Hand in Hand for World Heritage

Description

eTwinning project 'Common Heritage Areas' which we completed made us realize the fact that students aren't aware what World Heritage is, what world heritage areas are and why they are important for the mankind. Their interest and curiosity increased as they started to read about them, learnt about them and visited some of them in their countries. The virtual exchanges on Twinspace made a great difference in recognition of heritage areas in different parts of the world. In this respect, we wanted to deal with the same topic with the same partners with different activities with physical mobility.The main aim of this project is to raise awareness to the importance and preservation of cultural and natural heritage areas.In this project, the students will have the chance to participate in different activities by cooperating with students from different nationalities. This collaboration will enable them to improve their language skills and to show respect and tolerance to other cultures and their values. The students will involve in various activities which require wide use of IT tools such as applications, ipads, computers, cameras, smart phones etc. As students will produce their own materials and products with different perspectives in different contexts, they will become more responsible and self-confident individuals.The partner schools are our eTwinning partners, Italy and Romania. The key teachers have worked together on eTwinning project and have mutual trust and respect for each other.The students are 15-18 years old. 4 students and 2 teachers from each country will join international visits. The students will be chosen by the election team in each school in accordance with evaluation criteria for a fair selection.Students will visit cultural or natural heritage areas in Romania, Italy and Turkey; Amphitheatre of Capua and Royal palace of Caserta in Italy, Salt Lake, Capadoccia and The Kızılırmak Delta in Turkey, Wooden Churches of Maramures and Dacian Fortresses of the Orastie Mountains in Romania. Students are expected to prepare a documentary film 'Hand in Hand for Culture' in Italy, prepare a 'Quiz Show' in Romania and organize a Cycling Event 'Hand in Hand for Nature' with their own designed t-shirts in Turkey. All activities are based on observation, interaction, active involvement and production.The cycling event will help students to direct their attention to environmental values by observing the bird species in their own habitat and learn how important is to show concern for nature. The local media will be invited to attract public attention. In addition, Students will sing their partners' folk songs in Italy with an aim to enrich cultural diversity in a positive environment. Experiencing other cultures will let students learn to show respect, tolerance and sensitivity toward other cultures. Students will learn through experience with students from different culture and background. All activities will contribute a lot to their cognitive, social, emotional and intellectual development.During the visits, students will take photos, videos and make interviews to produce their own authentic visual materials for the activities in each visit and for the booklet. In addition, technology is an indispensable tool in each stage of the project since students will make use of various IT tools for all activities in each visit.After the visits, in each partner school students will prepare a booklet about cultural and natural heritage areas they have been with their authentic visuals taken during their visits.The booklet in printed version will be distributed to partner schools, local authorities and organizations, local press.The online booklet will be shown on project webpage, school website and project's Youtube channel. As a part of dissemination activities, a seminar will be held in each school and in a different high school by each partner in their own countries to share the project activities and results with other students. On national educational websites, on school magazine and on school's webpage all project activities will be displayed. Students will broadcast youtube channel and publish a project webpage by which different groups of people can be informed about our project.With the help of Kahoot Application for the 'quiz-show' in Romania, the questions prepared by the participants will remain on the application and open to everyone. Anyone in the world can join the Kahoot and try to answer the questions anytime. The quiz show questions won't address only to participants or the students in Romania but also to anyone in the world who is interested in World Heritage Areas.The project activities will be avaible on national and international level.
