You'll never guess one little CARD that you can read in a minute, could pack so many happy thoughts and special wishes in it! all partners will send a postcard of their locality to every other partner, writing about their locality, language, culture etc. to introduce new towns, cities, countries to their pupils. pupils work with their teacher to co-write the cards, discuss what they think is important to share with others about their locality and culture. cards will be displayed on a map of europe and will be shared throughout the participating schools e.g. through assembly or displays. a possible follow up could be to use the 'culture in a box' kit to move on to creating power point presentations on the same topic.
