Greetings across the miles - a very simple project in which schools exchange postcards of their local area with a simple greeting in their language. To start as soon as possible and be ongoing. Schools can be involved for one postcard or several. Would like to launch it for EDL on Sept 26th. After initial greetings postcards, we might move on to exchange other information such as recipes, games, local area, famous people etc. Once initial links are made, it would be good to establish electronic contact too, email, exchanging eg videos of school grounds.
