HOTW: Can You See What We Say is a unique and inclusive intercultural project that unites learners from around the world through music and Makaton.  In the following short video, Sharon Tonner-Saunders explains why she created HOTW.

Pedagogical innovation and creativity were at the heart of HOTW.  The following presentation provides information about:

•  Goals and aims of the project;
•  The journey of the project from the destination (initial plans/ scheme of work), sailing across a sea that hit a storm (learning activities and changes) to the final destinations (the many completed activities).

Curricular intergration was rich and diverse in this project due to the age range spanning from 3 years to 18+, many different levels of abilities, cultural difference within curriculums and pedagogical approached alongside the many differerent teachign and learning contexts.  The following presentation provides information about:
