    The project aims to have an impact in our students' longtime learning. This in mind, all key compenteces have been improved by the different challenges of the project.

    1)  Working in teams made them participate, make decisions, use innovation, creativity and risk-taking in order to manage the project and reach their goals.

    2) Students organised their own learning when working both individually and in groups. The project has engaged them in their learning proces up to the point of willing to go further in their knowledge and skills. This motivation and self-confidence or self-steem will be crucial to their individual's competence now and in their future.

     

    3)  Students have made use of scientific methods such as surveys, quiz and statistics, nutrition facts and food, physical activity, social studies referred to hobbies culture and traditions, geography of their region and their partners countries etc. All this development has been gained with the help of technology and different devices they already knew or have just discovered.

    4)  Students communication abilities have improved in both languages. On the one hand, they had to work with teams from other countries, using their second language as a true vehicle of understanding. On the other hand, they worked with their classroom mates. Choosing topics on interest range made them improve their social abilities as well as their use of the mother tongue as they needed to have a clear idea as well as fluent and accurate expression of the topic. They have efficiently discussed about what cultural aspect they want to show their correspondents and adjust their use of language.

    We can find all through the project and the students' evaluation, that four basic skills in language learning have been covered and improved.
