OUR SCHEDULE
indoMIT@S eTwinning
This is a project based on learning experiences between different High Schools located in Pilsen (Czech Republic), Basauri and Mieres ( both in Spain) and Rødovre (Denmark).
GOALS
Analyze the mythological figures of each country from a critical perspective through history and how the are present in our daily life, in many cases, without even being aware. Morever, the students research in the media the impact of these characters on society. Among the different activities that will be carried throughout this course, they will look for real examples in advertisements, in order to later create their own example, indoMIT@, coperatively.
Job - shadowing
By attending the diverse lectures in Gymnazium Lud'ka Pika, we took notes on how other methodologies and strategies are being used within the Czech educational system.
GOALS
Visualize the teaching techniques within the classrooms, relationships between teacher and students. In addition, we were also given the opportunity to share and present the Basque Country and diffente teaching ways.
Collaborations
As well as attending the lectures, we collaborated actively: we did some presentations and gave some classes.
Cultural immersion
In order to understand the Czech educational system from a global perspective, we visited the most remarkable places in Pilsen, as well as the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague.
The culture is an essential piece of each country, therefore, we could not miss on that wonderful area of this interesting puzzle!
