The YoGoTe project and the UNESCO Associated Schools Program

(UNESCO-ASP Network )

The UNESCO Associated Schools Program (UNESCO-ASP) is an international collaboration network in which more than 8000 schools around the world share the educational goals and objectives set by UNESCO. YoGoTe international signs have been present in this network of schools on several occasions.

• Japan: Hagoromo Gakuen High School, Osaka (2007)

• Turkey: Bursa Anadolu Lisesi, Bursa (2011)

Network of Language Clubs

The experiences carried out so far provide a basis for proposing the construction of a network where schools from different countries belonging to the ASP-UNESCO network can share the following project:

Each school (we will name your country as A) would create several language clubs where students (as well as teachers and parents) would start learning some basic facts about the language they have chosen (using language lessons based on international gestures, as well as any other material available) and the country where it is spoken (which we will name as B).

-Any school in this country B with a club interested in language A can provide the best language teachers for members of the above, because both clubs would be using the same lessons based on common international gestures.
