EIU Best Practice Series No. 29: Promoting EIU through globally connected classrooms in Thailand

This issue presents a multilateral project in Thailand, which interconnected students from Thailand, United Kingdom, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Vietnam to share their values and thoughts on EIU issues. Through the portals of connection, students from different regions were able to collaborate in doing group works and activities, which were focused on sharing ideas on students’ interest and every day experiences. This case highlights the specific practice that encouraged students to actively learn from one another and understand the cultural diversity, which optimized the outcome of the students’ capacity in communication skills, language skills, and personal development as global citizens. In addition to strengthening the network among participating schools, the impact of the multilateral project extended to teachers while they were engaged in exchanging pedagogical methods and knowledge to support and inspire each other.
