Creating Educational Scenarios about UNESCO
World Heritage Monuments
by Johanna Chardaloupa
On the 7 th Newsletter of Visibility of eTwinning
Project Group (page 55) you can read the article
about the first project (KKI), who inspired us and
gave 9 schools from 7 countries the opportunity to
cooperate together on a new project
“KULTURKIOSK 2: Von Schülern für Schüler“ (From
students to students). That article explains how all
began and how the partners started with the
museums and went on to UNESCO world heritage
monuments (tangible and intangible). The digital
skills, the contacts and the knowledge that our
students gained on the Kulturkiosk – project (2014-
2017), was that we wanted to sustain & “strength”
on our new project KULTURKIOSK 2: Von Schülern
für Schüler (KKII).
The partners
Nine schools were involved: seven from the first
project -> Kurt-Tucholsky-Oberschule (KTO) –
Berlin – Germany (Coordinator), Oulunkylän
Yhteiskoulu (OYK) – Helsinki – Finland, Peiramatiko
Gymnasio Panepistimiou Patron (PGPP) – Patras –
Hellas, Liceo Statale G.Mazzini (Liceo Mazzini) –
Naples – Italy, Bundesgymnasium Rein (BG Rein) –
Rein bei Graz – Austria, Gimnazjum nr 25 (Gim25)
– Gdansk – Poland, Karinty Frigyes Gimnázium
(KFG) – Budapest – Hungary, and two “newbies” -
Oberschule Süd (OBS Süd) – Delmenhorst –
Germany and Istituto di Istruzione Secondaria
Superiore Salvatore Pugliatti (IISS) – Taormina –
Italy.
Organization and workflow / innovation
The general organization had been tried and tested
from the start, shared by all participants and
quickly adopted by the two new partners. The
question of communication and cooperation among
each other was therefore in principle not a “tabula
rasa”.
- During these meetings, all students were
accommodated in host families.
- School and country presentations of each partner
(using videos, dances, theater, songs, PPTs, games,
etc.)
- 2 working days and activities.
- Group/team collaboration in the partners’ schools.
- Guided tour to explore each host city.
- Joint excursion (students and teachers)
- Family day of the students with their hosts.
- Presentation of the results, evaluation of the
meeting, award ceremony and closing event.
- Impressions and free comments from students
and teachers have been collected in separate
padlets.
- On the project page (https://interactive-
museum.guide/ & on the TwinSpace:
https://twinspace.etwinning.net/89402/home) a
new section has been added, which has been
dedicated to the UNESCO World Heritage in order to
show the continuity of the project and at the same
time to make all materials available.
At each transnational project meeting there were 2
types of cooperation:
- Schülerkonferenzen (student
conference/meetings): Through the student
conferences could the experiences and project
results from KKI be incorporated into KKII. Two
experienced Erasmus students have worked
together with three inexperienced newcomers. This
concept of student conferences has promoted
creativity, self-employment and networking among
students. The transferred responsibility of the
overall evaluation of the individual meetings to the
so-called "student conference" is one of the
innovations of the project. A group of students met
each time and decided together which questions
had to be asked in order to obtain a suitable rating.
Mentimeter App has been used for the evaluation.
Mentimeter offers the opportunity to answer
questions anonymously and quickly, and to make
the results immediately visible.
The closed FB group site, which was only accessible
to the project partners, proved to be the most
important and most direct means of
communication. The communication was, as
needed, by Whatsapp (individually and as a group),
mails and of course also extended by phone. Online
conferences have been held only a few times. (With
9 partners it was a little difficult to find date & time
that suited everyone.)
The transnational project meetings followed a
specific and well-proven schedule, which included
the following routines:
