Our life is always related with nature! Our project is divided into four parts, just like the seasons: Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer.
We would like to spy on the nature through the whole project by checking weather conditions ( such as temperature, rainfall, cloudiness) and watch it’s influence on our mood, the way we spend our free time etc. We’ll present the results as pictures, photos and descriptions.
The project will be focused on the topics which can be interesting for the students.
Firstly, we would like to make a short commercial or a poster to present our countries and schools but not only through history. Famous people of our times and interesting places for a bike trip will be something you cannot find in books.
Also we’ll try to create first emails to each other to present ourselves, who are we, what do we like and so on.
Than, we would like to focus on the most important holidays in our countries by creating a whole year calendar of holidays with short explanation of most interesting and rare customs.
Afterwards, we’ll prepare the celebrations of 60th Anniversary of United Europe in our schools and neighbourhood, by presenting materials prepared by the students about UE, announcing contests and making picnics where we can serve meals by our partner’s school recipe or present music from their region.
The last part we’ll be the moment for summary and reflection about the future.
We’ll present our plans for holidays and ideas for the future. We’ll be looking for first signs of Spring.

The project will be focused on the topics which can be interesting for the students.
Firstly, from October till November 2009, we would like to make a short commercial or a poster to present our countries and schools but not only through history. Famous people of our times and interesting places for a bike trip will be something you cannot find in books.
Also we’ll try to create first emails to each other to present ourselves, who are we, what do we like and so on.
Than, from December 2009 till January 2010, we would like to focus on the most important holidays in our countries by creating a whole year calendar of holidays with short explanation of most interesting and rare customs.
Afterwards, from February 2010 till March 2010, we’ll prepare the celebrations of 60th Anniversary of United Europe in our schools and neighbourhood, by presenting materials prepared by the students about UE, announcing contests and making picnics where we can serve meals by our partner’s school recipe or present music from their region.
The last part, from April till May, we’ll be the moment for summary and reflection about the future.
We’ll present our plans for holidays and ideas for the future. We’ll be looking for first signs of Spring and celebrating the Europe's Day! hide

Students will prepare the presentation about their country and school. They will get knowledge about the history of their country and customs and also about the countries and customs of partnership schools. Students will prepare the whole year calendar of all most important holidays. We’ll present the celebrations of the Europe’s Day in our schools on our project’s web site. Students will also improve their skills in using ICT tools.
Because there are students with special educational needs and students from rural areas working on the project we’ll put stress on students’ independence on creating materials so that they could present all their skills and ideas.
