Dear Sir or Madam! The international Unesco ASP project TREE = LIFE has been, in the decade of rapprochement of cultures (2013-2022), combining the youngsters and their mentors in an awareness of one's own cultural identity and the respect for the diversity of all kinds. The project introduces global approach learning as a lifelong process that highlights the interdependence and integration of the individual into a global event with its own activity as one of the most important factors of sustainable way of learning.
"Global education is the one that opens people's eyes and minds to the reality of globalised world and that wakes people up so it would be possible to realize a fairer world, in which there was more equality and human rights for all. Global education means that includes education for development, education for human rights, education for sustainability, education for peace and conflict prevention and intercultural education; What is the global dimension of education for citizenship." (The Maastricht global education Declaration, 2002). The project is designed to be interdisciplinary, so it can be included into the lessons or other forms of school work (interests, research projects, school projects, project days, etc.). It can be run with different groups of students (all students of the school, specific triad, a class, research interest group, etc.) and you can adjust the goals, content, difficulty, etc. The topic of school year 2015/16: A WISH BOX
1. Students get acquainted with reasons for migrations - with emphasis on the actual refugee problem (with help of some articles of Universal Declaration of human rights). A short film, advertising spot, a literary story, a photo, etc. can be chosen as an introductory motivation.
2. A workshop is carried out (as a part of a lesson or of other activities) on the theme of refugeeism, humanitarian catastrophes, stereotypes, discrimination, prejudice, wars (see resources below). In the conclusion the debate is highly recommended and thus the possibility for students to express their own views, thoughts, arguments.
3. Each student uses the new knowledge to make a drawing or a written product to express his support to a refugee on their way of finding the better future.
4. The products chosen for the exposition should be glued to a present-shaped box with a bow (the side should not exceed 30cm). It should be sent to Primary School Frana Kranjca Celje, Hrašovčeva 1, 3000 Celje (PS DREVO=ŽIVLJENJE) not later than 26th April 2016.
5. It is highly desirable that the project is actualized with humanitarian action aid to refugees. The aid package should also include a small gift (this time probably in a smaller dimension), which should include all the drawings and writings in English. The activity should be published on your Web site, and the link should be sent to one of the following emails: dragica.milojevic@guest.arnes.si or kajca_k@yahoo.co.uk.
6. The project will finish on 20th May 2016, the world day of cultural diversity for dialogue and development, with a closing videoconference (for the first time this year). (We are sure the financial reasons are due to annual decrease of the number of the participants who can attend the closing ceremony).
7. The deadline to apply is 30th September 2015.
You are kindly invited to join us in investigation, creating, socializing… We are looking forward to work with you.
Best regards, Danica Šalej, the Headmistress Klavdija Krbavac, Project leader Dragica Milojević, Coordinator
