Our project brings a new perspective on a natural element which is so familiar to our pupils-the river. Through common enjoyable activities, the children discover and share their findings with their counterparts. The children became aware of the importance of the river in the life of the community. Each participating team will present its river to the other participants in the project by providing geographic, economic and cultural interest information. We will present our river through drawings and photographs. Finally we will make a single map of Europe and we will put all the drawings and photos in the right place.
