Project Activities
🌎What is happening in our world?
Students explore what global issues are and discuss the challenges that threaten peace and development around the world. They then share real examples from their own countries, such as news stories, local events, or personal experiences, showing how global issues affect their communities.
💡What can we do?
Students discuss what they can do to help address the global issues they explored. They brainstorm and share ideas for actions they can take in their daily lives or communities. Then, the two classes exchange their ideas and choose one action they can carry out together.
🤝Take Action Together!
Working together with the partner class, students choose one global issue and one action they can both take to help address it. Students carry out the same action in their own schools during the agreed period. They document their actions through photos, videos, and short reflections, and share their results on Padlet. Finally, students look at each other’s results and reflect on what changes their small actions may have made.
