2. How do we work?

1. Let’s try at least once a week „check on” TwinSpace.

2. We work in such a way so that during the project we will exist in all TwinSpace areas intended for us.

3b. Articles can be written in German, English, Italian, French or in two languages simultaneously out of the three above mentioned. 

3c. Forms and the length of articles can be chosen freely (maximum size is A4).  A short text and an original form attract the reader’s attention.

3d. Works should be based on books selected for the Project or carefully chosen literary works as well as our observations and personal experience. They should refer to a situation In a particular region and include pupils` insights on a particular topic. The Internet can only be a starting point for further thoughts and research.

                            *It’s important how many articles you have published.

    It’s more important, though, how many articles you have commented on!

4. Photos from the project work, international meetings and information campaigns should be placed in bookmark Materials, bookmark Photos.

Read with us!” In a proper Thread.

7. Our intercultural dialogue takes place In different Forums.

7a. Articles are published in a proper Thread (as an answer) In a proper Forum of a particular subproject or one of its discussion aspects. .,but let’s not forget to look through and comment on other people’s works, as well. That’s a wealth of knowledge of our world.
