ETwinnersTown Project

  • ABOUT THE PROJECT

     

    This project is designed around the school curriculum in a project-based learning approach.

    By one hand, we want students to know better their local environment, and culture; to learn about other people and cultures; to share information in a foreign language (English).

    On the other hand, we want students to improve their creative learning and the use of ICT tools in a new way.

    We will focus on important building in history to work on STEM subjects . Connecting schools subjects and creating for learning: integrated curriculum.
