Students have a blog where they can post the activities they have worked on at school and read those of their project partners.
In the teachers’ work space (Moodle) there is the necessary material to design the learning activities: the outline of each typology, the calendar of activities, examples of texts that belong to each typology, rubrics to evaluate the activities, tutorials of the ICT tools we use and a forum for doubts, questions, etc. As in all IEARN Pangea projects, a coordinator accompanies the schools throughout their participation, solving doubts…

Project Description:
Students will share cultures through a visiting soft toy. Through the exchange of a bear or other soft toy, students create digital or hard copy journal entries to share with
their partner class. The students can write these messages as if they are the visiting bear describing its experiences in the new culture or as the host. Some of the experiences can include lessons learned in school, a visit home with each student, social events, meals and class activities. The work is shared on a regular basis (weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, etc.) with the partner class. Throughout the school year, students will find out what their bear is doing in the partner country and learn about its culture.

Project Description:
A tradition of flying kites with personal and group images of our dreams for a better world, in the footsteps of J. Korczak. Students make kites to fly as a massive tribute dedicated to advancing the cultural and social dialog, a symbol of bridging the gap and understanding the “other.” This will hopefully become a continuous tradition of flying kites with personal and group images of our dreams for a better world, a world of co-existence, tolerance, acceptance of the “other” and peace. “It is important in today’s political climate that we express to the world that peace is within our grasp,” said Adi Yekutieli, founder of the 10,000 Kites Project. Yekutieli, an artist, says he envisions “organized groups a wide spectrum of groups, adults, children, Israeli, Palestinian, citizens around the world coming together and each person will hold aloft a kite which he or she has decorated, as a symbol of dialogue, brotherhood and understanding of the other side. Each participant will be flying a kite with his or her thoughts, fears, dreams, and hopes.”
