Hello, I am Atsuko Shiwalu, a founder of Japan Art Mile.
Japan Art Mile facilitates an international collaborative project "IIME: International Intercultural Mural Exchange".
In IIME 4000 students and 200 teachers participate from 30 counties a year.
So it might be said that it is the very collaborative project, and that internationally collaborative project.
I will make a presentation of the IIME project at 20:00pm (GMT -5) on November 18.
The title is "IIME develops 21st century skills through international collaborative learning".

Nice if you share the FLOW of IIME learning activity and LEARNING EFFECTS by the attached images.
The project started in September and the participating schools made their-introductions in their unique ways. Some exchanged introduction-cards, some met face to face via skype, some made introduction-videos.
Please find how enthusiastic they are involved in this project here by their videos.
The students are trying hard and lovely to convey themselves to their partners.

As you see the flow, now is on the step of discussing the COMPOSITION.
Each pair of schools are talking about how to create their mural as outcomes of their collaborative learning.
