Reflect 2 is the extension of the multilingual platform EduSkills+, which is dedicated to cosmopolitan educational strategies and their growing importance in a European and international context.
The multilingual platform offers diverse, appealing and motivating materials for teachers to help young people understand the challenges of our diverse society, promote discernment and critical thinking and recognize mechanisms of manipulation. Practicing the conscious use of language, attentive and alert listening, looking and perceiving leads to a critical but open-minded attitude that does not allow world views to be imposed on it.
The platform and all materials are available in English, German, Italian, Polish, Slovakian and Slovenian. It comprises three main elements:
- Modules dealing with diversity and global issues as well as for implementing philosophical issues in the classroom;
- Multilingual media library with a collection of resources, materials and model projects from different countries;
- Online video tutorials for teachers on how to use and implement the materials.
The modules are designed as downloadable, ready-to-use PDF files containing lesson plans, worksheets, reading and multimedia material. A wide variety of exercises have been developed to provide students with tools, to develop their cognitive skills, help them make judgments, clarify their definitions and to create concepts. They focus on the following areas so far: Thinking, language and diversity, human rights, democracy, diversity in soccer, fleeing war and persecution, The workings of anti-semitism, antiziganism, islamophobia: what is it and why does it exist, sustainable consumption, The journey of our products, globalization.
The aim of the Reflect 2 project is to expand the existing offerings of the EduSkills+ platform to include the following areas: climate change, digital ethics, water, a resource in danger, empathy, global and local, smartphones, climate justice, homophobia and disability...
The project is carried out by 8 organizations from 6 countries. The aim of the collaboration is to develop new modules on current social issues.
