Twig is an online learning platform for science topics and consists of over 600 short high-quality films and multimedia teaching materials to help teachers enthuse and educate students aged 11-16 about science - Biology (including Health), Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science.
The 4-minute film 'Et si c'était toi?' was produced in 2008 by 17 to 18-year old students of the secondary school Lycée Technique du Centre in Luxembourg. With the generous time and effort of students of class 3IF1 and their French teacher, this film was made largely outside of school hours, in the framework of the project 'School without violence' (Lycée Sans Violence). An educational guide discusses the topics of bullying and suicide, the warning signals, suggested attitudes towards a victim and the guide also facilitates an interactive group session.
Patient Safety - Mildred's Story is a film based on real life experiences that follows elderly patient Mildred from suffering a stroke, through a number of experiences in hospital to a final life-threatening incident. This fictional story is aimed primarily at student doctors to explore and discuss patient safety issues and to provide tools for dealing with problems.
Anti-Anti is a multimedia supported pervasive game that was created by secondary school students of the Sint-Lievenscollege Gent (Belgium) to sensitise students for a national day against useless violence. Students participating in this 50 minute game had to search a fictitious murderer in their school through clues provided in mp3-files and video clips.
Changing Lives is a video explaining the different aspects that are involved in organising a local sports club for Special Olympics Ireland to new volunteers (and starting clubs). It guides you through the different volunteer roles and shows the common sports activities as well as some related activities you might not think of which are organised in a sports club.
