This day is an International Day of Dalton Education. Several years ago the Dutch Dalton Association took the initiative to celebrate Dalton every third Wednesday in March.
From this occasion, Dalton International
would like to wish also the International Dalton Schools , Members, academic and
training centers a meaningful celebration.
Days such
as the International Dalton Day need to focus on one main theme to be
significant. This year’s theme of International Dalton Day is “Building a World
Dalton Culture”.
In order to
track the way of building bridges between cultures, the International Dalton
Schools will lead an analysis on global skills to meet the needs of the new
societal demands.
Most of
all, the analysis will concern global and intercultural dimension of Dalton
education across the world. A special attention will be paid to teach
“intercultural competence”, necessary to be empathic, open minded and flexible
enough to handle all cultural differences as well as teaching communication
skills, necessary to operate as one team in every school. Moreover, the aspect
of cultural diversity as well as sustainable living practices.
The results
of analysis will be shared for a public view.
