Partner schools send each other postcards of their town or country with some simple sentences (greetings, short description of the place) in their own language with English translation or in the language they learn at school. Students paint Europe on a very big poster, using a different colour for each state, and stick the postcards they receive on the big puzzle of Europe, where every single piece is important and needed. A Google map of the involved schools is also created. Eventually teachers help students decode all the gathered information and perceive differences and similarities among places, landscapes, ways of life, languages. Possibly students research and learn more about countries.

Postcards help them visualise various landscapes and be more aware of differences between north/south, sea/mountain, city/country, and so on. The text in the postcards not only gives some basic information about different places and ways of life, but it also helps displaying languages spoken in Europe and in the world. ocultar

(Lists with all the addresses, the age of the students and the languages spoken will be sent to each partner school). When students start receiving postcards from partners, they stick the postcards on a big poster where Europe is painted. An active observation of the poster and possibly a research work are to follow. A Google map of the participating schools will be created and files with information and photos about the countries will be exchanged among the partners. ocultar
