Add your favourite photo and a quote of the day. en-us 2020-01-24 13:29:54 UTC 2025-11-19 19:50:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/6735307/a678eab476bfbdcd17400b6193ecb6f1/coral_m.png José António Carvalho, Guarda, Portugal joseantoniocarvalho https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446519204 The first day of training fully met expectations. There were multiple apprenticeships in an outdoor and informal concept. An excellent way to learn and a methodology to provide students.

I choose as a learning highlight today the theme of internationalization and national identity. It is a motivating theme that should deserve the attention of school institutions. Normally, internationalization means carrying out isolated activities in an international space. These isolated activities have a closed purpose. They are isolated and decontextualized activities. They provide an occasional experience without representing the true concept of internationalization. Internationalization is much more than that. Internationalization should represent a strategic integrated element of the school curriculum. The strategy of internationalization must go through an international, intercultural and global approach with several programs and initiatives. Internationalization should seek to develop in children knowledge, skills, attitudes and habits of global citizenship.

Internationalization does not imply compromising national identity. The cultural identity of each country is not in question with internationalization. Internationalization allows sharing the symbols, values, history and culture of each country. National identity is not born with us. National identity allows us to respond to differences. National identity results from daily contact with language, music, culture, history, national colours, gastronomy, customs, traditions, values, family, etc.

The classroom is the door to the world that allows the sharing of national values and the approach to other cultures and society. By learning about other cultures we leave a bit of ourselves and receive something from others. In this way, our international heritage increases by feeling our intercultural diversity. 
The countries present in this course, Portugal, Denmark, Finland, Latvia, Germany and France reinforce the feeling of international belonging described above.

I loved the the learning environment for today. It created the perfect opportunity to learn about Guadeloupe, our group and about ourselves. 

My highlight today was that I realized that our national identity changes with us. It does not define who we are instead we define our national identity. Our culture is a mixture of many different cultures and is formed throughout history. So there is nothing really, purely German.
Our international lunch was amazingly delicious. Tasting and talking about food from different countries showed me another beautiful part Europe has to offer. I even learnt about a regional German bread spread I've never heard before. 

My quote of the day: "An noumenn !"

It was very interesting to think about myself and my personality and tell it to the other people from different countrys.  In the daily life, there ist normally no time to think about the personal traits. Our culture is a mix of different cultures and this is formatif for our way to live and communicate  together.  Our lunch together was great, it was a coulorful mixture of different foods, a lot of unknown dishes to eat, my favorate quote was the "tea punch" and the story of the glas of rum in the morning. ]]> 2020-02-17 21:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446523859 Kirstine https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446525463 What did I learn today. That the identity of single persons makes up the culture of a country. If I understood it correct. I'm not quite sure if I believe that is the whole picture.
 I realized that I defined myself mostly with things connected to work! 🤔
 Got new ideas on how to let students introduce themselves.
 During lunch learned how much countries steel/inspire eachother food wise and more.
No photo - WiFi not working!]]> 2020-02-17 21:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446525463 Carlos joseantoniocarvalho https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446527404 Today I learned more about who I am, what I do here and where I'm going... . Guadeloupe exudes multiculturalism, just as all of us, regardless of our national identity, are the result of an amazing genealogical mix and powerful historical experiences, enabling us to learn in adversity and live in cultural, social, economic, political and environmental diversity. To live in a global world is to challenge and be challenged, is to turn adversity into opportunity, is to respect to be respected.]]> 2020-02-17 21:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446527404 Virpi https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446534099 Today was about identity. The things defining us are more or less the things we value in life. The word culture means "caring". Things we care about are the things we value and that makes us who we are.
Thank you for everyone in the group for sharing your stories behind identity ❤️.

Our own personal identity changes along our lives and affects and changes the national identity at the same time. By being interested in other's culture and thoughts we will increase understanding towards each other. Thank you for all the delicious dips to your identities and cultures!]]> 2020-02-17 22:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446538492 Tom https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446544997 I learned today that even though all of us were raised in a certain way and grew up in certain circumstances, our identity ist not fixed or given, but changes in the course of our life and is also influenced by the decisions we make. Moreover, by talking to you, I learned that other schools apply regularly for Erasmus funding and that there is hopefully a lot that we, who are taking part in such a programme for the first time, can learn from you guys to establish Erasmus plus at our school. And thanks for sharing your stories today and for all the things you brought for our unique and diverse lunch. ]]> 2020-02-17 22:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446544997 Madara https://padlet.com/rita100/powdjc4gfox5/wish/446556697 - When we learn about another culture, we also learn more about our culture.
- To be a teacher - the best way to learn.
- The more we know, the greater our interest is. The greater our interest, the more we care about.
- Personal identity forms a National identity.
- The individual identity of each person constitutes the common identity of the community.
- When faced with a new connoisseur, each has the choice to accept it or not to accept it. By not accepting, we stop in our own growth, but by accepting -  we grow and learn.

By talking to the others I noticed that in other countries and schools it is quite common to send teachers abroad, which is pretty interesting and important for us, because before we applied, we were very hesitant about it und thought a lot- maybe to much- about the consequences for our colleagues und students with of us being away for 2 weeks. But after today I think that we and even our school need to change our way of thinking about the different possibilities of teachers education to keep improving....

That is one of the most important sentences of the day for me, because it is an advice easy to keep in mind and if taken seriously a fundamental principle that can change the way we live and the way we see others.

I also learned some pretty interesting stuff about Guadeloupe, its climate and topography and I came to realize how extremely important it is for teachers to learn from each other, not only at one school or nationwide but also internationally. 

Sharing food from our native countries and stories about it is something we will definitely do at our school with our international guest students.
