Learning Beyond Boundaries
Two Continents One Classroom
Asia & Europe
Why don't we share a classroom in cyberspace? Conceived in 1998, the Asia-Europe Classroom (AEC) is a unique structure that connects secondary or high schools in Asia and Europe. Through its activities, the AEC provides opportunities for collaborative learning and intercultural exchanges. It is a cyber-classroom shared by students and teachers to build stronger bi-regional networks and partnerships in the courses of implementing common online projects and participating in face-to-face exchanges. In early 2006, the Asia-Europe Classroom was renamed as the Asia-Europe Classroom Network (AEC-NET). To join our network, please click here.
Flying to Asia on a Magic Flying Carpet
Europe has to face a simple fact: Asian countries are no more "emerging" countries. Asia hosts some of the leading industrial economies, and their cultural presence in the world become increasingly relevant. Young Italian people must be aware of the new challenges and learn to cope early on. It is crucial to learn more about Asian culture because ignorance has always been the seed of racism. In this project, a group of Italian students will make a virtual tour on a magic flying carpet to Asia in order to visit their Chinese friends. During the journey they will explore several aspects of Chinese culture, history, and economy. The script will be written in collaboration between students of two countries through e-mails. When the script is completed, each school will record their own video scenes. The final product will consist of a collaged video.
