From L (curricular subject) to a practical application / design thinking ... and how that can connect several subjects and also be useful within the community >>S

From S (needs of the community) to L: what curricular knowledge we need in order to be able to find solutions; what subjects we need to bring to the table? what specialists we need to invite to teach us?

TICKET TO PAȘCANI is the first service-learning project of the SPECIAL IMPACT CLUB, a project carried out in partnership with MEDIALEX FILM, Mrs. Mărioara Preutu and Mr. Petru Padurariu, a plastic artist.

The aim of the project is to promote the cultural-religious values of Pașcani and its surroundings through a permanent photo-documentary exhibition on display and the film „Pașcanii în oglinda timpului" (conceived and made within our project) which will be played on a TV screen in the town's train station hallway where the ticket office is located.

The space chosen for that is the entrance to our town so it is easily accessible for both travellers and members of our community.

The SPECIAL IMPACT CLUB is not an association or a foundation, but an extracurricular programme that has been around since September 2019 under the tutelage of the Special Secondary School and The "Noi Orizonturi" Foundation. It is a club established by the community's imitative, made up of students from local high schools.

The SPECIAL IMPACT CLUB was established in partnership with the "Noi Orizonturi" Foundation, which trained the club's leaders, teachers Oana Monica PLAIU and Alina Mihaela TĂTARU, through the "Impact Academy" programme.

The IMPACT programme is one of the many programmes of the "Noi Orizonturi" Foundation that have grown and developed in Romania since 2002. It combines education and learning through experience and gives the teenagers the opportunity to make a change in their communities.

Notes from Practical Tools II @ Step 10 

# data[].attributes.body
Celebrate even a pilot project - those are the tough first steps

Should we really celebrate every project at its own end (or wait for them all to wrap up)?

Have older students who had already done such a project come during prep to help to inspire and encourage younger kids.

Be honest about the challenges and how we solved them.

Be prepared to know what might happen - older peers'/kids' views might be more listened to than more advice from the teacher!

Day of Open Doors - use that existing tradition to introduce the school SL to the community, staff a table with the SL students- they can answer questions and interact with the public.

Kids need to know that their work is rewarded.

But, the celebration might be more than a material reward - what else do they appreciate (praise, acknowledgement, mutual gratitude)

Celebrate small targets - don't wait until the final is done, show off meeting smaller targets as a way to model persistence with complex SL steps.

How do you integrate the SL and prep for the showcase without it seeming like extra work?

Integrate generating and collecting information throughout the process (integrate and use data from the steps on Evaluation and Reflection)

An exhibition made by all who were involved (all partners outside the school too) could be part of the celebration.

Try formats like an e-book, and even give them to the community (some have QR codes to download a copy free).

Work with book/exhibit creators who want to use a certain photo in order to come up with a caption is also a learning opportunity - people do not interpret a scene of photo the same! The act of collectively curating is a productive one too!

Encourage them to use collaborative websites like Canva - it's fun, you can decorate the pages, accepts photos, text, - and it becomes a book to share.

----

Erasmus can be a great help in finding partners (in EU), use exchange partnerships

Try parallel projects (ex. of 5 countries) and have them be "there" for the celebration

include time online to socialize and "be kids together" in addition to formal speeches and

Having a problem to solve can be a great impetus to launch a SL program

Include art teachers - create a wallpaper, Zoom background, even a Canva shared site to create a collective project

Gather things about the process- that is part of the show versus just final projects

Use Keynote, Trailer (films), Kunstmatrix (virtual exhibit), SlidePro (?), templates together to create co-authored presentations around a synthesis topic

Sometimes the kids know of new software and skills

What was someone's greatest success?

"Most significant change," template for an exercise - teachers, kids, partners each write or draw something

ask them for (individual as well as group) high lights, Low lights - present these as a gallery walk - explain it to those who were not part of it as well as partners from the community

the guests also appreciate the opportunity to meet with kids, not just listen to speeches

use a real or digital guestbook - and then screen the comments - for a final synthesis
