2. How come children will find this project unforgettable and unique?
With our project, students will be learning in a very dynamic and progressive method
doing activities such as cooking or dancing traditional dances from different countries in
order to assimilate knowledge about culture, religion, history of different civilizations and
how different societies around the world work.
Since teaching about culture, religion, ethics and history of civilizations is a very
complex task and often children arent very interested in these types of issues, we think
that through games, debates and dynamic activities children can assimilate more easily
about these issues and in the same time, they will find the subject worthwhile and
enjoyable.
Our education (in Catalonia) is still based on a very traditional method of teaching,
where the teacher is the person who regulates and organizes everything in a class.
Therefore students have only one simple task to do: listen and note what the teacher
says. This is why, our project its more student-centered.
The main leading characters in class are not the teachers, but the students, who will be
given more freedom to do the tasks using their own method and style and they will have
to be responsible of their own work. Teachers role in our project is mainly to support
and supervise studentswork and process.

method.
