Mobility The Netherlands – Monday 13th March 2023

Activity 1 – Introduction

Objectives:

- Getting to know each other and the different cultures.

- Speaking English amongst each other to communicate and work together.
- Incorporating the different cultures into decorating a part of a wooden globe and wooden
figures to make European citizens.
- Working together to make one end product per group. Every group has children from the
different countries: Latvia, Spain, Italy, Slovenia and The Netherlands.

Activity:

- After the general introduction of the countries and the teachers, we split the children into
different groups. In every group are children from different countries. We explain the activity
and emphasize that it is important they work together on one wooden part of a globe. They
need to discuss their own cultures by for example the colour of their flags, what their country
is famous for and what colour they think represents their country and why.
They then need to incorporate all these colours on the wooden part of the globe to make an
endproduct that represents all the cultures of the group.
Once they have decided how they want to colour their part of the globe, they will get paint
and work together to colour it.
- The teachers will walk around the room and help them.

Conclusion:

- After everyone has finished we discuss the endproducts and each group will explain the
colours they used and why they chose these colours to represent the different cultures and
countries of the group.
