For teachers of the Associated schools wishing to participate in this initiative, we present the following approach to the proposal:
1. Choose a theme:
The poems are chosen considering the four main subjects of study in the ASP Network
- Education for Sustainable Development
2. Prepare the poems with your students
Choose poems in the original language referring to the selected topics, you can also submit poems created by students or teachers.
Incorporate international signs to the main ideas of the chosen fragment (between 4 and 10 lines). It can be done manually or with the computer (or even off-line, using a character table)
Present texts to students and explain them how to make the international gestures to illustrate the main ideas.
Help ( to make this easier)
3. Create a video and post.
Make a video of each poem with the presentation made by the students in the original language accompanied by international gestures.
Make upload of this video to YouTube (or another video streaming website)
Obtain written parental permission for the dissemination of these images
Request your school´s director/principal to fill the authorization approval for the dissemination of images (using this model, in text or image).
4. Send us the link
Send the YouTube video link by email, as well as a copy of the statement of authorization for dissemination of images and a copy of the text with the international signs to the following address:
yogote.coordinator @ gmail.com
You should send us also to the same address the additional information for each poem.
Our intention is to present the website in the World Poetry Day (March 21) an to publish the poems of all countries in september 2013.
Your work will be included in the collective Website, presenting the poems from the world in different languages and international gestures to show that the Values present at the ASPnet projects are universal.
"You and your students will be presenting your country, your language and your culture to the world"
NEW! You can already visit the website and see how the poems are presented in it:
