Email from Senegal:

Dear students,

We have visited the SPER school in the outskirts of Dakar. The taxi driver didn't know were it was exactly but he then told us that he knew the cook at the center! When we arrived, Mr Carvalho and the kids welcomed us, they were very polite. Mr Carvalho showed us the facilities of their school: they have a kitchen, a patio, several bedrooms for the kids and a classroom were they have a small bookcase, three big desks and some chairs and a blackboard. He tells us that kids here arrive voluntarily, through different activities they carry on in the streets. Each of them carry sad stories but they are free to explain them or not. In the SPER (Solidarité pour les Enfants de la Rue) they are devoted to help these children, give them shelter, food and education. So you are actually collaborating beyond education.They are in touch with La Puponnière so they will be so kind to deliver the baby materials and toys to them.

They were really happy to receive your contribution: notebooks, pens, colored pencils.... are very much needed here, as well as clothes. They also loved the footballs! So they really thank you from the bottom of their hearts and send you lots of love. Their smile is the best present we can have.

Here you have some pictures from Senegal, people here is very cheerful, nature is impressive and the Pink Lake... is really pink! Hope you were here. In a way you are (look at the walls!).

Best wishes and congratulations for your hard work

ESO4: Campaign for a cause (2)

CAMPAIGNS:
Who is this girl? Where is she from? How old is she? What's her campaign about? Why is it so important?
Divide into groups of 3 to 5 students, choose a cause and design a campaign.
Suggestions: ENVIRONMENT (endangered species, recycling, carbon footprint, global warming/climate change); GLOBAL ISSUES (poverty, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, bullying...).

First of all, decide who are you addressing the campaign to. Think of the content (problem, causes, consequences, how we can help) and the form of advertising (posters, leaflets, radio announcement, ...). You may want to use the Internet for your cause (virals, meme, change.org, Tweeter hashtags...). Use language creatively (puns, rhymes...) to get your message through!

Comment the aspects of communication in the following campaigns: and identify the source ("emisor") and the addressees ("receptor"), code (language), channel (image, text, video, poster...), and the message itself:
 a) "Give a hand to wildlife"


b)"What on EARTH are we doing to our planet"

c) "Be like a Panda"

d) "Discrimination. The end is in your hands."

e) Poverty Puzzle- Oxfam

f) #bringbackourgirls



g) Human Rights defenders -Amnesty International











h) Give food for poor people

EXTRA: Study the communication context and reflect on communication nowadays the following with the following diagrams. Relate them to your campaign in context.

ESO3: Euro-scola projects and 9th May-Europe's Day

OK guys, I am very glad of your work. The four teams have been working really hard on their campaigns for the promotion of the European Union. They have focused on aspects that caught their attention and thought of a creative way to reach their goals. The process has been long but fun: reading comics and watching videos about the EU origin, values and services; deciding on a project; brainstorming ideas; being creative; working together; sharing their work... and now seeing the results!
Check all the groups and their different projects through their blogs (click on their names). They are spreading the word of their cause so if you like it, link their project and make others aware of it:

• 1. Swaggers (ESO3-B). Project on the European Health Card. Main output: poster.
• 2. Skinners (ESO3-A). Project on the PEGI symbols for Videogames.Main output: poster.
• 3. Simple People (ESO3-B). Project on the 112 Emergency Service. Main output: video.
• 4. 2gether we R + (ESO3-A). Project on Volunteering. Main output: video.

During Europe's Day, taking into account the values abovementioned, all groups will join forces to celebrate the event and they are already working on three activities:

• a. Common display with posters about the EU, institutions and official campaigns.
• b. Football match as a re-enactment of a European countries mini-league during the break.
• c. Music concert of our 3rd ESO students playing the anthem of the EU with their recorders, xylophones and the keyboard under an exceptional conductor: Sílvia Ríos.

We hope you enjoy this great day with us!
