We are interested in a variety of hobbies that children all around Europe have. We would like to see how similar or different our hobbies and free time activities are. We hope to learn from each other how to use our free time wisely. Moreover, we are eager to get to know our partners – their school and hometowns, their families and each individual student taking part in the project (and teachers as well!). We are looking forward to establishing long-lasting friendships.
