About Project
In this project, students will explore how Intercultural Exchanges Foster Global Citizenship. Students will select one partner country and delve into its culture, values, traditions and perspectives. Through this focused study, they will learn how engaging with another culture can promote mutual respect and global understanding. The final task will be to design a School-Based Intercultural Event centred on the chosen country. Students will collaborate with classmates to propose activities, presentations and displays that showcase the partner country’s culture and values. Students are encouraged to find common ground with the partner country’s culture to highlight shared human experiences. Finally, students will present an event plan to inspire the school community to embrace cultural diversity and inclusivity, demonstrating how such exchanges contribute to global citizenship.
