# Theme and Message of the muralThemeMessage
United thoughts toshare with the world

Environment and new energy, how to avoid pollution.
we have researched the various ecological catastrophes that have marked our region,such as the ericka oil spill on the Brittany coast. many birds and fish perished.
the city of nantes is engaged in green energy, so we have to feel and present all theseenergies.

# Effects and the Problems
Effects your students have gained
Throughout the work, students learned a lot. forexample, knowing that the city of fukuoka has been acity where many people and children still suffer fromashme and other respiratory diseases due to pollution
problems. This also allowed us to draw a parallel with ourpollution and disaster problems here in the region of
Brittany where our city is located.

Points for further improvement
This is our third participation in this great international
project. Our students and teachers have understood
the project principle based on learning and sharing ourdifferent values to make the citizens of the world. We
had the opportunity to make video montages that wewill post online. we thank the students of Nakai
elementary school for giving us this great challenge.
And we hopefully to get more expediencies in the next
project to improve our video and presentation.

Your students attitude/reflection
Our students were a bit hesitant about
making videos. they have proposed someself cards and at the end, they havepresented a video in which they makeinterventions to explain the purpose ofthe project. So they were very happy. We
post it on forum. First in french and weare making it in english for every people.

The students were really happy because
they can go outside the school to do theresearch about the local pollution. They
did, to discover green areas, visit tomanufactory using green energy, taking
pictures.

Exchanging ideas about thepainting and what we aregoing to paintThe students were excited and gave a lotof ideas to be drawn.

Painting one half from theJapan partner school.
We receve it on 8th January
Painting another half byFrench students, and wesend it back to japan on 28
February at the Nakai
elementary school.

The students were waiting the muralcoming from Japan impatiently and werereally excited about it.
The students make an eventual
projection of the completed mural before
to receive it from japan. That was a good
imagination for theme.

All our pupils and techers

mind around the world.

Scenes / points teachers felt the effects
Yes the students through this shared learning project, understood theirown culture and appreciated how they shared with others this theme ofthe environment which has become a common concern throughout theworld.
Yes, through this project, we understood the culture of our partners.
because through our different exchanges on the mail, we realized that wehave almost all the same problems, the same desires, but we do not
express them in the same way.
What impressed us most is the way to pain. Our students do standing
painting, but Japanese students do it on the floor. the result is the same,
it is very rich.
We did a lot of research on the internet and shared our points of view tocome up with a common theme that would allow our students to work
well and have fun in this learning.
Our communication ability was not the best because we have a big time
shift. So we used the classic forum to send emails pictures. The
important thing we could establish a very rich communication between
us and in the respect of the deadlines.
The hourly shift was the big problem, but we hope that in the next
exchanges, we will circumvent this difficulty with other communication
resource that would allow us to be more reactive in our exchanges.
Our mutual learning has been very rich. because even during theholidays, we did not stop communicating, to explain ourselves in order tomake our learning rewarding.
We were able to display banners throughout the school to promoteactions of protection of the planet, the cleaning of nature and other
other actions.
The collaboration was very rich in the class with our partner.
Their capacity for expression has improved as we go along in the project.
At first it was shy, but afterwards they became aware of the challenge
and the added value that this learning project shared.
They did a wonderful job, which made them all value and feel very proud.
The regional press as West France, we released an article on this project.
The students have finished translating in English a video of all theirrealization, that we will send to Japan in the coming days.
