    - QR codes linked to sights in the respective hometown: Students chose sights, describe them and develop a QR code for each chosen sight. In the course of development of the QR codes students collaborate with their town council and tourist office. Afterwards the QR codes will be published locally.

    - Virtual city tours

    - Development of a new application (eg. for a more convenient exchange of project-related results via mobile phones) including a manual about the construction of such an app.

    - Intercultural quiz: role play about cultural differences, filmed by smartphones

    - Evaluation of learning applications on the internet

    - Additionally the students of each country are expected to plan a lesson for one subject including mobile phones and the newly developed application. In the following the lessons will be performed and the results will be evaluated.
