Digital Dynamic Cultural Dialogue (Guadeloupe)
ICT tools for Preservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage
Location: Sainte-Anne, GUADELOUPE (France)
“To know and understand our own culture, we must learn to see it from the point of view of other cultures, comparing our customs and beliefs with those of other times and places. With globalization now upon us, and external diversity on the retreat, it is becoming a matter of urgency to protect and preserve the internal diversity that each society owes to its constituent groups and subgroups, all of which develop differences that they consider highly important.” Claude Lévi-Strauss, French ethnologist
The general idea to be developed by participants is the preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage in the digital age of globalisation. It will result in collaboration between teachers involved in European cultural heritage education.
The course consists of on-site lectures, practical activities, cooperative work, visits and discussions. The thematic content of each day is based on learning-by-doing followed by reflection-upon-action in relation to the digital orientation of the young generation.
During the course participants will explore various Web 2.0 applications to be used as active and productive educational tools. The course ends with the evaluation session and discussion on future initiatives, such as eTwinning projects or school partnerships, followed by presentation of certificates to the participants.
eTwinning is an important component of the course work where participants share their daily learning ideas. It also serves as monitoring and dissemination tool.
Preparation
* Introduce yourself on the course TwinSpace.

The course I took was full of useful, practical information. We covered many important issues, starting with nationality, identity and global citizens topics both from the theoretical and practical aspects. Vital aspects about multiculturalism were addressed and discussed here. Plus, I learned great things about the culture of Guadeloupe and around the world, also how to use things in my lessons practically as the course booklet contains tips. Quite much reading was done from the excellent booklet containing theory and documents. I find it very useful. Lots of ideas and discussion about globalization and school international work were addressed and shared. Very much needed school audit of international form was analyzed and explored. I started some work which will be continued later at school, hopefully in workshop with my colleagues. Course explained many practical details about project work and including bunch of informal learning techniques that are very much needed for my English classes back at home. I also explored local nature and dag into environmental aspects, human impact, etc which I often use in my lessons. And very many professional tips on Erasmus aspects were shared and explained by course organizer Rita. This is far the best experience I have done in Erasmus courses. No wonder I am here for the second time. Invaluable impressions and experiences for self discovery and development!

Der Kursanbieter ist hervorragend organisiert und gibt zuverlässig und zügig Auskünfte zur An- und Abreise sowie zum Kursprogramm. Es gibt kleine Aktivitäten zu Beginn und es finden regelmäßige weiterführende Diskussionen statt. Rita, die Kursleiterin, ist hervorragend vernetzt und bietet vielfältige Zugänge zum authentischen Leben auf Guadalupe. Dabei besucht man verschiedene Lernorte, die entsprechend den inhaltlichen Ideen wohlüberlegt und zielführend ausgesucht sind. Zusätzlich bleibt viel Zeit, andere Kursteilnehmer kennen zu lernen und deren Erfahrungen und Schulsystem mit seinen eigenen Ideen zu vergleichen. Der Schwerpunkt der Mobilität liegt auf dem interkulturellen Lernen und auf der Interaktion mit der einheimischen Bevölkerung. Folglich st dies eine äußerst empfehlenswerte Fortbildung für alle Lehrer*innen, die über den eigenen Tellerrand hinaus schauen wollen.

The main strength of the course is course organizer and trainer Rita Stoskiene who knows how to tell the story and explain to little details everything we wanted to know. . Rita is calm and ready to help with whatever xou ask or need. The second strength is the course program that is educational and interesting just like it is supposed to be. Guadeloupe as a course destination is also a great + not just because of beautiful beaches but because of their history and tradition, cultural heritage sites.It offers an insight to how schools work in some distant country and that we share same passion for work we do. I would definitively recommend this course to all teachers who are open minded and want to learn how to preserve the heritage and to see different culture, continent, people. Also because of great organization, communication, course program and structure.
