AICL project is an international PBL (Project Based Learning) implemented with partners overseas, where students research on global issues we are facing, discuss how to solve them and what kind of future they want to create together, and finally express the ideas emerged through the discussion as a piece of mural by painting by halves at each
school.
It is not just a joyful international exchange event but requires friendly and continuous communication with the partners and high motivation to implement the project based learning with them. It is totally effective to develop students’ 21st century skills and foster global citizens who will create a sustainable future. So it will be worth a try.
Concerning the learning schedule, you might think it is difficult to follow the standard curriculum model because of your long holiday in June to August. Then we are willing to give you some advice about how to adjust or arrange your schedule to catch up.
Please do not hesitate to ask any question to <jam@artmile.jp>.
Welcome teachers with passion to nurture students who will create a sustainable and peace future!
