What is this video project that we keep talking about?
To foster the students understanding about their own identity, how identity is pluralistic, and encourage a global mindset we asked 50 students of Porta Mosana College to forms groups and make videos representing themselves. These videos have been shared with students in Japan who will reply with videos representing themselves. Similar to the first step in a pen pal or student exchange program but through videos (a 21st century and cost effective method!).Ideally, this will support these young teenagers to build international relationships and strengthen their global understanding.
We encouraged the students to share interesting things about themselves. At first students started designing videos about the Netherlands, although we know that the Netherlands is more than bike rides through fields of windmills or enjoying the canals of Amsterdam with the aroma of a near by coffee shop. With a bit of cultural insight from us, we encouraged the students to include things which couldn’t be found on the internet, with the students producing a diverse range of videos.
Here’s a sneak peak at one of the videos.
