A project that expands across Europe. Primary aged children make Christmas cards (to any specification as long as it is below the size of A4) and sign them in their own native language. These cards are then sent to a central hub (Walmley, Sutton Coldfield, England) by 24th November whereby they are distributed out to all the schools around Europe. Each school will receive cards from various nationalities and therefore extend their global citizenship amongst children of a similar age.
