The aim of the project was to reactivate the participants after the inevitable Corona break, as well as to promote physical and mental fitness. In addition, the joint training the project should also promote social interaction and intercultural skills. Capoeira is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and as a UNESCO school, our goal was to introduce young people to this special sport and its historical background.
The Roda of Global Cultures project is a firmly established project and part of the school profile of Iserlohn comprehensive school. In advance of the short-term project, an Erasmus+ project was already carried out in this area (VG-S2S-K-NW-19-24-059505). The positive experiences in the development of the students through participation in the project, as well as the inclusive approach and the integrative character, led us to offer this to all students across all years groups and was therefore included it in the school profile. The intercultural and sports pedagogical approach covers, an “active school term”, “holistic support”, “school without racism -” and is part of international school work.
