An Etwinning Project

The project

This project will consist of a blog in which students will post pictures they take and edit with a detailed description underneath it. The partners will read each other's posts and leave comments to each other. Every month they will have a different theme to work on. The students will be also paired and send some materials through postal mail.

Aims

The main aim of the project is to work on geography, art, culture and history of European countries and thus getting to know other European countries in order to build a common future and increase the European dimension. The project also aims to improve and practice reading and writing of English texts, taking and editing images, and using blogs to communicate with others. Other values tackled through the project are that of respecting differences and working collaboratively.
