About:

6 European schools join the MysteryTwinning project in order to motivate students study foreign languages, learn from each other, arise their curiosity towards other countries and foster their feeling of European citizenship. The activities are based on the use of the “Mystery Skype” methodology, quizzes, research,  exchange of information about the partner countries and emphasize the educational value of cultural heritage.

Aims:

• To use technologies for educational purposes

• Students create their own profiles - introduce themselves: Avatarmaker, etc. 
• “If you were us?” - students create short video about a problem in another partner country: YouTube.
