The idea was once born in the picturesque seaside town called Budva in Montenegro. It was during one of the workshops for teachers from 17 countries who decided to team up and let their students experience a similar cultural exchange.
Intercultural exchange
The aim of this project is to learn about other cultures and communicate with them successfully. We will share and learn with and from each other. We will use different strategies to understand and be understood by others. We will use our critical and creative thinking skills to complete the tasks.
It will all broaden our horizons and help us look at our own cultures from different perspectives. Maybe we will even make lifelong friendships, too!
Hands-on experience
When and how do we learn best? Of course, by doing and experiencing the world! The project is surely a great opportunity to talk and interact with peers from other countries. We will write articles, create surveys, solve common problems and take part in quizzes and contests. Finally, we will comment on each others’ work and reflect on the overall experience.
How are we going to do all of these to achieve a common goal? We are going to use the available tools (including English!) and technologies which make everyday communication easy regardless of the distance.
Having said that, we are all looking forward to this amazing experience! It is going to start very soon and will last till May 2019.
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegowina, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland have already joined the project. Will anyone else be interested?
