AGE GROUP
This project is for any age group. It is also suitable for EFL students at the basic level.
- Project developer/manager/coordinator: Stellan Kinberg
In cooperation with teachers in the Kidlink association Board.
Project background
The project is a short version of the “Who Am I” program.
- The Roots project author: Epi Sepulveda
- “Who Am I” program creator and developer: Patricia Weeg (USA), Odd de Presno and Anne Tove Vestfossen (Norway)
The project supports the students to identify and appreciate themselves within their own family lineage.
They will be encouraged to gather information about their heritage from various sources (parents and if possible, grandparents).
We all know our own countries very well, but what about the “others”?
Our companions come from countries, near or/and far.
The students are invited to ask other students to know more.
The global dialog is the main focus of the project. It is critical that kids have enough time dedicated to the dialog. So teachers need to guide their students in answering the questions.

Development phase 1 (running now)
Running Question 1: Who am I? – Discover and describe yourself
Go to this page to read activities for this question.
STUDENT ANSWERS: We suggest you let your students answer the questions during 2022-2023 in Padlet.
Added to Phase 1 in 2024 – Intrapersonal and other skills
(from 2024)
All students have their specific potential.
Growing up, they discover their potential, intelligence and skills.
The teachers can help their students with this.
It is also important to develop intrapersonal skills, in other words, growing empathy, like e.g. recognizing their own reactions and getting better in the face, voice, and behavioral recognition. With improved intrapersonal skills they become better in interpersonal relations.
It is known that students with good interpersonal skills succeed better in school and later at work, as they become better at avoiding misunderstandings and conflicts.
During phase 1, the students get time for an introduction to intrapersonal, interpersonal and other skills.
Development phase 2 (from spring 2023)
Adding question 2: What are my roots? – Looking back in time.
Do you have any old photos of your family? With your parents permission, share photos with your class.
- Have your family moved from the city/nation where you were born?
When did you move?
Do you know why you moved?
Ask your parents to tell you about the places that you can’t remember because you were too little when you left.
