A gallery of at least 70 lessons/initiatives/activities designed using the Toolbox with peer review
A3 Activities Gallery: result is at least 70 proposed lessons/initiatives/activities using the Toolbox (may be implemented as a task at the end of the training module in WP2 as a final assessment method before certification of full training path that is why 70 is equal to expected learners) at least 45 of which would become resources with the training module in WP2 upon certification of sufficient quality by UNIC and CSI.
The design A1, use A3 and testing A4 of the Toolbox are aimed at the empowerment of present and future teachers supporting them in the application cultural diplomacy in primary schools through experiential learning, activity based learning and other methodologies that engage students (first) and the persons in their immediate background (second but not of secondary importance). The empowerment will take place with the Toolbox:
1. tapping what teachers acquire in initial teacher education in pedagogy and methodologies,
2. bring in the transformative learning and cultural diplomacy approach on the subject,
3. ensuring quality and focus on areas such as culturally sensitive education, use of tools that enable further creativity and
4. securing autonomy because the Toolbox will contain templates, menus and check lists directing focus on learning objectives, desired impacts and ethics.
CSI and UNIC will lead the design of the Toolbox with partnership wide input especially from
- LABA, Synkoino and Idea Malta transferring experience in cultural diplomacy in their other joint projects and
- Platon and Idea Malta transferring experience in cultural diplomacy in their other projects with UNIC.
ValIda will play a key role in augmenting the numbers and level of engagement with the Community of Learning that will have been initiated in WP2 so that this can be:
- a platform for support of participants in all the activities of this WP,
- an opportunity and vehicle for monitoring of partners and participants engagement and
- a vehicle for sustainable action beyond the project lifetime and partnership towards the last 6 months in the project lifetime.
Participation
A3 Activities Gallery
- present and future educators and non teaching education staff producing 70 proposed lessons applying the toolkit with even spread across the partnership with the aim of having engagement similar to WP2 A5 ie. participants in testing the training module.
- ValIda 1 Community of Learning leader and animator/monitoring of participants engagement
- CSI and UNIC 2 experts each to mentor participants and vet quality of proposed lessons
A validation activity will be running horizontal throughout all these steps.
