Learning With No Bounds

Our philosophy is simple - to embrace and provide for all types of learning. We believe that with the right guidance and direction, everyone can succeed. Our educational approach empowers students to question conventional thinking and to pursue their academic understanding with dedication and originality. 

WORK PROCESS

Each partner school and teacher has the same responsibilities :
- training and coaching the students before they give their presentations;
- organizing the public speaking events locally;
- uploading the videos on the Twinspace;
- organizing the vote locally (this could be centralized thanks to an 
oline poll like a Google Form document).

Students are involved in writing short illustrated texts introducing their 
schools ; in voting for the best performances (both on a local and international level); in organizing the local event in which all the videos will be shown.

A Community of Growth

EXPECTED RESULTS

The Twinspace displayed some of the videos (recordings of the live mini-conferences); the TOP list of 19 talks. The worksheets used in class and out of class are also shared on the Twinspace. They include questions on official TED Talks and students assignments. We expect to share our ideas in future projects.

OUR TOWN, REGION, COUNTRY - INTRODUCTION

The competition followed several steps:
- Locally: students studied some TED Talks and developed public speaking skills and strategies, then prepared and delivered their own 5-minute presentation, alone or in pairs (the "Mock-Talks");
- The best presentations in each partner school were uploaded to the Twinspace and all students had to vote for the best performances ;
- A public viewing were organized in each partner school in order to involve other students, parents and display the students' speaking skills. Some prizes could be given to the most original, most entertaining or most interesting Talks.

We also liked the students to present their school/region/country prior to the competition, to create a friendly atmosphere and encourage intercultural knowedge and communication.
