And we\u2019ll be hearing about church services in Kenya.

In fact we have a couple of other new things up our sleeves before the end of 2015, so stay tuned!<!--more--> <\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely Palestinian<\/strong><br \/>\nDid you know that September 17th is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalcollaborationday.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Global Collaboration Day<\/a>, a new initiative to open the classrooms of the world to others. One person you may like to hook your class to is Atiyyeh Hussein Al-Habal who is using Skype to overcome the constraints of travelling in and out of Palestine. Listen how his 13-17 year old students\u2019 perspectives have been widened by connecting up with classes in Russia, Romania and the UK by Skype even including a short play showing how a Palestinian wedding is arranged. Atiyyeh Hussein is looking for opportunities to connect so do get in touch if you would like it to be one of your classes. You will find his <a href=\"mailto:honoredboy@hotmail.com\">email here<\/a> or you can contact us and we will pass on your details. In Skype you can have an audio only connection or audio with video. Video takes more bandwidth so my first question was why was it important to use video?<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internet.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3160 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internet-300x211.png\" alt=\"How many of you have Internet at home?\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internet-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Internet.png 794w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>absolutely rebellious<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the IATEFL conference in Manchester earlier this year I met Nda Kouassi from C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire who was experimenting with his English classes. Listen as he tells us how absolutely rebellious he is in a country where not only the curriculum but also the teaching methods are prescribed. I also wondered how Nda Kouassi\u2019s ideas were filtering to his colleagues\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely party<\/strong><br \/>\nIn our final slot, we will travel to Kenya. You may remember that I featured my daughter and one of her schoolmates in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/?p=3046\" target=\"_blank\">show 188<\/a> on a school trip to Kenya. The Danish students were each hosted in private homes and Caroline\u2019s family took her to church on Sunday. This was like no other church service Caroline had ever experienced before so let\u2019s go absolutely party.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that if you would like to connect with an upper secondary boys school in Palestine that Atiyyeh Hussein is looking for more partners. If you have an idea for the show then contact us.
