Taking risks and being innovative are important ways to go about teaching and learning. They are undoubtedly two of the skills our XXIc students need to develop. Becoming global citizens capable of engaging in collaborative and cooperative projects with people from the rest of the world is another key skill our students need for the future.

In this presentation we will share the different global experiences our students have had as a result of their participation in our new school project called “Bringing the World into the Classroom”. The interaction between schools is carried out by means of synchronous meetings that Newlands students hold with students from other parts of the world via Skype or Google Hangout. During the meetings students play games, tell stories, engage in research tasks, solve problems among many other highly motivating tasks with the purpose of achieving a certain goal decided upon beforehand by the teachers involved.

By engaging our students in enriching and inspiring tasks which enhance cross-cultural learning while developing their language and digital skills we aim at developing intercultural competence as well as exploring innovative and challenging teaching practices.
