No to Discrimination eTwinning Project

 

The Science and Maths third grade students took part in an interdisciplinary , bilingual eTwinning project dealing with fighting different forms of discriminations . There was a quality exchange between all the students from Bachir Nabheni High school and their peers from other schools in France, Romania and Italy. The project is both in French and English. 

"Non à la discrimination" No to Discrimination  project aims to be interdisciplinary, unifying and effective.

Through the activities, we want to bring the students to:

• become aware of the seriousness of discrimination,
• become familiar with collective projects and strengthen their sense of belonging to a large heterogeneous community by developing the notions of diversity and solidarity through several ideas: games, screenings, group actions, etc.
• become future good, respectful citizens who act actively to fight against unfair practices and communicate human values ​​such as mutual aid, the rejection of prejudices and inequalities.
• have a sense of commitment to solidarity actions.
• be sensitive to the duty of memory by studying the history of characters who fought discrimination in their time through personal or collective actions.
• learn to unmask discriminatory practices.
• use as many  ICT tools as possible provided by the eTwinning platform or elsewhere.

The different activities of the project were rich and culminated in the creation of a card game to help inform learners and people who play it in general about the fight against discrimination of many people nowadays and history. 

Bravo to our students and to their peers from the other partner schools. Below is our card game have fun discovering it!

About the eTwinpreneurs Project

One of the eTwinning activities that the Nabheni students took part in this school year 2019-2020, was the eTwinpreneurs. 3 teachers from Bachir Nabheni took part in the project. 

They collaborated with their students and other teachers and students from schools in Europe and Jordan. The infographic below gives you a brief idea about the project. 

Looking Ahead to the Future: Grandma Stories in 2080

    We definitely still cherish our childhood memories of our grandparents telling stories. Most of us would not remember most of those stories. And I'm afraid that one day we lose that cultural heritage. Because it is important for the future generations to be rooted in their own culture and open to other nations, Grandma Stories in 2080 is a collaborative writing project that starts from the partner countries cultural heritage of tales grandparents or parents would tell their grandchildren/children. Furthermore, stories are powerful tools for education and to create change. Through storytelling, students reflect on serious issues such as environment, quality education, gender equality, peace, and justice while developing their language skills and creativity! The students taking part in the project co-write Grandma Stories to her grandchildren. As for the themes evoked in the stories, they are inspired from the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

 

    Grandma Stories in 2080 is an eTwinning collaborative story writing project. That includes 3 schools from Tunisia and  other schools from European countries. 

   

    As mentioned above this is a collaborative project that promotes cultural understanding through digital storytelling. The students from the different countries in the project collect stories narrated by their grandmathers in their native language and share them online in the form of podcasts and subtitled videos. The following padlet is a collection of the Tunisian stories translated to English by the Tunisian students.  

    Through listening to the diffrent stories, the students notice the structure of a narrative in order to write one. They also notice that there are similarities in fairy tales in different countries with more or less some change. The years of 2080's will be a time when the students taking part in the project would be grandparents. In this project, they write their own stories, the stories they would tell to their grandchildren, inspired from the #SDGs. What is particularly worth noting is that the project goes beyond merely sensitizing the students about global issues to  urging them to take action  to tackle real world problems and write a better version story of their future.

You can find here the final products of the project with a description of the collaborative process.

"Don't Change the World, be the Change you Want to See in it!"

 
 Done in the framework of the campaign to collect plastic caps to help a student with special needs get a wheel chair.  We give the recycler the quantity of plastic caps we collected in exchange of an amount of money (relative to the quantity of collected caps) , Emel Tounes can then get the wheel chair. By such deeds you give hope to people, you act for your community, you change someone's life. The podcast and the campaign aim at raising students and the community awareness of those in need, and that help can be sometimes a random act of kindness. The motto used was "Don't change the world, be the change you want to see in it!"

World AIDS Day

 Like every year, Bashir  Nabheni  High  School  celebrates World AIDS Day. This day is very important for the people affected to feel that the world cares about them even if it is one day avery year. During the event,  we will have the opportunity to raise pupils awareness about AIDS, dig into this disease, as we will discuss several topics such as its causes, how to protect ourselves, and more importantly, how to deal with people who have this disease. A lot of people affected with AIDS prefer the choice of isolation from the outside world because they fear the reaction of the community that is sometimes harsh and because they feel they are segregated against. Also note that theTunisian Red Crescent will be present.  

Be there tomorrow, Monday, the first of December 2014, at ten o'clock in the morning at the school yard.
