The general idea of this course is the preservation and promotion of the intangible cultural heritage in the digital age of globalisation. Alongside we will be looking into immigration and social inclusion which influences the dynamic nature of our cultures. The course consists of experiences, practical activities, visits, and discussions. The thematic content of each day is based on learning through experience followed by reflection in relation to the digital orientation of the younger generation.

MOSAIC VOICES: COMMUNICATION, CULTURE AND CONNECTION

Six-day course in Kaunas, Lithuania

• Effective communication and multilingualism
• Inclusion, immigration and language
• Communication competence
• Craft of mosaic making

This course explores communication in multilingual classroom through the craft of mosaic making. Each of us are individual pieces of the community mosaic. We can observe a colour and a shape of a single piece, but only assembled pieces reveal a meaningful message thus achieving effective communication and inclusion.

We are cooperating with the Day Care Center “Korys” for the disabled people and will be working with them in the afternoons on the practical part. This adds a deeper level of experience – understanding the needs for communication, dignity, integration from the point of view of a disabled person. The idea of the course expands over the multilingual and multicultural communication competence into holistic approach of integration through communication.

The course is enriched by eTwinning project “Mosaic of Communication” which serves for monitoring own learning, visibility and dissemination.
