Halina Bednarz 2007-09-23


Presentation: http://www.youngdiplomats.zsei.info/photo/displayimage.php?album=94&;pos=8 Introduction Students become the ambassadors of the other country. Participating schools will choose one other country across continents to become ambassadors for that country in their own local community. A member of our project “International Ambassadors” should represent the chosen country: Asia: Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, Europe: Slovenia, France, Denmark, Poland, Italy, Cyprus

1. They will study traditions and prepare multimedia presentations (ppt / flash) of national celebrations for online publishing and/or quizzes about that country to create an online bank of educational resources.

2. Additionally, the schools should make contact with the embassy of the chosen country for an interview and prepare a presentation/exhibition to promote that country in their local community.

3. Furthermore, they should prepare a celebration and/or take part in one national holiday or event in the chosen country and send a multimedia report for online publishing.

Cross-continent activities, like common international projects on a particular subject, would be warmly welcomed.
Example: schools from Poland and Japan are working on common a presentation about Japanese Gardens with photos and movies of Japanese Garden in Wroclaw/Poland…
