The media education project

Paper

My contribution is about the presentation of our country Slovenia to the whole world with a group of talented school children in cooperation with the International Foundation Prix Jeunesse from Munich. The media education project was called Children of the World.
Through this project, we presented different ways of living of children from different countries around the world, through the website www.childrenoftheworld.de, to the children and teachers all around the world. Our country and our school were presented by pupils visually in the form of photographs that we took at school and at children`s homes, the drawings that were created in the class, and the videos we recorded in our class.
The pupils presented themselves with their names, which class they visited, which country they come from, how they spend their free time in their everyday lives, how their school looks like, and what is their favourite food.
With the help of video clips, we presented their favourite game Selling Crayons and favourite song A Mouse Came from a Mousehole.
Since the project encountered a great response and great popularity among children, a few other pupils joined a group of talented pupils on their own initiative and were happy to be able to participate in this project.
