    Hello dear partners! I am a secondary teacher of English at a Spanish school situated in Larache, Moroco. This is my first year at this school. We have students from 3 years old to 18, but the school is not that big (240 students). I have already cooperated in other etwinning projects with my Spanish students. This year we wanted to learn and work the SDG to improve our students' knowledge of them and allow them to be main actors of the suitable changes in their hometown, looking also for a better future.

    Anna Monica MANCA from Don Tonino Bello - Copertino - LECCE

    Hello, my name is Anna and I have been an English teacher in different High Schools in Salento, Southern Italy, for seventeen years. I have been teaching English at "Don Tonino Bello" Languages High School for three years, an "open minded school" which likes new challenges. ETwinning is an excellent means to share new experiences. I am fond of foreign literatures and I always try to let my students passionate about it, particularly the English one. Because of my region's position, my favourite natural element is the sea and everything linked to it, like boating or laying in the sun. My students are becoming more and more conscious of the serious issue of the environmental changes, as a lot of beaches, of our territory, are disappearing because of the rise of the sea level. Our Earth's future depends on them!
