Hints for additional activities supporting the module implementation<br />
• Spend some time on the websites indicated in this module and find out whether or not they<br />
<strong>are</strong> of some interest to you.<br />
• Make contact with your National Agency for the LLP, in particular the person(s) responsible<br />
for the GIVE programme, and arrange a meeting.<br />
• Do also use other opportunities to leave the classroom or to bring in persons from outside<br />
your learning group as often as possible, e.g. visit NGOs, speak with organisations / persons<br />
that have already experienced LLP, GIVE programme and / or volunteering work and / or intercultural<br />
co-operation, visit locations where volunteering work is happening successfully<br />
etc.<br />
• This unit includes many activities which ask for the active as well as creative participation<br />
of learners in training – please make sure these activities <strong>are</strong> implemented.<br />
• Introduce different media and events, such as films, theatre, concerts, performances, exhibitions<br />
etc., to deal with some of the more generic topics of this module, e.g. social engagement<br />
and responsibility, intercultural exchange and learning, changes and risks of intercultural<br />
co-operation etc. Please make sure that the all learners participate in and benefit<br />
from such informal learning activities.<br />
• Follow daily news on TV, radio, in newspapers etc. more intensively when they focus on social<br />
engagement, volunteering work, intercultural co-operation in this field as well as EU<br />
programmes. Sh<strong>are</strong> what you have heard and read about these issues with the whole project<br />
