Walls of Connection
Young people talk to each other about their image or dream of the future. Together they visualize this. An artist converts this into a mural that is filled in by participants. Everyone comes together to color the wall and community!
→ citizenship: it makes young people aware of the world around them and their possible contribution
→ digital literacy: youngsters create virtual drawings
→ creativity: they need to visualize (draw) their image or dream of the future
→ community project: painting an actual wall or displaying it as a digital art object and invite the community for the opening.
Every project consists of 5 lessons, including home works and community activity. They utilise the Blended Learning approach – a combination of teacher-led virtual and in-class lessons, individual tasks and group work offline and online. However, the final decision on the format is up to a teacher, based on resources and technology availability.
