Asia-Europe Classroom : Projects Overview

Welcome to Asia-Europe Classroom Network
Two Continents, One Classroom Learning beyond boundaries

AEC Projects are online collaborative projects that have been developed at the annual Asia-Europe Classroom Network Conference.

Based on the framework that their teachers and educators have worked out at the conferences, students from partner secondary and high schools in Asia and Europe join efforts to contribute to the completion of these projects using the Internet and other Infocomm Technology (ICT) tools to communicate and share knowledge with one another while building their common project websites during the course of the academic year.

Upon completion of the AEC Projects, an evaluation will be conducted to shortlist up to six AEC Projects to contend for the AEC Award at the upcoming Conference.

The co-ordinators these six most outstanding completed AEC Projects will be invited to present their AEC projects at each prospective edition of the AEC-NET Conference and will be eligible for the AEC Award which comprises of a cash prize of Euro 2,000 awarded to the top three ICT projects developed for the year. The prize should be used either to further develop the AEC Project or to develop a new project. The key criteria used to assess the AEC Projects are as follows:

•	The level of participation and involvement of students in developing the project;
•	The contribution that the project can make towards advancing intercultural understanding among high school students of Asia and Europe;
•	The effective application of ICT tools in promoting collaborative learning; and
•	The quality of the overall presentation of the project (design and structure).
