Essentials of Dialogue – developing the key
skills
Dialogue with schools from 2 different regions – through
videoconferences, team blogging or online learning community.
Then choose what suits you from:
Projects.Short standalone activities
supported by regular scheduled videoconferences.
Issues ModulesExamine specific global issues from a variety of faith perspectives; enables students to explore diversity whilst challenging them to engage with their own
communities
Special DaysShort learning opportunities to
prepare for multipoint videoconferences with special guests,
and community action
Online Learning CommunityUnderpins everything, giving opportunity for
consistent student dialogue through commenting, blogs, team blogging, fora and
uploads. Regular competitions too.
A common word explores the teachings of compassion.
Art of Expression – explores different traditions through their art, and asks
questions about the limits of expression.
Wealth, Poverty & Charity. Explores a range of ideas about responsible uses
of wealth, and how to respond to poverty.
EnvironmentExplores a range of ideas about the environment
and human responsibility.
We expect that all schools will do…
Dialogue
Face to Faith understands dialogue as an empowering process which
enables students to encounter the other in a safe environment;
transforming the unfamiliar into the familiar. It is profoundly
reciprocal, and rooted in an open, mutually respectful approach.
DialogueDebate
1 winner, 1 loser.
I marshal evidence to
support my point of view, and
defeat you by the power of my argument.
2 Winners
I learn from what you have to say, you learn from I have to say. We
both learn, but may agree to differ.

Dialogical skills
Cooperative Learning
Easy Dialogue
1. 1 Person stands and is interviewed by the
others for 1 minute.
2. Interviewers must use open ended
questions.
3. When time is up interviewers thank
interviewee.
4. Next student stands – repeat until every
has done.
“We’re all interviewees”
Response Question is
Better because…You have to listen
carefully Questions respond to what is being
said.Dialogue flows – it is not “stop and start”. Dialogue can grow.
Online Dialogue.
Limited access – only F2F Teachers and students
Moderation – constantly by machine, also by Foundation
moderators and by teachers. All pictures and videos.
Teach Good practice – encouraging users to report things that make
them uncomfortable.
Safe site?
How do students do online dialogue?
We want students to know that dialogue is the expected activity on the site, and they are constantly aware of how their contributions are dialogical through:
• Writing blogs
• Contributing to forum discussions
• Commenting frequently on one another’s work.
A good comment should either be enquiring – asking for more information or clarification, or reflecting – talking about the ways in which this resonates with the writer’s experience or beliefs.
Team Blogging
• Team blogging gives students the opportunity to engage and converse with their peers from around the world on global issues and shared concerns.
• Team Blogging involves 4 schools from around the world who agree to participate in a four week blogging project together.
• Each school commits to publishing students blogs on the Online Community for one out of the four weeks. For the remaining weeks, it is their responsibility to be actively engaged and responding to other blogs posted by their team blogging partner.
• Overall, we offer Team Blogging as an opportunity to practice collaboration, active listening skills, cooperation, critical thinking and enquiry based learning.
