Peace and tolerance - the Holocaust Memorial Day 2016

27th January is the Holocaust Memorial Day- a day when we remember all those affected by Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur.

We wanted to highlight that in our project as many participants ranked peace and tolerance in our "What matters in your life?" poll. Here are some of the materials we used with our students:

Waiting for the 200th participant of our project :)

There are already 196 participants in our project. So now we are impatiently waiting for the 200th one :) Which country will he/she be from? Which school does he/she attend?
In the meantime, we have the first logo design. It's by Krystian Furman. Now we are waiting (till 7th February) for the other ones :)

Some of the students taking part in our project turned out to be artistically talented. Below you can admire a painting by Sudiksha Kapoor from India.
Congratulations Sudiksha!

Logo task

Our logo task has just been announced. The participants need to work on their logo proposals till 7th February. Then we'll have a voting to choose the best one :)

The students were shown, as an example, a logo from a project entitled "Together - in search of the future" between an Italian and Polish schools.

Group photos

The teams have started posted their group photos on our Facebook page.

 Here are two examples: one from Italy and one from Poland :)

Our AnswerGarden task

Our collaborative task was to think of five to ten things which really matter in life and type 

them into the window on https://answergarden.ch (these were one/two- word expressions).

The more frequently a word appeared in the AnswerGarden, the bigger it is displayed. Thanks 

to it we have a bigger picture of what we really value in life.

Pictures, films and other stuff

To learn each other better we upload group pictures, photos showing our hometowns and regions. We also share videos showing our countries.

Facebook Group updates

Our Facebook group is still growing. Today it has reached 173 participants :)

Most of the teachers and students posted their introductions on the group and interacted with their new mates.

Our temporary logo

For the time being, this is our temporary logo.

But soon we'll have a competition
and the participants will choose their project logo :)

We have our project Facebook group :)

At the very beginning (on 3rd January)
