and use some tools they will find useful and easy to use such as padlet, lino, popplet,  tagxedo, aurasma, QRs, surveymonkey, google docs, answer garden, among others.

English will be the lingua franca, but we won’t forget that other languages are important too, so we will take that into account when preparing our questions and of course, we will include some activities to let our students have a first contact with the language spoken by their partners.
