This term the Senior Room is taking part in a global project with forty six other schools from across the world called Human Differences. www.humandifferences.com
The map below shows the countries taking part. 
In order to be better global citizens, students need to tackle big questions. Real world problem-solving and innovation skills are vital for being an active participant in the 21st Century. The goal of this student-centered global project is to provide an opportunity for students from 30+ countries in over six continents to construct their own knowledge about differences between people and to create a growth mindset about overcoming and most of all accepting those differences. Most importantly, students will be encouraged to use their critical-thinking and reasoning skills to build deep knowledge about why differences exist, what effect they have on our lives and which criteria should be used to determine the value of things that separate us. Students will present their findings each week in the digital format of their choice (Office Mix, Sway, Video, etc.) on the “Human Differences” website so they can both learn from each other and set the stage for actual interaction in the final week.

We are all equal – Táimid go léir mar an gcéanna
The students in Clontuskert looked at the prompt questions for Week One and as individuals thought about how each question impacted them as Irish citizens. They then formed groups to discuss their ideas and each group worked on how to represent each answer in film form. Their responses were collated within the Senior Room Classroom Notebook on One Note which ensured that they could share ideas freely.
Each group then filmed two aspects of the film with the trailer created as a teaser before the final film was ready.
