4Scenes / points teachers felt the effects
Students cherished and love their culture. Because it was unique andbeautiful.
our partners shared with us pictures on forum about their culture which
excited our students
On internet we were able to learn and research on Japan.
Regular communication was a bit challenging because one teacher was
IT literate and had the laptop .Students could wait for him to connect theinternet.
Students learned why it was important to promote peace .And the role
they have to play in making it happen.
Students were very active .But were much affected by the time
allocated for project and school schedules .Given more time they canachieve a lot.
Students enjoyed painting together in team and always yarned to read
feedback from their partners.
Students were able to express their views while writing their self
introduction cards. The images created by students on the canvas had alot tell about their inner feelings about peace.
In totality the art club and school at large saw the need for Peace.They
all appreciated the messages expressed by the two schools.
