The project is an overview of the special events, days, celebrations, highlights and daily life in school taking place in one year in different European schools and countries. We are going to collect and share data about the schools, the special days, the surroundings of the schools. We wish to stimulate the creativity of the students by planning and producing a monthly calendar. Our aim is to raise the students’ awareness of the other European countries and their customs and traditions in order to help them become better European citizens. The project will also involve students with special needs, so that they can have the chance to interact with peers from other countries using their own skills and abilities.
