Project

  • The idea is that each participant country will choose all participant countries. (POLAND, ITALY, SPAIN, NORWAY, ROMANIA, SLOVAKIA, FRANCE and TURKEY) We will work with the students aged between 12-15. Teachers will divide these students into groups by choosing names randomly so that all groups can be equal. After that, each group will choose one country (Teachers may write down the names of the countries on a piece of paper so that all groups can choose the country) and they will start getting information about the countries they choose. For example; they can get information from internet, have interviews with their parents/ teachers, bring posters or pictures , act some short plays about the stereotypes in their minds. After that, they will have a presentation as a group. While presenting teachers or students depending on their abilities will record these presentations. Teachers will upload these materials on twinspace and the coordinator will check these videos. The materials are: videos, record, pictures, posters, acting materials, presentations….
