About the project
This project involves students from different countries including students with special needs. These students are going to participate in activities related to a typical painting in their respective country. Activities are shared between the schools through photos and videos.
The aim of this project is to share cultural ideas and increase socialisation between schools from different countries. The students will increase awareness of their own country’s cultural practices through a variety of activities revolving around a typical painting. They will then observe other countries’ cultural practices through the shared photos and videos of the participating schools. Teaching staff will share pedagogical approaches and ideas on how culture education can be delivered to students including those with special needs.
Teachers involved will identify a particular painting which reflects a main cultural practice in their country. They will introduce this painting to their students and originate activities related to different subjects (literacy, art and music). Photos and videos are taken during the delivery of these activities. These are then shared between the schools.
