WHAT “LEARNING TO LEARN” KC IS ABOUT?

LEARNING TO LEARN Everybody learns every moment of the day. One can learn in various ways, like by talking to others, or by listening, by searching for information or by attending a workshop. Sometimes you learn because you are in a situation in which you know you will learn something, for example in school. You know the teacher wants to teach you something and if you pay attention, you will learn. But you can learn quite a lot in other situations too, sometimes without noticing. Afterwards you might think, "Hey, I learned something while talking to this person or because I was responsible for organizing something". You can develop this competence by making yourself more aware of your own way

• f learning. You then understand better from whom and how you learn most, from yourself,

from others or from certain situations. But you know what? You can make learning more fun if you also think about it up front. That means that you think about what you want to learn before the project or whatever you are doing on a certain day, on a certain month or in a certain project.

COMMUNICATION IN THE MOTHER TONGUE

Communication is the skill to understand and express ideas, facts and feelings. During our project you will be very active with your

• wn language.

For instance, you talk with the other participants, you write things down, you send mails to the other participants and perhaps letters to sponsors or businesses, maybe you write the text of poster or a flyer, maybe you make invitations, read notes or articles, etc. So everyone learns something new. Perhaps you learn new (difficult) words which you didn't know, or you learn something about how to write a letter. Sometimes also the foreign participants ask you something about words or expressions in your language, and of course some dirty words!! This also makes you learn something about your own language. But communication is more than just words and language....it also has to do with the way you talk to people. So maybe you will want to learn something new about that.
