eTwinning project : INTANGIBLE
(UNESCO) HERITAGE AROUND EUROPE
Duration: September
2016 –June 2017
About the project
The project involves
students aged from 11 to 14 years old. The aim of the project is to promote
intangible cultural heritage of our own and to learn about the heritage of
different countries by using many different web tools.Through the project
students will improve their ICT skills while learning more about
their partners' heritage, become familiar
with different types of intangible cultural heritage, learn to be part of a
team,improve their communication and language skills, contribute to and
evaluate outcomes and work in an interactive way. The students will benefit from various engaging
activities: they will make presentations and mind maps about different types of
intangible cultural heritage, make a dictionary of important words, design a
logo of the project, make videos, exibitions and video conferences. They will
also make their own traditional jewellery, carneval masks and a cookbook of
traditional recipes. The project will also help the teachers to improve the
strategies used in everyday classes, through creative and innovative approaches
and new technologies, and will offer them a useful tool to achieve the best
results in their work. All our
final products will be available to everyone on our project TwinSpace and blog.
