⚽🌍 UNIVERSAL GAME – Football for All

Students share personal stories and ideas about sport, belonging, and inclusion in a whole-class discussion. The teacher introduces the project goal and partner class, then students brainstorm what questions they want to ask their community.

Students design and conduct interviews with classmates, teachers, family members, and local community figures (including athletes and people with disabilities if possible) to gather diverse perspectives on sport, belonging, and inclusion. They record responses using audio notes, written summaries, or simple video clips, and organize their findings by theme.

Students participate in the guided football challenge where one person is blindfolded while a partner gives verbal directions to place and kick a ball. After the activity, students reflect in small groups on what they learned about trust, communication, and empathy, then connect these insights to their interview findings.

Students compile their interview summaries and empathy challenge reflections into a short written or visual summary (infographic, concept map, or brief report) that highlights key themes about inclusion in their community. They share these materials with the partner class via the Class2Class platform and review the partner class's findings to identify similarities and differences.

Students join a live video call with the partner class to discuss their findings, ask questions about how inclusion is understood differently across communities, and share what surprised them. The conversation is guided by a simple set of discussion prompts prepared in advance.

Working in small groups, students use insights from interviews, the empathy challenge, and the partner-class exchange to design one concrete, inclusive football activity or rule change that could work in both their community and the partner class's context. Groups present their ideas in a final showcase, explaining how their plan addresses barriers to inclusion they discovered.

Students prepare and conduct interviews with adapted sport athletes, coaches, or professionals to learn about their experiences, the rules of adapted football, and practical ways to make sport more inclusive. Students compile key insights into a slides presentation to share with their partner class.
