1 - Our project

  • Since 2001, the European day of Languages is traditionally celebrated on the 26th September.
    Linguistic diversity is a path to greater intercultural understanding.

     

    For this reason, we decided to pursue action in favour of languages to highlight:
    - Europe’s rich linguistic diversity, which must be maintained and encouraged
    - the need to diversify the range of languages learned (including less widely used languages), which translates into plurilingualism
    - the importance of developing living language skills for full participation in democratic citizenship in Europe.

     

    Objectives

    - Students will become aware of the date we celebrate linguistic variety
    - Students will use English and their native languages to communicate with peers from other schools across Europe
    - Students will use communication tools
    The project will also  :
    - make students know from other countries, meet new friends
    - learn more about each others cultures to overcome prejudices and transmit tolerance
    - will work on respect for others and respect for oneself

     

    Working procedures

    Classes in schools all over Europe will write postcards with the words peace, love, and tolerance in their different european languages with students from 2 up to 19 years of age.
    The postcards will be send in due time to each school involved

    The teams will make a final product such as videopostcard and upload it on etwinning space
    The TwinSpace will be our major communication tool

     

    Expecting results

    At the end of the project , each team will have received a variety of postcards that can be displayed or gathered in a scrapbook.

    At the same time, each team will be able to acess and listen to/watch peers using English and their own languages
