4-8-Week Courses

Games Around the World - Let's Play!
In this 4-week exchange, students will experience the joy of play and be inspired to learn about the world. Students in different countries will teach each other how to play games that they enjoy and that are unique to their culture. Students will receive instructions and a video from their partners, and learn how to play their game. Then they will share a video of themselves learning and playing the new game.

Global Artist
The Global Artist course sparks students' curiosity about their own culture and helps them develop a global perspective through meaningful interaction with students in another country. In this exchange, students in both countries learn about an artist from their own country and do a hands-on project related to that artist's work. Through asynchronous video exchanges, the students present the artist and their own artwork to their partner class, and also receive videos from their partner classroom.
