Add your favourite photo and a quote of the day. en-us 2020-01-24 13:41:00 UTC 2026-01-04 16:08:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/6735307/a678eab476bfbdcd17400b6193ecb6f1/coral_m.png José António Carvalho, Portugal joseantoniocarvalho https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450320382 Share. A key competence for teachers. A social and professional competence.
Dear colleagues. Today I share with you my proposal for the development of social skills in the rainforest.
For a good activity, it is important to know that social competence connects personality to social well-being and requires the ability to understand how one can achieve a full physical and mental state.
The core skills of this competence include the ability to communicate constructively in different environments, to show tolerance, express and understand different viewpoints, to negotiate with the ability to create confidence and to feel empathy.
Participants in the activity should organize themselves into groups and undertake a tour of the rainforest. Throughout their journey, participants should record evidence of the following attendances:
  • The ecosystems
  • The diversity
  • The species
  • The values
  • The heritage of sounds present in nature
  • The ecosystem's natural heritage
  • The region's unique cultural heritage
  • The colors and their symbolism
The activity continues with a presentation of the groups on the evidence gathered and a description of the sensations experienced along the way. This is followed by a discussion among the participants to develop a guide for developing social skills in the described context. At this point, the participants should reveal their capacity for argumentation, assimilation of different points of view and ability to reach agreement.
Throughout this activity, participants should develop:
  • The observation
  • The interpretation
  • The knowledge
  • The discussion
  • The reflection, and 
  • The creativity
By the way, and to link this activity to my area of education, I should mention that it provides physical activity, health, well-being and inner peace with oneself and with nature.
To conclude, participants should reflect how social skills are fundamental to achieving the 17 Global Goals set in 2015 for sustainable development. 

The proposals presented by the participants were excellent examples of how to develop key competences in the proposed context.

We can find this international idea in a lot of topics in our curriculums. ]]> 2020-02-25 19:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450340201 Kirstine https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450346341 I've learned that the weather is just as unpredictable in Guadeloupe that it is in Denmark!
I've learned that from the global competence aim of your project, you should see it through all the key competences! Important to show in application.]]> 2020-02-25 19:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450346341 Carlos - Portugal joseantoniocarvalho https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450352212 Once again, the chosen location, islet of Gosier, to approach the proposals of global projects, focused on the development of key competences of lifelong learning, surprised us by the natural beauty, the unpredictability of time and the human footprint. In the sharing, it became clear the need for outdoor training projects, to respect three premises: 1º to focus on global themes (internationalization/multiculturalism); 2º to promote integrated learning of all key competences of lifelong learning in the project; and 3º to provide an interdisciplinary participation with tasks formulated from the application of flexible curricular contents, in autonomy in the choice of contexts and creativity in the operationalization of projects. ]]> 2020-02-25 19:35:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450352212 Satu https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450353862 Today was about the key competences and projects about them in the rainforest. Lots of new ideas and different ways of doing things. 
Perhaps the most important thing about today is to remember to keep the positive mindset even if it rains in paradise. After rain comes the sunshine☀️ ]]> 2020-02-25 19:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450353862 Tom https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450368209 It was interesting today to share some more specific ideas regarding the key competences and to see how all of would put them into practice. Moreover, I will keep the key competences in mind when writing the next ka2 application- thanks for the hint, Rita. ]]> 2020-02-25 19:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450368209 Charlotte https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450386613 Today I've learnt about the importance of key competences in your erasmus+ application. It was very interesting to hear how others have integrated the key competences into the rainforest. ]]> 2020-02-25 20:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450386613 Virpi https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450400488 Be active, be social, develop and care🤗. With these skills we can do a lot. And there sure is a lot to do to have better understanding and acceptance among us all in this world. The list of key competences will come in handy in the future projects. Among other things it sums up the purpose of them. Thank you so much for taking us to that beautiful island😍]]> 2020-02-25 20:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450400488 Stefanie https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450413159
Today I learned a lot from my colleagues' ideas of how to teach the key competences through a visit to the rainforest and how to combine it with international learning. 
And I learned that even in the Caribbean the weather can be bad.
😜]]> 2020-02-25 21:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450413159 Madara https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450441274 - One place, one object, one topic can be discovered in different ways, covering all eight key competences. For example, visiting the rain forest, can include many activities to point out all those competences:
1) Communication in the mother tongue - essay about discovering rain forest thru all senses - touch, smell, hearing, ..:
2) Communication in foreign languages - pictures and names in foreign language;
3) Mathematical competence and basic competences in science and technology - 1m^2 square big place and compering it (all trees, flowers, animals, insects,...) with the same place in your own country;
4) Digital competence - National Geography reporter - taking video about nature, river, waterfall, rain forest, ...;
5) Learning to learn - use of ICT;
6) Social and civic competences - 17 Global goals;
7) Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship - Climate change - to know, to care, to act;
8) Cultural awareness and expression - Tree of life.
- What about competence of communication and physical competence?]]> 2020-02-25 22:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/bjk5ihgq8rt/wish/450441274
