What is Global Stay Tour?

A Global Stay Tour is a digital education offer and a study trip that can take place directly from the classroom or even from the student’s home – all it takes is a screen and internet connection. The personal encounter is at focus when Danish students are digitally welcomed to Kenya or Bolivia by young people who will act as their cultural guides on the “trip”. Together with their cultour-guides the students will investigate issues such as climate change, responsible consumption, gender equality and other Global Goals-challenges. 

The digital trip gives access to experiences, which the students would not be able to have on a regular study trip, as the local cultour-guides are able to show places that wouldn’t otherwise be accessable. Through the personal encounter and an equal dialogue, the students will gain insight into the challenges young people in other parts of world face. Additionally, their international perspective will be broadened, their engagement in the world will be strengthened and their prerequisites for creating changes will grow.

Your Global Stay Tour can go to either Kenya or Bolivia, where Spor Media collaborates with the cultural organisations Nafsi and Teatro Trono:

• Nafsi Africa in Kenya offers classes in acrobatics, dance and music to children and young people in the slums of Nairobi, while trying to make young people aware of the world in which they live.
• Teatro Trono in Bolivia is a grassroots theatre and cultural project in El Alto, known as “the capital of Bolivia’s indigenous peoples”. In the organization’s two culture houses there is a range of cultural activities for children and young people to participate in.

The organisations have worked locally to strengthen the communication skills of the cultour-guides in order for them to tell stories about their life and the place they live. They have received education from local journalists and learned about how to control a smart phone in the best way to create good sound and pictures. They are therefore well-equipped to the role as cultour-guides. 

Content: 

A Global Stay Tour should take place over a minimum of three school days of 1½ -4 hours duration in order to secure a meaningful and rewarding experience. In addition to the meetings, you should set aside time to preparation and processing after the tour including presentation of products for the partners in the Global South.

The activities on a Global Stay Tour can be: 

• Swahili- or quechua-lessons
• Concert with the women’s band, Pepea Afrik
• Interview with local experts
• Guided tour with cable cars (teleférico) from El Alto to La Paz
• Visit climate activist, Kisilu Musya

The activities take place in plenary as well as in small groups, where there is more room for talk and questions, with Danish students and their cultural guides.

Samarbejde ml. Bolivia/Kenya og Danmark:

Jeres Global Stay Tour skal gerne munde ud i et fælles produkt. Det kan eksempelvis være:

• Kronik i et lokalt dagblad
• En fælles sang med tekst skrevet af danske elever og musik komponeret af Pepea Afrik (Kenya)
• Video, evt. filmet i Kenya eller Bolivia og redigeret i Danmark
• Udstilling med fotos fra Kenya/Bolivia og fra Danmark
