New Places / Nuevos lugares

Students from around the world explored and analyzed what it is like to move to a new place. One of the goals of the project was to encourage the participants to apply their research findings and to make recommendations to transform their schools into better places for recently arrived students.

Traditional Games / Juegos tradicionales

In this intergenerational project, students and their families collected and shared games that have been passed down through the oral tradition. The games project provided an ideal opportunity for drawing parents' traditional knowledge into their curriculum. In some cases it also promoted more positive intergroup relations among diverse groups of students.
