PNG Schools Go Global Through IVECA!

Two schools in PNG joined IVECA in March ~ July 2015. PNG National TV, emtv.com.pg, introduced IVECA through their special education program.

IVECA’s Global Coordinator, Aline Wilbert, did a great job to implement IVECA into the PNG schools at the local schools. IVECA Team appreciates her passion and hard work for our mission to promote interculturally competent global citizenship for peace and development. We are also grateful for the commitment of PNG educators who made this happen together for the kids in PNG.

Primary and High Schools Are Getting Ready to Start IVECA!

IVECA Team is very excited to invite Jubilee Secondary and Boroko Primary schools in Paupua New Guinea (PNG) in our International Virtual Schooling from April, 2015. We also appreciate that our global coordinator, Ms. Aline Wilbert, physically visit PNG and stay with them to  support their participation. Through the enthusiasm from the school teachers and administrators, we believe this project will be successful to benefit the students in PNG.

It was challenging to install and improve the Internet connectivity of the schools; however, thanks to the cooperation from the high school administration and the donation from a local organization (Salvation Army), the schools are getting ready to go for this semester. They will work with four high schools and four elementary schools in South Korea for this semester until July.

We thank all the involved supporters and organization who made this happen and can’t wait to see the outcomes of the project with them!

Private and Public Schools in Brazil Join IVECA!

Innovative educators from INSTITUIÇÃO EVANGÉLICA DE NOVO HAMBURGO schools in Brazil participated in IVECA’s Virtual Teacher Professional Development (IVECA-TPD) in May 6th. This semester, both private and public school from Brazil started IVECA program and they will work with elementary schools in Korea until mid July, 2015.

During the IVECA-TPD session, the teachers said,

“I want my students to learn to respect the differences among different cultures. I also want them to develop the intercultural competence and learn how to work in collaboration with one another……. I am excited about working in collaboration with other teachers from my school as well as teachers from the partner school. I am also excited about providing this opportunity for the students.” – Ms. Danielle B.

“I am very happy to have this opportunity of participating on Iveca Program. I think this will be a great chance to develop learning environments that will promote culture awareness, collaboration and foreign language learning. I expect to be able to provide students with as many ways of interaction and to broadly integrate curriculum areas  with the partner school. I’m looking forward to living this experience.”  – Ms. Janina M.

We look forward to working with these wonderful teachers for the students in Brazil!
