Student Diaries and Cultural Exchange

The document outlines a proposed plan for a student exchange project between schools in different European countries. It includes having students: 1) create diaries about their everyday lives to exchange in January; 2) draw pictures of traditional costumes and cultural landmarks from partner countries; and 3) write postcards and letters to introduce themselves and their home towns. It also proposes activities like creating a virtual map of Europe, sharing recipes for traditional cuisine in a PowerPoint, and conducting surveys to identify each other's national symbols to place on maps. The goal is for students to learn about each other's daily lives and cultures through sharing art, letters, diaries, and symbolic representations of their home countries.

* Each participant uploads all the necessary data on the project page (emails, school address,
telephones).

* Students write postcards and short letters in which they introduce themselves and then send
them to partner schools. At the same time they upload pictures of themselves and their
town/city and introduce themselves in an Excel file included on the project page. They may also
add a Power Point presentation.

* Partner schools prepare displays of the received postcards and letters, take pictures of them
and upload them in the Excel file.

* Each country adds a picture of regional clothes on the project page. Partners prepare a kind
of a lottery in which schools have to choose one picture and is to draw it and then upload it on
the page. After that we may create real exhibitions of the clothes at schools, take photos and
upload them.
* Creating a Power Point concerning traditional regional cuisine. The presentation should
include photos and recipes.

* In January schools exchange students diaries (about their everyday life) which theyre
supposed to keep from the beginning of the project.

* Schools conduct a surveys concerning national symbols. Theyre supposed to choose three
(e.g. a person, place, etc). They upload pictures of the chosen symbols on the project page.
Then, each country is to prepare a real, big size map of Europe and put the pictures on it. At
the end, we take pictures of them and upload on the project page. We may also create a virtual
map, which would be sent from country to country (in a chain) and gradually filled in with
photos of national symbols.
