We work with students aged 12-17 from Spain, Italy , Romania, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey. We would like to celebrate the Europe Day in an original way so we've thought about the following: more different schools are needed for the project, and if possible from four different countries. Each school should group students into ten teams according to their ages and topics. That day, schools should arrange the classrooms and time schedules so that each group can write about a topic in one hour. Previously, teachers should have taken photographs of each student (13x15 approx), in which just their faces are shown. On 9th May, the photographs should be handed out to the students and write about the topic at the back. Photographs in each group should be kept in an envelope with the address of the group and country assigned to them so that we can build a spider web. When the activity finishes, a representative of each group will go to the post office accompanied by a teacher (It would be a good idea to take a picture of that moment so that we can publish it on the blog.)When the photos are received in each school, students can share the information given by their pen-pals and decorate the classrooms with the pictures. Topics: Me, my school, my town, my country, Europe (eldest students) The project is based on ordinary mail, but we can follow the process in a blog. Students mustn't write their names to keep privacy This project aims to encourage pupils in each country to examine their school community, the local area, their country and Europe. By comparing these ideas with the partners, pupils will be able to develop creativity as well as allowing them to reach positive conclusions about their own lives, as well as those in other cultures. We are looking for teachers of any subject in other different European countries in order to develop this project, in which our students will practise English as well as other languajes.

After the activity finishes, they could start new activities with the information they'll get from the other coutries. Besides, the schools involved could start new projects together. hide
