Proyectos de Creatividad, Actividad y Servicio del alumnado de IB del Británico
CAS (Creatividad, Actividad y Servicio) uno de los principios fundamentales del Programa de Diploma (PD) del Bachillerato Internacional (IB). Quiere decir que los alumnos del IB no se preocupan solo por los resultados, sino que también importa el desarrollo emocional, ético e intelectual.
Las tres áreas de la estructura de CAS están relacionadas entre sí con actividades específicas para animar a los alumnos a hacer conexiones entre las diferentes materias.
- Creatividad. Por un lado, la ampliación y exploración de ideas que llevan a un pensamiento o actuación creativa, original o interpretativa.
- Acción o Actividad. También, actividades que conllevan un desafío o esfuerzo físico que ayudan a mantener un estilo de vida saludable y complementan las tareas académicas.
- Servicio. Además, un intercambio colaborativo con la comunidad en respuesta a una necesidad real, lo que para el alumno significa un aprendizaje.
Este curso, el alumno de 1ºde IB Hugo Isberg, nos va a contar proyectos del área de CAS que sus compañeros de IB realizarán durante este año. Como ejemplo de ello estos dos casos: alumnos de IB crean el canal de youtube “Estudio Tips” para dar consejos sobre técnicas para mejorar sus hábitos de estudio y la actividad de Juan Orero, que ha probado el vuelo en parapente:
“If you’re struggling with coming up with project ideas or experiences for CAS, it’s a good idea to ask your peers what they might be doing for their experiences and/or projects, it can give you the inspiration needed to start on something, and you might even end up collaborating with them for your experience or project.
One CAS project being done this year is the Estudio Tips youtube channel, where Jorge García, Juan Orero, and Helena Giménez give out advice and tips related to studying and school to fellow students and other people their age. IB students may or may not find it hard to get a start on their portfolio, and running out of ideas for your CAS experiences is normal.
One common tip is to do something you haven’t done before. For example, one eccentric experience that comes to mind is Juan Orero’s paragliding experience, which isn’t exactly something you see everyday.
