CoDiMECoping With Diversity in a Multicultural Europe

PRETASKS

KaHo Sint-Lieven – 2008

Geert Van Buynder - CoDiME Belgium 2

Students prepare at home 3 different activities

• for Monday 14/04 PM: – every country prepares an information point (booth: imagine like a market) presenting cultural

aspect of their country like tourism, gastronomy, habits,…– we hope every country will use his creativity and personality to present their country– ICT-means can be used to visualise (pictures, music, movie,…) we try to limit powerpoints with

only text– there will be the possibility to go from one information point (booth: imagine like a market) to the

other to get to know each other better

• for Tuesday 15/04 AM or Wednesday 16/04 PM: – every country prepares a PowerPoint presenting the education system and how one works on

diversity in general (structure)– in this presentation you will use video examples to show how the education system of your

country copes with diversity– the PowerPoint and video presentation should not take longer than half an hour for each country.

• for Thursday 17/04 PM and Friday 18/04 PM: – presenting the county in the primary and secondary schools: prepare a presentation in a creative

way (look for creative ways to communicate with children who speak meanly Dutch)

• for the evenings at Heidepark (see schedule) : – every country prepares an evening programme containing cooking and animation
