A global day or week
A whole school event, planned and
curriculum linked, is ideal for one of the seven
activities that count towards the Full ISA award, or towards
Intermediate Level.
Schools doing any type of global activity this term (Autumn
2009) can use the International Education Week logo, and
should try to display classwork or reflect on the
activity during the week of November 16-20.
Involvement of a link school or schools would enrich the
activity and show the embedding of links into school life - but
this is not a requirement.
This section has been put together with the help of schools
who have run off-timetable events for a day or a whole week. Often
a particular country is a theme, or each class takes on the theme
of a country in the world and the other classes become travellers
for the day (one school even issued their own 'around the school'
passports).
We hope the pages in this section give you some great ideas of
your own!
Whole school events in themselves can be planned in a way that
ensures student engagement, perhaps via the school council or an
action group, and can also be used as a means to extend engagement
to parents and the wider community.
It's the perfect day to invite guests, community leaders and
artists. It all adds up to real and relevant shared learning
experience for the whole school! See some examples on the
ISA case
studies pages.
