Curriculum

 

One World Youth Project Curriculum focuses on both cultural exchange and community service.

The school year is divided into two sections:

Part 1: Cultural Exchange Activities              Part 2: Community Service

Individual & Community                                            U.N. Millennium Development Goal Focus                                                                                            Making a Difference...Think Globally, Act Locally

 

Part 1: Cultural Exchange Activities

             Individual & Community

During the first part of the school year, One World Youth Project will focus on a specific activity* to help enrich the cultural exchange.  For instance, participants may be asked to write down a recipe their family cooks, draw a map of the place where they live, or retell a legend from their country. 

Every two weeks students will have several activities to choose from.  Teachers/group mentors can choose to have students do activities as individuals or as a group.  Although, each time there will be several activity options, students should not feel as though they have to do all the activity options…they can do one or as many as they would like.

At the end of each two week period a student leader or adult mentor will be asked to mail or email a selection of the student work to One World Youth Project.  The selections will be posted on the website. 

Our goal is not to make these activities seem like school work but rather fun mini-projects that will help enrich the experience of linking with a sister-school/group!

Feel free to adapt, add on to, or change any of these activities to better fit your group! And, if you have ideas for any additional activities please email them to: info@oneworldyouthproject.org

*The One World Youth Project Activities belong to the Project and its creators.  Our goal is to spread cultural exchange...therefore, if an outside entity is interested in using one of these Activities please email info@oneworldyouthproject.org for informaton of how to do so.

Part 2:  Community Service - United Nations Millennium Development Goal Focus

              Making a Difference…Think Globally, Act Locally

 

The next section of curriculum focuses on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals and planning and implementing a community service project! Each pair of partnered schools will be asked to choose one of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals to help achieve through their service project.  Each pair of partnered schools is therefore working on the same goal but with different service projects.

 

The part 2 curriculum is divided into three sections:  LEARN, PLAN, and ACT.
