INTRODUCTION
The project aims at enhancing the value of traditions and cultural roots and European identity at the same time.
Pupils and teachers from Poland, Turkey, Italy, Spain and Romania in fact could compare costumes and traditions in Europe, developing linguistic and digital tools.
Participating schools range from the primary to the secondary cycle.
These are the goals which have been achieved:
- to improve language skills (writing, reading, listening and speaking English)
- to develop ICT skills through using them in the project
- to broaden pupils’ knowledge about holidays and festivities in different countries
- to develop intercultural awareness by learning about traditions in different countries
- to see the same festivities from different perspectives
- to inspire others and to get inspired by others
- to experience the power of international teamwork
- to learn about different countries
- to encourage pupils to be creative.
