4TH ACTIVITY: MUSEUM GYMKHANA

  • PLANNING:

WHAT: Hosting students prepared a gymkhana or skill-based contest to be held in one National Museum that all students visited during the student exchange. It would be done in cooperative teams. A guided visit to the city where the Museum would also be held. 

WHY: We wanted to install in them the liking for art in general and to appreciate and value the most relevant national artists’ masterpieces. We understood that this spread of national art would make our visiting students have a global understanding of the country idiosyncrasy and cultural heritage. The English language had to be used permanently during the visit, which would make them develop both communicative and social skills.
