My learning diary by Jenny Karoumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx Jenny (Evgenia) Karoumpali's learning diary (Cultural Diversity in your classroom - rerun) en-us 2017-02-25 05:44:17 UTC 2025-12-14 17:52:57 UTC hello@padlet.com jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/156168615 For this school term I teach music in the primary education, at the primary school of Katochi, Aitolia & Akarnania, Greece. 
With regard to my migrant students, all my migrant students come from Albania.
My hobbies? I am a DIYer....]]> 2017-02-25 05:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/156168615 jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/156168616 Hi everyone!
My name is Jenny (Evgenia) Karoumpali.
I come from Greece and I teach music (since 1998) in both primary and secondary education (in Greece) I am 43 years old.]]> 2017-02-25 05:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/156168616 1.1 Reflect on what you specifically would like to get out of this course and why. jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/156169117 The cultural diversity is a consequesce of globalisation. Learning interacting with cultural diverse people is a social skill which is indispensable nowadays. The school is a place where this social skill should be taught among others.
In my opinion cultural diversity has do not only with people from other countries of origin but also with people from the same country of origin, even from the same region....]]> 2017-02-25 06:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/156169117 1.2 Which of the areas that Alicia, Erika and Tomislav outline do you feel is most important? And which of these areas do you think you need to work the most on? What could be the biggest challenge for you in becoming an interculturally competent teacher? Share your reactions and thoughts to the views presented in the videos and these questions. jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/156169128 I have lived the cultural diversity, to an extent. My parents were born and grown up in regions of southern Greece, and came in Athens, Greece (the capital town in Greece) when they were adults. I was born and grown up in Athens, Greece. Athens is a city, where the cultural diversity is more evident (comparativerly to other regions in Greece) for two reasons: There haw been internal migration to Athens after WWII. When Greece became host country (for migrants, in the 1990s) Athens lived the cultural diversity to a greater extent . Therefore I feel that the cultural capital of teachers is improtrant in order to manage the cultural diversity.
It is extremely useful for the teachers to reflect on what they have lived with regard to the cultural diversity.
I think that the biggest challenge is to try to understand the cultural diversityTo what extent this diversity works in the context of the other, what is the utility of this diversity in the context of the other and so forth, what is the puprose of this diversity in the context of the other and so forth.]]> 2017-02-25 06:17:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/156169128 1.3. submit your resources and further below you can browse through the resources of your peers.

It is usual that those kids come in touch with the Greek language when they go to school.

Reflect on the various areas highlighted by Alicia and Erika in the video below and identify any other areas you feel that are important to address with your students to develop their intercultural competence. Are there any aspects Alicia and Erika did not mention? And which of the areas are the most challenging to realize in the classroom? Share your views. jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/156169882 The intercultural dialogue and the intercultural understanding are very important and these should be taught at school. 
There is an issue in case that these values contradict the families of the students' values (those families cultivate racism and far right ideas). In the school I work this school term there are such cases. I would be grateful if Erika and Alicia could give us a piece of advice, how to manage kids from families which support racism and far right ideas.
Another issue is in case that cultural diversity is against human rights, egality etc, fundemental values of the Europe (marriage of girls under the lowest legal age, violence against women etc). Alicia's and Erika's views with regard to this issue is very important for me.

How do they interact with each other? jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/157095443 In the school where I work there are some Romani pupils and pupils coming from Albania. The Romani pupils have some knowledge of the Greek language but this is poor enough for their age. The Romani pupils attend some extra lessons for the greek language.

Can you apply some of the activities or at least the principles behind them to your subject, your school community, your students? Share either some activities you have used with your students or briefly describe how one of the activities suggested in the video could be adapted to your own context. jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/157096038 The ideas presented by Alicia and Erika are very interesting. This Christmas I taught the Christmas song "Silent night" in the following languages: English, French, German, Albanian (the school's migrant pupils come from Albania) and Greek. I told the pupils how this song was writen (in Austria, at Christmas 1814) and made known to the whole Christian world (in the school I work during this school term there are no muslim pupils).

Do you have any other concrete tips for your peers (e.g. giving students your written notes in advance)? And what strategies can we use that are not too time-consuming for us as teachers? jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/157096690 As I teach music (and not languages) I try to help all the pupils (migrants and local) through songs. At the first two classes of the primary school (6-7 years old) I teach them some songs with regard to the numbers 1-12, to the Letters of the greek alpabet, to the days of the week, to the months of the year etc. At the next two classes of the primary school (8-9 years old) I teach them some songs to help them for some Greek Grammar phenomena. Such songs are a powerful tool for the learning of the greek language. ]]> 2017-03-01 17:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/157096690 2.4 Do you feel your classes have something like a class identity, a feeling of belonging to a small community? If yes, how did you create this? What about your school? What actions at the level of your school exist that help community building? Do you have colleagues who are more sceptical about such activities when it comes to cultural diversity? How do you convince / deal with them? Share your experiences. jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/157106158 There is a class identity, but I have not contributed a lot to this, as I teach music. There have been projects and there are some other projects running with regard to the diversity and community building.
All colleagues are skeptical about the lack of communication with the parents of migrant pupils (the parents of our Romani pupils do their best to communicate with the school staff). The parents of migrant pupils do not come to school to have a cooperation with the teachers although their competence in teaching language (Greek) is sufficient.
Additionally, a part of local pupils’ families support far right values, which makes teachers skeptical, how effective are the projects we are running and our work with regard cultural diversity in general.

How empathic and open-minded do you think your students are already? Can you use your own experiences in your classroom work? How would you adapt the "What is privilege" activity and what other activities can you think of that can develop open-mindedness and empathy. Share your views jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/157118155 I have worked this exercise of empathy last November in a seminar for teachers in Patras, Greece. I have traveled in a number of European countries (Italy, Spain, UK, Austria, Germany, Cyprus, Russia, Hungary, Switzerland) and I have lived in Athens (Athens is the capital town of Greece,  where the cultural diversity is more evident comparatively to other regions in Greece) for about 30 years. During my studies in the Department of  Musicology (at the National and Kapodestrian University of Athens) I attended some subjects which had to do with ethnomusicology, and ethnomusicology deals a lot with the cultural diversity. During the school terms 1998-2000 I have worked to a junior high school in the center of Athens, which was multicultural and my interaction with those pupils was very helpful to me.  I have attended seminars (such as this one) with regard to the management of the cultural diversity. That’s how my open mindedness and empathy have developed so far.

My pupils at school are not so open minded and empathic, as the society they live (Katochi, Aitolia & Akarnania, Greece, a village of about 3,000 inhabitants) is not virtually multicultural (there is a small number of migrants coming from Albania mainly).

I would like to work “What is privilege” activity and other such activities but not during this school term. I would like to work it for the first time in secondary education (I work both in primary and secondary education, and this school term I work in the primary education).

How is the public space in your school and classroom organized? Is it more according to a model of co-existence or integration? For example, are students expected to assimilate to certain cultural norms at school or in your classroom? Is there a public space for and culture of communication and debate when it comes to different cultural norms? jennykaroumpali https://padlet.com/jennykaroumpali/wh8a2w4d6xzx/wish/157127838 At the school where I work, the public space and classroom are organized according to the model of integration. Although migrant pupils (who come mainly from Albania) could talk each other in their own mother tongue at school (Albanian), they never do so.  They are rather reluctant to talk about their country of origin. It is noteworthy that the school where I work during this school term is located in a village of about 3,000 inhabitants in western Greece (Katochi, Aitolia & Akarnania, Greece), where there is not virtually public space for different cultural forms.
