The content of the
cooperation
We teachers of Nyborg Friskole have chosen six
different topics to highlight the differences and similarities between our
nations. Early each week, beginning in the week of Monday 27th of
February, each group will upload their presentation on the subject to a
closed forum which will only be available to the participants. The presentation
must have text as well as pictures, illustrations, statistics, links, videos
etc. Each group will then during the week read the other groups presentations
and give feedback in form of questions and comments. Each group will then by
the end of the week give answers to the comments from the other groups.
We have envisioned two ways of preparing for this
online exchange.
- Each group spends a week before the first deadline to prepare all
six presentations. During the week the students will only need to spend a
few lessons seeing the other presentations and writing their comments,
questions and answers.
- Each group spends several lessons per week preparing their next
presentation. During this time they must also see the current
presentations and write their comments, questions and answers.
The Topics
Here are our suggestions for the six topics. The
idea behind them is understanding different cultures and values and they have
been chosen because they show a range of areas which could be interesting to
debate. If you find any of the topics inappropriate, please don’t hesitate to
