Project description:

The participating students have been attending classes on cultural heritage in their environment.

The guiding teacher doesn’t need to have any specific knowledge. The student should be acquainted with the subject “rijksmonument” (state monument). Next to that the student will get information on paper from his coaching teacher. For foreign students there is an English translation.

With the help of an “observation guide” the students will investigate a building of cultural historic importance in their direct environment. They have to explain why they choosed this particular building; why this building important is to its environment; They have to gather as much data about the history and characteristics of this building.

The building must be on the state (or municipal) list of monuments. The choice is made by the student.

During the stay abroad students together with their partner-students from his host family, investigate a building of cultural historic significance. The building has to be selected in advance by the host student. He/she has done some investigations in advance in the same way their partners has done. The students inform each other “in sito” (on the site) about the building and take each other on a guided tour in and around the building. They have to fill in an observation guide.

They have to describe the cultural historic significance of this building, also its history. They have to explain why the building is relevant to its environment. They have to fill in the observation guide, to take some pictures of the building like: full shot of the exterior, the interior, relevant details. They have to take a picture together with their partner-student in front of the building.Together they have to make a PPT or Photo movie.
