Schools ! August in Review & 50th Anniversary of the World Heritage Convention !

 

50th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention 

https://whc.unesco.org/en/next50

The 50th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention will be celebrated on 16 November 2022 on the theme "The Next 50 - The future of World Heritage in challenging times enhancing resilience and sustainability."

UNESCO preserves 1073 World Heritage sites in 167 countries.

"Since wars begin in the minds of men and women, it is in the minds of men and women that peace must be built."

UNESCO uses education, science and culture to inform, inspire and engage people everywhere to foster understanding and respect for each other and our planet.

150 States unanimously adopted an ambitious Declaration for Culture at the end of the MONDIACULT 2022 conference, affirming culture as a “global public good” and reflecting countries agreement on a common roadmap to strengthen public policies in this field.

Education:

Arts is a cultural legacy for humanity. A fundamental part of our history that should be kept safe for future generations. They will be educated to appreciate culture.

Students can enjoy art or love the story behind an object or a place. Culture and art in education are an expanding field of educational research and practice informed by investigation into learning through arts experiences. 

Students will learn about World Heritage sites, about the history and traditions of their own and other cultures, about ecology, and the importance of protecting biodiversity.

 

On the 50th anniversary, invite your students to visit the UNESCO World Heritage website. Let them choose whose places they want to admire.

After tell students to discover the beautiful World Heritage sites from their country or countries. Finally, they will have some adventures on Patrimonito.

"It takes three things to make an animated film: world, character and story."

Pixar Animation is celebrating 25 years, 12 feature films, and 20 short films.

In honor of Pixar’s 25th anniversary, YouTube member NkMcDonalds put together a video montage of twelve feature films and 20 short subjects we  know and love! Consult the list here

If you like Pixar as much as I do, it will definitely make you smile and it might even make you tear up a little tiny bit. Watch the video below:

"At Pixar, we realize we are associated, in many people’s experience, with computers. We do use computers in the making of our films. However, at the center of everything we do is the love of story and the wonderful pictures that help tell the story. The computer lets us create worlds and characters that otherwise we could only dream of enjoying. The computer lets us invite you into the dream to dream along with us. The computer is where we finish our stories."

Pixar Animation makes the best films, there's no doubt. Each film is unique and special.

Congratulations Pixar! I will be back soon on Pixar and Oscar winner animator Andrew Stanton... 


Education:


Movies can offer teachers and students a nice motivating push to have a different lesson! Let's our students have the incredible adventure of 3D animation films to learn about the Narrative text.

Displaying movies in a face-to-face lesson is an important digital resource for students learn about the Narrative text in the classroom.
  
Students will create better storytelling, including good plots, characters and narrative points of view, the crucial elements of the Narrative text.

A Narrative lets us know something. It tells us what happened. It tells us a story. Our students love to hear, tell and write stories or narratives.
  

"Movies present language in a way that is often more natural than that found in course-books, the fantastic visual context aids understanding and boosts listening, and students just simply love them."
