Student Life and Clubs
Education World Wide realizes the importance of socialization for children.
Even though online schooling is often criticized for lack of socializing, we are trying to bridge that gap.
One of the ways we do that is through extracurricular activities that allow students to share mutual interests and passion or have hobbies through school clubs. Education World Wide currently runs the following clubs:
- EduWW Book Club
- EduWW Writing Club
- Eduww Movie Club
- EduWW Music Club
- EduWW Photography Club
- EduWW Debate Club
- EduWW Gaming Club
- EduWW Tabletop and Strategy Club
- EduWW Chess Club
- EduWW Mental Health Club
The majority of clubs have two groups depending on the students’ age. You can read details about each club below.
EduWW Book and Writing Club
for students in grades 3 – 7
Description: We have compiled a list of children’s books that cover not only the evergreens of children’s literature, but also the newest additions to the genre. We’ll talk classics, novels, novellas, and short stories. We’ll dedicate 2-3 week per book, and in our meetings, we’ll talk about them, aiming for a true literary analysis. In between, we’ll read short forms in the meetings and analyze those as well. Each student will receive a short questionnaire with basic questions that they will fill once they read each book. These questionnaires are going to be a foundation for our club book debate.

EduWW Writing Club
for students in grades 8 – 12
Description: This club aims to teach students to write. They will discuss the literature and the written word in general. The club is dynamic, so students will get different tasks through which they will reveal and explore personal preferences regarding the written word and sharpen their critical thinking and communication through debates. Likewise, students will be invited to share their most proud and least proud writings and discuss why they like one and what they would improve in the other.

EduWW Movie Club
for students in grades 3 – 7
Description: This club is, in a way, connected with EduWW Book Club because the repertoire often consists of movies that are actually adaptations of books and comics. Upon watching a movie, participants discuss it and compare it to the book. All movies are suitable for children at a particular age.
Moderator: Diane
Timing: Wednesday 15:15 CET
for students in grades 8 – 12
Description: Students choose the genre and the movie they would like to watch. After watching the movie, participants discuss different elements of the movies, such as acting, screenplay, scenography, costume design, known actors, plot development, even cliches, etc. The club is dynamic and tends to involve each student in the conversation. Simultaneously they learn how to express personal preferences and explain why they liked or didn’t like something. Movies are age appropriate.

EduWW Music Club
For students in grades 3 – 7
Music club meetings engage and support students to express themselves freely through music. Every student chooses their own way which can be through writing songs, composing, playing an instrument, or singing. The main purpose is to learn how to communicate their emotion through music and reveal their talents. While listening to different kinds of music, different genres, and eras, we tend to analyze the song and its lyrics and talk about what is the hidden meaning behind the lyrics. In that way, children also learn to accept and respect different genres and styles. Besides that, in our music club, we have lots of fun by playing different music quizzes such as “Guess the Song,” “Guess the artist,” and different Music Trivia Quizzes.

For students in grades 8 – 12
Description: The main idea is to familiarise students with music, genres, instruments, and theory. Members will talk about music, music genres, and different instruments. Likewise, there will be a lot of listening to music. Sometimes it will be songs that students like. Other times the moderator will play the music they have never heard before. And, of course, afterward, they will discuss and share impressions and opinions. This club will also introduce students to music theory – what it is and how they can use it.

EduWW Photography Club
students in grades 3 – 7 and students in grades 8-12

First part will be theoretical and will allow students to learn and share knowledge about digital cameras, the basics of composition, and image editing, and get inspiration from iconic photographers.

EduWW Debate Club
for students in grades 8 – 12
Description: Once a week, members of this club will discuss interesting topics, research, plan, and finally defend their arguments. Some of the topics will be “Androids vs. iPhones,” “Is social media a force for good or bad?” and “Is democracy the best form of government?”.
The main goals of this club are to:
- build confidence;
- boost critical thinking;
- improve oral communication skills;
- practice collaboration;
- learn to adapt multiple perspectives;
- work on problem-solving skills;
- further develop emotion regulation;
- improve social skills;
- learn about trending topics.
It goes without saying that all of these skills are highly appreciated in the business world and have a lot of practical use in both academic and day-to-day life. Be prepared to test your outside-of-the-box thinking and take on an active role in your learning journey.

EduWW Gaming Club
for students in grades 8 – 12
Description: Imagine playing video games, but completing the game assignments won’t be the only thing required for moving on to the next level. Students will play a multi-player video game by interacting with each other and our tutor, who will instruct them in real-time sessions. Once they complete the first level, students must do a small test or answer a series of questions related to the learning material to unlock and advance to the next one. All games available in the camp will be PG 13, which means they are suitable for ages 13 and above. There will be no shooting or violent games included.
