Project Activities
Sports in Our Community: Getting to Know Each Other
Students share their favorite local sports or physical activities and explain why they matter in their community. This warm-up helps students connect with classmates and introduces the idea that sports and activities reflect local culture and values.
Documenting Local Sporting and Social Activities
Students research, observe, and collect stories, photos, or videos of sporting and social activities happening in their own communities. They record what they find, who participates, and what skills or values these activities teach.
Live Exchange: Sharing Stories and Asking Questions
Students from both classes meet via video call to share their documented activities, ask questions, and discover similarities and differences in how sports and community activities build skills, friendships, and positive change in different places.
Comparing and Creating Together
Working in small groups with their international partners (asynchronously or in follow-up sessions), students analyze what they learned, identify common themes across communities, and create a joint reflection or infographic showing how sports and social activities support sustainable development in both places.
Presenting Our Learning to the School Community
Students present their findings, photos, videos, and joint creations to the school, explaining what they discovered about how sports build community, skills, and positive change locally and globally. They reflect on what surprised them and what they learned from their international peers.
