Dansk Egyptisk Dialog Institut støtter samarbejde

Det Dansk-Egyptiske Dialog Institut har udvalgt Globale Gymnasier som partner på projektet Cairo/Denmark – a school partnership between Danish and Egyptian high schools. Projektet er to-årigt og kører fra 2010-2011. Vi ser frem til samarbejdet både med skolerne i Cairo og DEDI. Projektet starter op med faglig udveksling i uge 9, når 8 danske gymnasielærere tager til Cairo med henblik på at udvikle fælles undervisningsforløb og -aktiviteter.

Description of the project:

The overall project is motivated by an understanding of knowledge, dialogue and the ability to act as global citizens as essential skills in the 21st century. It builds on curiosity, creativity and respect inspiring the students to become participants with a broad understanding of an interconnected world. The partnership is formed around common course activity in Political Science, English, Art, History, Math and Science, comparative fieldwork and classroom interaction through new media and on face-to-face meetings. The involved high schools work together on good practice in blogging, intercultural communication skills, participation and freedom of information as core elements of democracy and citizenship:
