Activity Description Results (Links)
LoH OPENING ACTIVITY:
European Day of Languages
2014
As a warm-up activity, teachers and students debated the importance of learning
languages and the benefits of plurilingualism. Inspired by this discussion students created
posters composed by an original image (drawing or photo) and a caption in their mother
tongue or a quote by a famous person in the language of that author.
The outcome is a multilingual publication of a collection of selected posters/ postcards

INTERACTION ON THE
TWINSPACE
: getting to know each other
Step 1: After teachers are familiar with the new Twinspace, they register their pupils as
project members.
Step 2: Pupils edit their profiles by uploading a photograph and writing a text tto
introduce themselves to their partners.
Step 3: pupils read their partners profile to discover who they are and leave a comment to
start interacting with them.
Example of a member’s Twinspace profile
MEET OUR TOWN
Partners created animated presentations and videos to show their town and their school
with photos they took of different places: Services, monuments, places they enjoy
spending their time in; and their school (rooms, facilities, indoors and outdoors) with
Captions in mother tongue and English.
As a joint-product, we created an interactive presentation “Discover who we are”.

TEAMING UP for collaborative
project work
Teachers agree on the topics which can be worked within their curriculum with their
classes by filling in a shared google document.
Teams collaborated with their partners by doing research on the topics selected for a
period of about 2/3 months.
In the second semester teams share their results on the discussion forums and comment
on the results oftheir partners’work.
The google document used to match the teams according to their interests:

Show me
a little respect
Someone once said “Courtesy is the shortest distance between two
people”. That sounds easy to fulfil but when it comes to talk to people
from different cultures, we might not be sure that what is respectful in
one culture is respectful in another. Participants research and share
their on the matter giving examples of words, expressions, saying or
gestures that can be offensive in our countries.
