twinspace-logo

We propose a cultural project. We are a rural school in the Larnaca District of Cyprus. We would like to start our project by the end of September and work during the whole school year. Student are 9-12 years old and will work around one hour per week. Students will learn about other European heritage cultures in order to understand, value and respect, learn to care and protect and finally enjoy what passed on from past generations to us. They also compare cultural heritage among the participating countries and find similarities and differences. Students will present their cultural heritage: Tangible: historical monuments and buildings, archaeological sites as well as natural environment (rural landscapes, coasts and shorelines, agriculture heritage) Intangible: language, traditions, myths, legends and traditional fairy tales, traditional music, dances, food, games, clothes, performing arts, social practices, traditional craftsmanship, etc. Mobile artefacts: paintings, drawings, prints, mosaics, sculptures Students will use web 2.0 tools and ICT in order to present their cultural heritage to their colleagues. The project will be carried out by students in collaboration with their teachers and maybe with local authorities (tourism organization, museums, etc).
