Project 3 Generations: 1. Timetable and Deadlines For The Different Phases
All the virtual Eumind projects use the website-building tool Weebly. It is relatively easy to use and
provides the platform on which all the end products will be shared. You, as a teacher/ school coordinator,
will be responsible for creating a Weebly per class participating in the scenario. For this you need to use
the URL that will be provided by your international coordinator. Go to www.Weebly.com to get started or
visit http://euminddemo.Weebly.com for more information and help on how to create your own Weebly.
On the following pages, you will find an overview of all the possible research topics. Feel free to add sub-
questions to the proposed list below.
NOTE: On the portal, a separate file is available which contains the selection of the information and self-
assessment per topic. This might aid the students’ understanding of the requirements of each topic.
Research Method
One central research method for this project scenario is conducting interviews. Each topic explicitly states
how many and what type of people ought to be interviewed. For the final output, please choose one of the
following options:
- Students can edit one central video in which they include bits and pieces from all the interviews
they conducted (Max 3 minutes)
- Students can write a 300-word summary of each interview. Make sure to add the central
information about who the person is, how old they are and why an interview with them is relevant
for your research.
There is no need to transcribe the interviews or to add raw video footage of all the interviews.
-If the group consists of five group members, four grandparents (or people of the same age as your
grandparents) and four parents (or people of the same age as your parents) will be interviewed.
-If the group consists of three or four group members, three grandparents (or people of the same age
as your grandparents) and three parents (or people of the same age as your parents) will be
interviewed.
Important note: don’t include two members of the same family in your research.
Protocol
Ask permission to mention names and age and to publish the outcomes of the research and to take
pictures of the interview and/or record the interview.

4. Introduction
After your groups have been formed and they have picked their lists of topics, they can make an
introductory video about themselves or make a written introductory document. Overall you are free to use
any which format you please, but do make sure to:
Add a group photo/camera shot (NO individual pictures)
Share some personal info concerning hobbies etc. of each member (NO last names)
Put Eumind in your video title if you post it to Youtube
Add the Eumind logo to your written document
Keep in mind that all will be shared online, so do not share anything you would not want to be posted.
Also, this is the first thing your partner school will see from you. You only have one chance to make a
good impression, so try to make it count!
For European schools: owing to the new AVG (GDPR = General Data Protection Regulation ) regulations
you might need written permission from parents, so it might be wise to start this process at the start of the
schoolyear. You can also check out the portal for our AVG (GDPR) policy.
When all groups are done, you can upload the introduction to the Weebly so they will be accessible for
your Indian partner school.
TIP: On the Eumind portal you can find the Weebly web pages from groups that participated last year.
You can find their final products as well as examples of their introductions.
5. Group Matches
Eventually it is important to actually start working on the research or product. It is thus important
to get into contact with your partner school. Your international coordinator will help you with this,
but in the end, the teacher-to-teacher contact will proof very important for your own experience
and the success of the product.
With the list of preferences from your own student group and that from your partner teacher,
make teams. Each team will consist of one group of Indian students and one group of European
students. Together they will work on the same topic, but use their own cultural background as
their basis.
As soon as the teams are complete, they should create a communal Whatsapp group (so with
both Indian and European students) to help aid the process of collaboration between the
students from both countries. In the end, students will be asked to share evidence of this
collaboration as part of the final assessment.
They can now start working on creating part 2 of the final product.
All in all, students should be able to explain afterwards, how they worked together with the
students from the other country.
In the end, students are required to write a short report on their experiences regarding the
collaboration with their peers. What went well? How did they stay in touch? Pictures of Zoom
sessions, Skype Calls and screenshots of Whatsapp messages should be added as evidence.
TIP: On the portal you can find the Weebly pages from groups that participated last year.
VG – Exceptional
G – Good
S – Satisfactory
A – Acceptable
W – Weak
1. Each student group fills in the self-evaluation for their chosen topic.
a. They tick the relevant boxes in the ‘done’ column
b. They give themselves a score (VG/G/S/A/W) on each criteria
2. Teachers/school coordinators checks the students’ work and self-evaluation
a. They score the students (VG/G/S/A/W) on each criteria
3. The school coordinator/teacher sends the self-evaluation forms of the groups that have
completed the project and deserve a certificate of excellence to Margriet Dijkstra.
Globi will make the initial selection and present it before the international jury, who will use the
form to check the assessment against the criteria.
