Projektaktiviteter
Meet Your Partner Class
Students watch a welcome video from their partner class, exchange introduction cards or short recorded messages, and discuss what they already know about their partner's country. The class then votes on which cultural categories (food, music, landmarks, celebrations, games, traditions) to include in their own virtual suitcase.
Research and Prepare Your Cultural Suitcase
Working in small groups, students research one assigned cultural category (e.g., traditional food, music, celebrations, landmarks) and gather images, facts, and personal stories. Each group creates a short explanation (written, drawn, or recorded) for why their chosen item is important to their community and culture.
Exchange and Explore Partner Cultures
Each class shares its completed suitcase items with the partner class through a shared digital space or forum. Students explore the partner class's work, ask thoughtful questions in writing or short video messages, and record their discoveries and reactions about what they learned.
Design and Build Your Shared Cultural Museum
Students from both classes work together (asynchronously or in a final video call) to organize and combine all cultural items into one shared digital exhibition, interactive map, or online museum. They decide how to arrange the content, add connecting themes that show both similarities and differences, and create a guide for visitors.
Celebrate and Reflect on Our Shared Exhibition
Both classes view the completed shared museum together (live or recorded). Students reflect on what they learned about their own culture and their partner's culture, share their favorite discoveries, and discuss how the project helped them understand and respect cultural diversity.
