The aim of this project is promoting the city of origin as a place worth seeing and visiting for tourists from all over the world. In the same time it offers the students a possibility to explore and get to know more information about the city or region where they live with its local specialties, unique traditions, customs and outstanding monuments. While doing so students will be encouraged to get in touch with pupils from different countries not only to learn about the life of children/teenages in different countries and make some "pen friends", but also to practice using English in basic communicating situation as is talking to a peer. Hopefully they will master certain language skills as well as they will gain some fluency with using various communication tools available on the internet.

The cooperation with school leaders meaning the teachers responsible for this project in their school will happen via email and eTwinning twinspace. The first step will be establishing the calendar of our activity. In June the first two steps of the project will be completed and the products of this work will be shared on Twinspace. Summer will be a time for students individual activity and then back in September and October the remaining parts of the project will be conducted. All partners will be responisible then for organisation of  work in their schools and sharing materials which will be entirely produced by students participating voluntarily in the project. Depending on the students engagement in their actions more exchange and cooperation between them may be organised.

The results of the project should be as follows:
- increase of knowledge about the student's history;
- awareness of the value of local traditions, history and customs;
- sharing the beauty and uniqueness of student's region;
- successful cooperration with students from different countries and making some international friends;
- mastering language skills;
- building students self-esteem in using English;
-giving students motivation to explore the language in order to find some words or use it properly and correctly;
- gaining knowledge of using Internet tools helping in communication;
- having fun with English.

ΤΕΛΙΚΗ ΠΑΡΟΥΣΙΑΣΗ

Με το πρόγραμμα αυτό οι μαθητές ετοίμασαν παρουσιάσεις που αφορούν τον εαυτό τους (σχολική ζωή, χόμπι κλπ.) προκειμένου να γνωρίσουν ο ένας τον άλλο και να δημιουργήσουν δεσμούς με μαθητές άλλων χωρών. Επίσης παρουσίασαν την πόλη που ζουν και το σχολικό και ευρύτερο περιβάλλον στο οποίο έκαναν τις παρεμβάσεις τους.

Thank you all for the collaboration!!!
