F4+-+Integration

=F4 - Integration=

Teaching and learning activities will be introduced across the learning areas and ages. A graduated approach to learning should ideally build on previous knowledge, skills and understanding from primary informal educational sectors. There will be three phases of implementation allowing students, parents, staff and management the opportunity to understand the concepts and mechanisms (awareness), consider if accepted practices, attitudes and behaviour are compatible to future changes (adaptation).

Whole school planning will take place via a student body, which will feed into the school decision making structures. Implementation will take place in lessons and tutor time activities, as well as termly activities involving a range of year groups. Evaluation of activities will take place both within each school and between partner institutions.

Planning of activities will take place in numerous subject areas (this will vary between the schools depending upon the individual strengths of each Institution and the freedom within their respective curriculums). Examples of activities can be appropriate for all subject areas, the following are just some initial ideas discussed at the preparatory action planning.

Some examples of ongoing activities: theme days at schools (in different countries / ethnic music, food, dance, arts, crafts, drama); quizzes on the various ethnic groups during conferences; interviews with various people, including immigrants; videos of events; continuous compliance with the blog to reflect your event etc.

Some examples of activities during the conference: presentations of the students' homework; the host country will teach others in its folk culture (dance, song, music, food) - it could become a conference tradition; quizzes; trips to the museums what presenting nation and its history, open-air museums, national parks, etc.
