Hidden in the Open Space (ICE)

Cultural heritage does not end at monuments and collections of objects. It also includes traditions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants. While fragile, it is an important factor in maintaining cultural diversity in the face of growing globalization, helping with intercultural dialogue, encouraging mutual respect for other ways of life and reinforcing respect for nature.

Methodology & assessment

Preparation:
Participants register on eTwinning and familiarise themselves with the platform and complete the preparation assignments on Padlets.

Implementation:
Learning through experience is the key element in teacher training courses provided by Kaunas Biennial. Participants study and discuss the theoretical background of the ideas, engage in the related experiences and reflect on their personal learning. Most of the days the environment is set to enhance the learning and experiences.
eTwinning is an important component of the course work where participants share their daily learning ideas and reflections. It also serves as a monitoring and dissemination tool.

Follow-up
After the course participants will reflect on the gained knowledge and its application in their own educational environment. They will complete a report to be sent to their national agency. The trainers will provide support for collaboration between participants encouraging them to initiate partnerships projects, help to find partners and participate in international work.
