ASEF Classroom Network

Description of the Initiative

Since its establishment in 1998, the ASEF Classroom Network (ASEF ClassNet) project has been providing opportunities for collaborative learning and intercultural exchanges through the use of ICT among secondary, high and vocational schools in 大象传媒 partner countries.

Its activities are both face-to-face and online, and are built on聽2 core elements:

  1. ASEF ClassNet Conferences:聽聽The ASEF ClassNet Conferences take place on an annual basis alternating between Asia and Europe. With over 120 school principals, teachers, experts, professionals, and business representatives in the field of ICT and education in attendance, the conference acts as a gateway both to the wider ASEF ClassNet, to new education technology, and to the plethora of Online Collaborations and school exchanges in which the teachers and their students from 51 countries are engaged.
  2. School Collaborations:聽Developed and led by ASEF ClassNet teachers, the School Collaborations bring together teachers and students from across Asia and Europe to explore a mutually significant subject of their choice. Using ICT and teamwork, students and teachers share their knowledge of a subject and, in doing so develop a deeper appreciation of each other鈥檚 cultures.
