Project Information:

The idea of ​​this project is to use the book by Michael Ende: "The endless story" to carry out a series of collaborative activities, among the participating schools, which will be related not only with the promotion of reading by working on different aspects of the book, but also other important aspects in our common European environment, such as democratic participation, respect and understanding, communication and collaborative work. This will be promoted so as  to obtain a common result in which everyone will have the opportunity to participate and collaborate.

We will start from a common premise: Fantasia’s Childlike Empress is dying because of a terrible ‘nothing’ that is consuming her Galaxy. Boys and girls increasingly read less, spending more time with consoles and television and increasingly believing less in fantasy and magic, which is causing the disappearing of the Fantasia’s Galaxy, and with it its Childlike Empress.

We cannot do very much to help Fantasia as it was, but we can prevent fantasy and magic from disappearing, not only by reading stories and books, but by creating a new Galaxy over that ‘Nothing’, filling it with planets that will have inhabitants like us. It will keep the power of fantasy always safe and so, we will get the Childlike Empress survive and She will be able to continue governing with justice and democracy that new galaxy.

For this we will develop this project during the following six months developing a series of collaborative activities that will enable us to form a true galaxy living in peace and harmony, based on democratic principles developed by its inhabitants and that preserved magic and fantasy so that Boys and girls always have them at their disposal.
