摘要:The article discusses how cross - cultural communication based on information and communication technologies (ICT) may be used in participatory health promotion as well as in education in general . The analysis draws on experiences from a health education research project with grade 6 pupils in Nairobi (Kenya) and Copenha gen (Denmark) addressing the topic of physical activity in everyday life. The article outlines a sequence of educational events (the Cross - Cultural Communication (3C) model ) comprising exchange of letters, recording and exchange of film s 1 and Skype commun ication sessions interchanging w ith reflection sessions in the classes. The educational rationale for using cross - cultural communication is that meeting the unfamiliar (different children, cultures, schools and contexts) lead s to curiosity and reflection about one's own situation ; and subsequen tly that reflexivity builds action competence. In the present case study , the 3C model was used as a means of health promotion, but the approach may be used in relation to almost any topi c. The 3C model is discussed in relation to theories of co - learning, knowledge guiding and sharing and participation . The article discusses methodological potentials and challenges
