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!

Our Sustainable Holiday Trip

   

Like every year our students get involved in eTwinning projects. Our sustainable Holiday Trip is a multidisciplinary project including schools from Tunisia, Italy and Romania. The idea of the project revolves around the theme of Sustainable Holidaying. Holidaying is a well-thought of enterprise. As such, we need to make the right choices and decisions. We should not only take in consideration our budget, our interests and needs but also think of the impact our activity may have on the climate, the environment and the planet . That’s why in our project “Our Sustainable Holiday Trip” our purpose is to foster a sustainability mindset by helping the students develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to think, plan and act with empathy, responsibility, and care for our planet through the theme of holidaying. The 3rd grade maths  students with their partners   will thoughtfully design sustainable holiday brochures or videos collaboratively.

The project aims at the students to : 

• gain knowledge about the SDGs by investigating the aspects of sustainability in general and in the context of a holiday trip in particular
• examine the values and behaviours that will contribute to a sustainable future
• create a plan for a sustainable holiday trip as a way to act for a sustainable future
• develop English language skills
• develop life skills of collaboration, communication , critical thinking, problem-solving, flexibility, and self-regulation
• develop and foster the students digital competence
• learn to learn , to manage one's learning and to think critically
