4 Special activities and "What is Peace for you?", &
questionnaire (Till.... depend on your school)
If your school have festival, party or special day to cerebrate
peace, you will exhibit the results
of our project there. For example, In Japan, my school has school festival
in July and our students
exhibit pictures of Hiroshima or Nagasaki as a part of festival. Students will show their Peace Project
there. Then I will take pictures with my camera and put them on my web
page. They will also write
something about peace as they do at the beginning, and let them compare
with each other. It will be
on the web page. Questionnaire will be prepared among us members around Apr or May. When your
students finishes, then I would like you to send its data to Akira.
The article
is for your students. http://www.jade.dti.ne.jp/~akirana/overview.htm
As we see, we have plentiful of time to promote our activity, because there's
much difference among
participants. Try not to be in hasty, and do our project with your own
pace. I hope you feel conformable
with our project. If you still have some question or ideas, let me know without hesitation. I'll reply to you
as soon as possible.

Dear
Project members!
Greetings
from Japan
Hello. Welcome to the
Peace Project. I'm a chiefco-odenator, Akira Nakajima, an English
teacher in Eniwakita Senior High School, Hokkaido, Japan. At the
beginning of the introduction, let me show you how the project has
been given birth to.
Your teacher and I are
the members of 3rd AEC, Asia Europe Classroom, which was held in
Bogor, Westjava from 28 Sep - 2 Oct. At the conference, we met more
than 70 teachers from 18 countries! As the consept of the conference
suggests, we are now trying to build a bridge between European and
Asian schools to promote crosscultural relationship on educaitonal
level, beyond nationality, gender, or creed. You'll see how amazing it is
to find various facts hidden behind cultural barriers when it appearrs
through the activity, as if you might think I were a female teacher.
The project is composed
of 7 groups of students; Japan, Malayisa, Singapole, Philippines,
Indonesia, Sweden and Finland. Total number of participants will
be estimated as more than 100. I believe that such a variety of participants
will certainly enrich your activities. The activity itself is quite
simple. You'll will create collaborative work with your firends abroad
via email exchanges. Let me tell you about it.

The Activity
(an overview:
for more detailed information, ask your teacher)
|
|
1st: You'll write something freely about Peace or
Non-peaceful issues. These compositions will be sent to foreign groups
of students. You can write anything as long as it has something to
do with (non-)peace; Imaginary stoies, Poems, Stories based on the
history or facts you hear from your relatives, for example.
2nd: You'll also receive
several stories from other foreign groups around February. Then you'll
draw pictures along with them. The stories are based on foreign ideas
so you may find it difficult to imagine what is going on there! Just
imagine and try to work with colorful crayons or paintings. If it
is too difficult for you, you can ask about it to the original group of students
via email. This is all the same with your stories for foreign students.
When you receive questions from them, you will answer to it. You'll
probabry be surpried at the questions because you may think the story is
quite ordinal part in your culture, though it will soon turn out to
be the part of your cultural uniqueness! No one know what will become
of the activity, but I bet you'll be absorbed in these email exchanges.
Enjoy drawing pictures!
3rd: After the pictures
completed, your teacher will create a webpage for you to exhibit
them. Of course, you'll see those of what foreign students drawn
for your story there. It may be quite interesting because your story
might be translated into quite foreign illustrations! or it may still
be based your original ones. Difference? Simirality? The backgrounds
you and other students have are quite different, but you'll see something
similar with each other. I hope you'll find something valuable for
peace and for your future as well.
Have you ever thought
about Peace? Yes? Some of you probably think enough about it, as
something around you implies the importance of it. In this case,
I wish you will be pleased to tell your experience to other friends
abroad, as Peace itself won't be reached with your own effort. And
you? No? But don't worry, you'll learn from your friends in other
coutnries.
Enjoy your activity! And
just think what is peace for you!
Yours
Akira Nakajima, the
chiefco-odinator of the project, Eniwakita Senior High School, Hokkaido,
Japan
