This project is about the fictional character 'Kloß' that resembles a traditional Thuringian potato dumpling.
Pupils imagine what 'Kloß' looks like and will use their imagination to draw 'Kloß' and its relatives or create 3D models.
A 'Kloß' mascot will visit all participating schools. Pupils will help it write its diary and create its photo album.
The travel diary will also be used to introduce participating teams, schools and their area.
Pupils will create Kloß Christmas cards and send them to partner schools.
The project's main language is English. To support a multilingual approach texts in the native languages of the partner countries can be used if they appear together with an English translation.
The word 'Kloß' is pronounced like the English word 'close'; and in the course of the project participants will see how close we are.
In this PAGE you find our evaluation activities.
