Interculturalism:

Short description

Culture is a broad concept, but our project has foscused on heritage, superstitions, customs, traditions, idioms, proverbs, gastronomy, or any other area that has interested the students. Europe has a wide and varied range of materials incorporated by tradition, but also enriched with elements "imported" from other continents. The aim of the project has been to familiarize students with the richness of European cultures and improve mutual understanding between students of different ethnic backgrounds, while developing their communication and ICT skills in foreign languages. as a means of communication and expression. Collaboration and cultural encounter is a way to broaden students' horizons, and the interdisciplinary nature of the project helps develop basic skills.

Aims

In this project, students have gained a strong intercultural understanding, which involves knowledge and awareness of other cultures. Its goal has been to develop a deeper understanding of the differences and cultural richness of peoples. The objectives that we have assessed are: 

• Cultural Awareness and Expression: Project participants have had the opportunity to become familiar with a diversity of cultures and develop positive values and attitudes, including treating others with respect.

• Communication in Foreign Languages: Students have used English to communicate and practice their language skills.

• Digital competence: they have used a series of interesting ICT tools and therefore develop ICT skills.

• Social and Civic Skills and Cultural Awareness and Expression: Students have learnt from activities, events, and festivals that celebrate diverse cultural aspects.

Work process

At the beginning of the project, all the participants have presented their schools, cities, countries. A contest has been launched for the creation of the logo for the project. The best works are displayed on the TwinSpace and one has been chosen by a vote of the students. The students have formed teams of international reporters and work on the themes in order to create their tourist guides.

Result

The final product idea has been several tourist guides prepared in international groups with tourist itineraries and information about could be visited, done, eaten,... in each visited place.
