C4: Sweden

C4 - SE - 18 - 23 March 2019

Participants - 3 students and two teachers per country. The teachers are preferably Religious studies and English, so they can have first-hand experience of the lessons presented by students and coordinate students' work. The students will be selected from the target group of 13 year olds in each school.

Before the exchange, students in each country need to prepare 1 or more Religious studies lessons in English using the digital instruments that were presented during C1. The lessons will give an insight into the specificities of each religion, which is why, depending on the mixture of religious backgrounds, one country may have more than one lesson.

The exchange presupposes four parts:

1. Induction and team building. Participants are given a tour of the school, attend common ice-breaking activities, present their school, education system, city and country and are given a tour of the city.

2. Topic-related activities - workshops are organised in which the students present their lessons. Then students work together to assess in multicultural groups in order to analyse similarities and differences between religions.

Students then attend workshops on digital drawing tools (e.g. MyPaint, Pinta etc.)

3. Attending lessons - students and teachers will be split into smaller groups and be invited to attend interactive Religious Studies lesson dealing with the religions of the host students. Then divided in multicultural groups, they are to create digital artwork entitled "United in diversity" with the new instruments.

4. Feedback and evaluation

- students complete feedback forms on the exchange and its contents;

- participants answer questionnaires about host country.

- certificates of attendance are given and Europass mobility documents are completed and signed.

Throughout the week, cultural events or other team-building activities will be organised by

the host, in order to strengthen the cohesion and cultural dimension of the project.

After the exchange, workshops of transfer of knowledge and practices are held in each institution - both students and teachers are in charge.
