About the project
|
The project is aimed at helping our students to raise their awareness of the diversity of our world and to understand that this diversity of religions, languages, cultures and ethnicities can't be a pretext for conflict but a treasure that enriches us all. Exploring their own environment and those of their peers in the other partner schools should help young students develop capacities for independent judgement, critical thinking and ethical reasoning.

|
Aims
