SHORT DESCRIPTION

The project is to focus students’ perception on European culture, history and nature as our common heritage. Students share presentations (e.g. intro videos/pictures/VR tours) about a local/national/European landmark in their country. 
The partner schools reflect on the presentations in a way they choose themselves (varying from making the miniatures of the landmarks to class discussions, concerning the landmarks). The videos enrich European events at partner schools in May. On May 9th all partners meet in a virtual event to celebrate the unity of Europe.

PROJECT LANGUAGE

We use English to communicate with partners and prepare the outcomes of the project.
