From: Anne Villems
Subject: New project from Estonia

Dear orgs, this letter informs you about new project, initiated from
Estonia. Unlike other projects we usually run in ESP, this project
has project team from the University of Tartu (young co-operative
learning specialists, who have made several national level projects
for schools). The organisers will equip every participating teacher
with manual, full scenario of the project etc. But for the sake of
the success of this cross cultural project, organisers are interested
to limit number of schools, representing one culture, to 1-2. It
means, that if for example there are already two schools from
Slovakkia, representing slovakk culture registrated, the third school
can join, if they play the role of some minority culture, for example
local gipsies. This is specially true about US. Plenty of schools can
participate, if they choose to play the role of native-americans,
Afro-americans, mexican-americans etc.etc.

All contact addresses are in the following letter-advertisment.
With best regards
Anne

A project for secondary level students (age 15-17) on cross-cultural
communication

BABEL

School year 97/98, beginning in October

Unlike the situation a century ago travelling has become a part of our
everyday life. Students spend their vacations in foreign countries;
families move away from their roots to other parts of the globe.
Cross-cultural communication has become an inevitable part of our daily
environment: even classrooms have become multicultural.

Our ideas about other cultures are in many cases governed by lack of
knowledge or stereotypes created by mass media and may cause various
misunderstandings and conflicts. The aim of our project is to offer young
people from various parts of the world an environment for exploring each
other's cultural backgrounds, using modern information technology as a
medium.

Participants will have an exciting and challenging task to compose a
Survival Guide about their countries and cultures for kids of their own
age. They will get a set of assignments that are divided into several
stages. Participants will have to introduce their country and culture,
reflect upon the origin of stereotypes and overcome their own prejudices,
explore and describe the key factors of cultural identity. During spring
semester the subjects discussed will be history, language, folklore, arts,
and minority groups.

We hope that we shall be able to publish the Guide after the project is
completed.

The length of stages is not equal; each stage is composed of practical and
theoretical parts. In practical parts, students will have to fulfill
assignments given by the organizers. They will post the outcomes to a
special mailing list created for that purpose, where all participants can
read them. Theoretical part consists of classroom discussions within a
group. Both parts require teamwork and cooperation; contributions to the
mailing list should be completed by the whole group together.

Teachers will be provided with a manual that covers both the theoretical
and practical parts (together with information how to use the mailing
list etc.). We have tried to design the manual to meet the needs of
teachers of different backgrounds. The teacher does not have to be an
expert in the field of cross-cultural communication or project work: on
the contrary, we encourage the participation of people new to the subject.
In addition to the support provided by the manual, teachers are always
welcome to contact the organizers directly.

The amount of time required for the project is ca. 1 meeting per week.
On an average there will be 1 practical assignment in two weeks.

For receiving more information and for registration please send an e-mail
to

MINIBABEL@IBS.EE

- we shall be glad to answer any questions! :-)

The deadline for registrations is 1st of October (then the project actally
starts), if you are interested in recieving a copy of project manual on
paper please register as soon as possible to give us some time to deliver
the manual.

We will only be able to accept 1-2 participants from each country if
they don't represent different cultures. Beeing the third applicant
does not mean that you won't be able to join the project at all:
we invite everybody to participate in some parts of the discussion.
