Students taking part in the project are working in groups in France, Spain, Romania and Greece, introducing themselves to the others, describing their family, the school environment and the educational system, discussing about their region and their city (architecture, houses within the sustainable development context, civilization, culture). They exchange ideas, suggestions, opinions, plans, designs, and images using IC tools.
Students in their countries surf on the WWW and look for material concerning the above subjects. They make crossword puzzles, riddles and diagrams trying to communicate and explain their customs, their interests, their hobbies and whatever they think their future will be like. They study, comment and publish the thoughts and the opinions of their collaborators about studies at University or job via blogs, power-point presentations and web pages.

• What is my school, the educational system, post compulsory education like?
• What is my town like? (Architecture and environment)
