In this project students come into contact with each other in order to work on various topics(e.g.getting to know each other, presenting their school and their hometown, describing cultural events, festivities and local customs as well as typical products of their countries- local food, handicrafts). They can make new friends and learn about the lives of the young in the other country. The collaboration aims to help students in basic communication skills and give a strong sense of purpose to our teaching and learning.
