There are students from Albania, Bulgary, Pakistan,Turkey,Russia, Syria,Italy, Great Britain, Romania,many countries in Africa etc. I really enjoy this diversity and multilingual environment! despoina_prapa https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127726743 2016-10-02 14:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127726743 Example activities to develop students' intercultural competence..................Little kids love role playing in my courses.There's an extremely large range of activities to use.Let's put an example..."Be your parent".In this activity children asked to find info(place, clothes,food) for their parents 'past life in their country. Then,children have to act like their parents  in class. at the end of presentations we discuss about similarities or differencies.Concerning Alicia's and Erica's tips, i totally agree with all of them and i would like to use google earth and scratchbook as a part of students' learning diary!Thank u! despoina_prapa https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127728266

In classes we support communication in mother language and we have special country's day that a student teach us his/her mother language. A teacher has to be prepared and  learn about students  backgrounds and use them as a learning tool.In adult classses we contact with students' friends or relatives before classes started.Adults students are more difficult to "open" so we try, firstly, to connect them through social media and meet their peers  with a "hello in your mother language"!]]> 2016-10-02 15:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127730160 an example of the language profile activity Erika does despoina_prapa https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127730210 2016-10-02 15:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127730210 webinar despoina_prapa https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127730580 2016-10-02 15:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127730580 A really BIG THANK U!! despoina_prapa https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127730815 2016-10-02 15:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127730815 Creating a sense of belonging and identity in your class and school despoina_prapa https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127731555 I usually create a member card for students in my class. It presents all students' countries'-flags, student's name in Greek,in English, in student's mother language and in a peer's mother language.Some days students have to exchange members cards and collect specific information.Our class identity is this little card ...We are members of all these nations and cultures.We belong in others life as they do.The most important thing in our classes is all the members feel safe, important and respectful.]]> 2016-10-02 15:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127731555 #DiversityMOOCs despoina_prapa https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127732861 https://twitter.com/hashtag/diversitymoocs?src=hash

I really love discussing with others and learning things about them and from them. I am mostly a good listener and i love people. 

We use "The Privilege"activity in our classes and the final silent moment of  "Wow" undestanding is valuable. It's THE MOMENT  awareness .One alternative activity with the same goal is "Privilege cards". We usually use "Secret stories box" that all studets called to write a personal sad story (from school,workplace,road etc) and someone else has to read that story in class and sheare some thoughts about it.In addition, there's a scenario -role playing activity "If i were in your shoes" that helps students' open-mindedness and empathy.]]> 2016-10-02 16:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127735723 despoina_prapa https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127739358 2016-10-02 17:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/despoina_prapa/mjj1votuebe0/wish/127739358
