Introducing the lesson: Present relevant background information, the purpose of the lesson, and the learning objectives.
Teacher/Learner Activity 1 – Whole-class Discussion:
• What do we mean by ‘Intercultural Cooperation’, ‘Insular’, ‘Provincial’ and ‘Internationalism’?
• Why is it so important that we gain an understanding of other cultures? • In what ways does technology affect the way we communicate?
Teacher/Learner Activity 2 – Identifying and making initial contact:
• Has everyone identified a contact for the Skype video call? • Do students have an email address and/or a Skype address for this person? • Ask students to write an email to their chosen contact. In the email, students need to tell their contact that, in advance of the Skype video call, they would like them to consider: 1. What peace means to them
2. What their own commitment will be for Peace Day, 21 September
• Resource Q2 is an example email which can be given to students to help with this task if necessary.
• Think about the time difference. Is there a time in your day that would suit both you and the person you want to communicate with? Just before or after your school day?
www.worldtimeserver.com is a useful resource.
Teacher/Learner Activity 3 – The Video Call:
• Is the computer room/facility booked? Are there enough terminals available? • Make sure all the computers you will be using have a webcam (and ideally a headset). • Visit
www.skype.com for support with making free Skype-to-Skype video calls and to download free Skype software.
• Students will need a Skype name, address and profile in advance. • Does each student have written confirmation that their contact is willing to participate and available at the designated time?
• Do you have written permission from all parents? • To find out more about safety whilst making Skype video calls, visit
www.skype.com/security and select your language option at the bottom of the page.
• Explain to students that the Skype video call is a ‘Call to Action’, that they are part of an ever-expanding team raising global awareness of Peace Day.
• Resource Q1 is a guide script and has important questions that students need to ask their contact during the call including the Three Steps to Peace One Day.
• Important! Ask students to write down responses during the call. These could become part of a display as part of your school’s wider Peace Day activities.
• Impress on students the importance of keeping the communication clear and respectful. • Film your Skype session and share your footage with Peace One Day.
Reflection/Ideas to Discuss:
• What commitments did their contacts make for Peace Day? Did they promise to make contact with someone else and inspire further action?
• What are the implications for Peace Day if young people everywhere were to do what you have done?
• What are the implications for the world?
Please help students to consider the Three Steps to Peace One Day
