Project Leader: Viktoriia Hordiienko, Ukraine —\u00a0vikakalina70@gmail.com<\/a> Let\u2019s celebrate World Compliment Day<\/strong> to help students know how to make compliments and give the chance to know how the compliments are made in different countries. It will develop their cross-cultural awareness. Teaching children to give compliments is useful, as it develops their emotional intelligence, teaches them to see beauty in others and themselves, promotes the formation of a positive attitude towards others and makes communication more pleasant. Compliments also help to raise the mood and self-esteem of both the person who says them and the person to whom they are addressed.<\/p>\n Teams will be divided into two categories:<\/strong><\/span> Goals of the Project<\/span> Development of emotional intelligence:<\/strong> Formation of a positive attitude:<\/strong> Development of communication skills:<\/strong> Increasing self-esteem:<\/strong> Positive emotions:<\/strong> Positive perception of the world:<\/strong> General culture of communication:<\/strong> Increasing confidence:<\/strong> Improving writing skills:<\/strong> \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Timeline Details<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n January 1 to January 26<\/span> Request to join the private Facebook Group<\/strong> at This Link.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 1.2 Participants will join the Storyjumper<\/em> book website where all the material created by students will be kept.

\nWhen children learn to identify positive traits in others, they also develop the ability to see the positive in themselves, as well as the ability to express emotions and respect.<\/p>\n
\nCompliments help create an atmosphere of trust and positive communication, which is an important component of healthy relationships.<\/p>\n
\nChildren learn not only to give compliments, but also learn to listen and understand how others perceive them.<\/p>\n
\nThe ability to receive and respond to compliments helps children better understand their strengths and see themselves more positively.<\/p>\n
\nSaying or hearing a compliment brings joy and positive emotions, which makes communication more pleasant.<\/p>\n
\nThe ability to see the good in others helps children to perceive the world around them more positively. Compliments, especially addressed to children’s achievements, can contribute to motivation and the formation of a positive attitude towards learning<\/p>\n
\nThe ability to give compliments is an important part of the general culture of communication and politeness.<\/p>\n
\nWhen children learn to give compliments, it also helps to boost their self-confidence.<\/p>\n
\nThe Project will offer exercises where children learn not only to speak, but also to write and draw compliments, which contributes to the development of writing, artistic and speaking skills.<\/p>\n

Then the second team will start the first line and the first team will create the second one. All the example how to do it are given in the book and will be explained during our first online meeting.<\/p>\n
