    I think it is a good idea to write (in English) few sentences about Easter tradition in our country. YES, very good idea. Especially, the older students can easily do it. The younger ones could only write happy easter in english and their native language. 
    Can we write "Happy Easter" in the language of our country or do we write in English only? Should we write a short letter presenting our country, our traditions, etc...? I think there should be no limitations. If your students are feeling creative and want to do more than a simple card with wishes, greetings etc, they should do it. 
    how we can create a cards ? I would suggest the usual way of making cards. Using cardboard/craft paper, ading decorations and wishes. 
    photos only? Students make the cards and teachers take pictures of them uploading on Twinspace. 
    how do Ι send the cards? You can put all your cards in a big A4 envelope and send via post office to your partner country. 
    Is it necessary to add students on Twinspace? No, it's not necessary, but it is nice idea, especially for older students, so they can take a look at our/their work and organize some other activities based on the platform. This depends on how the teacher wants to communicate project in his/her school community. 
    Is it necessary to give out parental consent forms? This depends on your school/country policy and the material you want to upload on Twinspace. In all cases, it's nice for parents to be formally aware of their children's participation in a  program like that. 
    I am in a group of 3 schools, how do I organise my cards? THese details you can discuss them with your country pairs. However, I suggest splitting your cards in half and sending half cards to the frist school and the other half to the second one. That, also, means that you will receive cards from the two other schools that belong to your pair. 
    Can I make a digital ebook/ecards? Of course you can! We are open to creative ideas and innovation! Of course part of your work should be posted as planned to your pair countries. 
    We don't have the same number of students with my country pairs. How can each student receive his/her own card? Unfortunately, it is impossible to find matches with the same number of students. My suggestion is to ask your country pairs prepare maybe some more cards for your students so everyone gets one. Another idea is to decorate your school and the classrooms with the cards you receive, and so they belong for everyone to enjoy. I did both ways in the previous projects I worked and all went fine.
    Apart from drawing a Easter card and writing a brief tradition from Easter in our country. Will be a good idea to introduce students themselves also in a short introduction in the same card? It would be a good idea for a student to introduce him/herself, but I think, this doesn't exactly fit to the content and the purpose of a card. Maybe some basic info such as name, country and age, would be nice, but, I am not really sure if a short introduction fits. However, you can try it. The plan is to make Easter cards, if you feel creative into adding sth else or improving the idea of a greetings cards, you are more than welcome to do it. 
    We could make 2-3 greeting cards with each student, so that each student receives. Of course! This is a matter that you discuss and agree with your country pairs.
