Hai Everyone,
Embedding international mindedness is a collaborative effort that can be fulfilled by the help of language specialists and art teachers. Its a long term strategy and as the students start understanding other's perspectives it will reflect in their attitudes and behaviors. I have shared my understanding of embedding international mindedness through a video. Spare a minute to watch this video and share your feedback.
Happy learning

Hello everyone!
I have developed a plan which we could implement in your classroom to embed international-mindedness. Spare a minute to watch this SWAY presentation and share your feedback.
Thank you!

My plan to encourage International-Mindedness in my classroom.

The following I have tried in my class.

1.     Through story time – We tell different stories about different cultures, values, traditions, which can pave way for discussion of our similarities and differences.

2.     In our unit of inquiry “How we express ourselves” with central idea being-“We express ourselves through different celebrations” when students explored about the harvest festival of India -Pongal, Lohri, Makar sakranti , they also explored the harvest festivals from around the world like Thanks Giving, Hanukkah, Moon festival and lantern festival.

3.     Guest speaker-Invite parents or other guests to come to the classroom to share their experiences, to read stories unique to their culture.

Plans that can be implemented in the school-

1.     International day celebration- It can be celebrated across classes where each class will represent a different culture by doing role play by wearing costumes and getting one food item of representing this culture..

2.     Cultural Exchange programme can be organised

3.     Taking trips and excursions to provide students with the opportunities to learn about themselves and others

It can be a long term strategy where collaboration of specialists would be required
PE teacher - Traditional games of different countries, Music/Dance teacher - Songs and dance forms of different countries,

School community- Celebration of various international Day Events which will make the students internationally minded learners.

I will know its working  from the students themselves whether they are enjoying, whether they are enthusiastically participating in the activities and their reflections, and the parents feedback .

Hello everyone,
In order to develop international mindedness among students the curriculum should be such that it provides opportunities for learning about issues that have personal, local and global relevance and significance. While exploring cultures in “how we express ourselves” we begin with fostering an understanding of culture and personal cultural identities (the signs, symbols, languages, traditions etc. that make us who we are).

This exploration enables learners to develop an awareness of different cultural perspectives and appreciate the commonality of human experience. In doing so, we further develop the concept of global perspective so that, through intercultural understanding and respect, our students understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. Interactions through Skype amongst students of different countries or cultures is one of the ways in which International mindedness can be fostered.

# data[].attributes.body
My plan to embed International-Mindedness in my classroom and in the school -
1. Reading stories of different cultures and discussion on the similarities and differences will spark curiosity amongst the students about the world around us.
2. Inviting parents/ Guest speakers to tell the stories of different cultures like the festivals they celebrate, food etc.
3. International Day celebration where each class will represent a different culture with their costumes, food, dance, music etc. and to share it together.
4. International fair where students and parents can share about their culture, food, music etc. in order to promote international mindedness and celebrate the school community.
5. Through Educational experiences, excursions, virtual tours and virtual interaction with students of different cultures around the world.

It would be a long term strategy and will involve the whole school community including parents, teachers and students.

I will know whether it has been successful through feedbacks from the parents and the students, their active participation and their reflections on their learnings.

# data[].attributes.body
My plan to develop international mindedness in my classroom and in the school -
1. Encouraging students to explore on different topics that defines similarities and differences in culture of other countries.
2. By taking them to field trips and excursions where they will learn to explore new things and gain knowledge.
3. Inter - School events in extracurricular activities will give students opportunities to  collaborate with other students and to know them.
4. The learners can be divided into groups and given some countries to explore on the topic being taken and then ask them to share between their peer groups. This will develop their understanding of different countries.
5. The students explored about the different types of houses around the world through which they explored why these type of houses are built and what materials have been used and researched whether it has been built according to the climatic conditions of that place. This project gave the students to learn about different types of houses built.
6. The school can conduct cultural events, literature festivals, sports activity, Food festivals and through global connect program.
We can develop the international mindedness with the collaboration of whole school community including parents, teachers and students and this would be along term strategy.

Having virtual interactions is going to be my strategy to develop international - mindedness.
Students show lot of enthusiasm and interest in connecting with students across the world.
A tie up with few international schools would help us in this direction.
It is a long term strategy and the feedback and takeaways from these interactions will tell us if it was successful or not

For our students at DPSG, we look forward to have many more connections and collaborations with different nationalities. With the changing times, technology that is available to us these days, the world can feel smaller and easy to have constructive dialogue with people from variety of perspectives.
I have shared my plan of actions for implementing in my classroom so that learning extends beyond the classroom walls.
