The GJC is a unique opportunity to reflect on the importance of the challenges posed by 21st century education and the role of technology in didactic innovation, social innnovation, development and the reduction of world poverty.
This year there will also be other special categories, a novelty for the 2012 edition: “ICT for the integration of migrants and refugees” in collaboration with the United Nations Alliance Civilization (UNAOC), “ICT for sustainable environmental development” in partnership with Legambiente.
The Global Junior Challenge is an international competition rewarding the most innovative projects for the Education of 21st century and the Social Inclusion.
The competition, promoted by the City of Rome, and organized by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale, is held every two years.
The Global Junior Challenge takes place within the context of Italian Digital Agenda and Europe 2020. More precisely, the aim of the Global Junior Challenge is to encourage young generations and their teachers to use of the new technologies, exchange experiences and emulate successful initiatives.
To me GJC was an important moment of my life as an innovative educator and author of Digital Open Resources to my students, in Secondary education (High Junior School).
In 2004, I participated at Global Junior Challenge and submitted my e-learning project Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens.
When I received an email from Silvia Celani, responsable of Global Junior Challenge telling me tha my e-learning project, Secondary education, Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens was among the finalists projects.
And she invited me behalf the Global Junior Challenge to go to Rome to present my project at the exhibition of the Finalist Projects at Palazzo dei Congressi in Rome to share my pedagogical and innovative experience with thousands of students and their teachers.

at Palazzo dei Congressi, Roma
Never forgot the stand 473 - Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens – PORTUGAL just in front of the great door that opened every day to thousands of Italian schools students and teachers to visit us.
They were absolutely amazing! Asking for details, testing the activities on Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens, asking, choosing, doing, laughing and learning languages online trough educational free open resources created for me to young students.
Teachers was so curious, asking me how my students work online in the classroom or after school time, at home. They were surprised and so motivated.
At the final ceremony, I was very proud of my work! You can read my chronicle here (Portuguese language).

elearning project | Secondary Education
Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens was the first project for Secondary Education using ICT to enhance Languages curriculum, Portuguese, French foreign language.
You want yo know how it started? Read the entire experience on "Le défi d'un apprentissage pris à coeur" on ÉduFLE.net an educational network in French. You can also read on my blog (French Language).
The first online learning experience for my students used in formal and informal learning, complementing the school curricula in a blended learning process.
Later, a lot of French teachers or educators teaching French and Portuguese as foreign languages use Kidzlearn Lugares & Aprendizagens in their lessons
with success. They wrote me telling me their good experiences.

Kidzlearn Lugares&Aprendizagens
"Kidzlearn Lugares&Aprendizagens offre agli studenti la libertà di scegliere l’attività o le attività a seconda dei loro interessi o ritmi di apprendimento, indipendentemente dal luogo, dalle ore e dal momento.
Nel dopo scuola o senza andare a scuola, nel contesto di un corso di francese or portoghese o semplicemente per piacere, gli studenti più giovani possono apprendere una lingua divertendosi o anche per superare le difficoltà che incontrano durante i corsi ufficiali.
Nello stesso tempo, non sono soli, ma in contatto con l’insegnante in classe. Se non si tratta di miei studenti, possono contattarmi per e-mail o attraverso Messenger (gli orari sono elencati nel mio sito web).
Come ho avuto modo di scrivere nell’editoriale, abbiamo dato luogo ad una pedagogia comprensiva per questi studenti che hanno problemi di apprendimento e, senza volerlo, siamo arrivati a praticare questo tipo di metodologia in relazione agli studenti che presentano un ritmo di apprendimento molto rapido.
Inoltre, ho introdotto una motivazione allo studio della letteratura, presentando dei testi e degli autori a questa fascia d’età.
Kidzlearn Lugares&Aprendizagens | FrançaisLE
Kidzlearn Lugares&Aprendizagens si deve totalmente al mio coinvolgimento e alla mia passione per l’insegnamento e anche alla mia creatività e volontà di avvicinare maggiormente i miei studenti.
Il mio progetto è nato dall’osservazione diretta in classe, che spesso vede la concomitanza di lingua madre e lingua straniera, all’interno della quale gli studenti superdotati si vedono spesso obbligati a seguire i ritmi di apprendimento di studenti con problemi.

Senza pensarci, si è partiti da una nuova pedagogia, questa volta esclusiva. Questi studenti hanno un ritmo di apprendimento molto più rapido rispetto al gruppo o alla classe. Ho dedotto che dovessi occuparmi di questo problema, e che dovessi occuparmi di loro proprio nei momenti in cui si vedevano un po’ messi da parte mentre dedicavo maggiore attenzione agli studenti in difficoltà.
Da qui, l’idea di concretizzare delle attività complementari ai corsi di lingua madre prima, e poi dal 2001, di lingua francese.
Posso proporre delle attività in classe ad uno o due studenti, mentre gli altri lavorano in maniera diversa, secondo la specificità del loro livello di apprendimento o le loro difficoltà. Quindi, ognuno dei miei allievi lavora secondo il proprio ritmo o gusto.
Kidzlearn Lugares&Aprendizagens presenta un ulteriore vantaggio: gli allievi possono seguire delle attività nel dopo-scuola, a loro scelta e inviarle per e-mail. Allo stesso tempo, possiamo lavorare con Messenger (gli orari sono elencati sul mio sito), a seconda delle capacità o delle difficoltà, avendo indicazioni e suggerimenti, e potendo contare sulla correzione della pronuncia in rete (conversazione in diretta) ."
