Culture Cybercards
Project
Description
Cultural Cybercards aims to provide a forum for students' creativity
and cultural curiosity. The immediate goal is to create a website
which will become a gathering point for students from Europe and Asia;a
website where students' creativity will find a venue, and where pride
and curiosity about one's own heritage and culture will find its flowering
in a deep seated interest and curiosity about other people and their
culture;a cyberplace where geographical boundaries are non existent
and cultural differences melt in warm explorations of each other's
innate similarities and shared experiences. It will serve as a vehicle
of experience for students, and allow them to make connections and
commence sustained dialogue with one another.
Thirty to forty students from participating schools will develop and
design electronic greeting cards utilizing each country's idiosyncratic
/ cultural symbols / icons and native language (with universal language
translations) for use in interpersonal web communications for a period
of ten months for the pilot.

Culture Ambassador
Project
Description
Students act as Culture Ambassadors for other countries, promoting
them to their own school mates. The main focus of the promotion is
the lifestyle of a teenager in the other country. Through ICT exchange,
the ambassadors gather information about how a teenager in the other
country lives as well as his hobbies, beliefs, problems etc. Based
on the information gathered, they produce promotional materials* to
distribute /promote to the rest of the school. From this promotion,
students from the school can sign up to be e-pals with students from
the other school. Pre- and post-project surveys are conducted to measure
the effectiveness of the promotion.

or assembly presentations etc.

Peace Project
Project
Description
In recent years, contrary to our hopes, we have come to see more and
more disastrous events around the world and feel depressed about it.
But some how or other, we easily forget these things as soon as the
media broadcasts change. The reason is clear: the trouble always seems
to be somewhere else, far away from us. Of course, not getting involved
in warfare itself is a blessing, though it can merely be ignorance
about disasters. But our history has taught us that such ignorance
can bring about another disaster. As educators, we should focus on
peace matters, as nothing can be taught without a peaceful environment.
To avoid disasters, the students as well as teachers, will think about
the meaning of peace, or how precious and blessed it is to be able
to live in peace. This is the main purpose of the project. Concrete
objectives will be as follows and further activities will be discussed
among participants at the conference. or results of the activity will
be on web page arranged by participants.
First, each school will select their own materials and send them to
the other schools. Second, each participant will think about the materials
they select. Third, each participant will write their comments on
the material they receive from the other schools, and hopefully an
exchange of ideas and questions will evolve. To motivate students
to be involved in the project, they will make peace crafts or something
similar to pray for our peace, and send these to the other schools.
The process and results of the project will be on a web page arranged
by participants.
