MENTARI INTERCULTURAL SCHOOL BINTARO

Tangerang, 6 October 2017

Dear Colleagues,

On Tuesday, the 24th of October, MISB will be celebrating the founding day of the United Nations with the
theme “Sustainable Tourism, a tool for development.” In line with this, the Social Studies and History and
the IPS Departments would like to propose a collaborative project among different subjects for your
respective classes. Given the interconnectedness of the nature of our subjects, we would like to suggest
for your students to participate in a video-making competition about the aforementioned theme. This
video could be in the nature of a promotional/advertising material that would attract tourists to visit the
place/places being promoted, while at the same time, endorsing the value of sustainable tourism.

Possible collaboration subject combinations are as follows:

Grades 9 & 10:

(Social Science subjects) History/Business/Economics
AND/OR (IPS subjects) Sejarah/Geografi/Ekonomi/Sosiologi

ICT

Grades 11 & 12 UN:

Global Perspectives AND/OR Enterprise
AND/OR (IPS subjects) Sejarah/Geografi/Ekonomi/Sosiologi
AND/OR (Languages) English/Bahasa Indonesia

Grades 11 & 12 IB:

(Social Science subjects) History/Business/Economics/ITGS/ESS
AND/OR
(Languages subjects) Language A and Language B (English & Indonesian)
AND/OR
(IPS subjects) Sejarah/Geografi/Ekonomi/Sosiologi

If you find this idea helpful for your respective classes and you are willing to work with other teachers,
you are not just encouraging students to enter the video-making competitions, but you are also willing to
give their work credit in your subjects.

In that case, may we request that you ask your students to sign up as competitors in the
competition, the judging of which will be on Monday, 23 October and the winners will be
announced on Tuesday, 24 October during the UN Cultural presentations of grades 7 and 8 in the
MPH. The 1st place – 3rd place winners will receive trophies, recognition certificates and interesting
prizes. Recognition certificates will also be given to those who participated.
