IB Community Theme: Sharing our humanity

What is the A1 Language curriculum for Bengali?

My son is an IB Diploma student at Oulun Lyseo lukio in Finland. For his Group 1 Language A1 he plans to offer his mother language, Bengali. However, we have not yet been able to find out what is the curriculum for Bengali so that he can make his choices and we can send him the required books.

Can anyone help? Anyone in Bangladesh? Or Kolkata? 

Looking for Children Around the World

Hi.  I'm the PYP Coordinator of Beacon School in the Philippines.  Currently, our second graders are doing an inquiry on Children Around the World.  

We would like to interview other students, ages 6 to 16, about their culture and lifestyle.  We'd love to do this through Skype or Tok Box.  

Our time zone is GMT+8, so if you're from the Asia-Pacific region and would like to participate in the project let me know.

MYP Schools Working Together

What do schools look like across the world?

This is the question that our students are working to answer.  As an MYP Candidate School, we are looking to swap emails, stories, and artifacts with other schools throughout the world.  Our students are interested in sending items to your students too!

Our schools can work together to help provide an excellent educational experience for all of our students.

Time for school - education in 7 countries

Time for schoolis a US PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) TV series which follows students in schools in 7 countries - Afghanistan, Benin, Brazil, India, Japan, Kenya and Romania - over a period of years.

 It delves into the schooling available to them, and some of the social, economic, family issues related to education.  The goal of the documentary series is to highlight the Millennium Development Goals for primary education for all. 

Possible new info for the TOK syllabus?

Hello all,

I am a first-time poster, so please bear with me ...  

As a recent graduate from the DP, I am interested in anything that comes through the media that relates to any part of the DP.  So, I have a link for those interested in the ethics and social science components of TOK in this post.
