The idea is to have children experience some activities of informal education to rights or simple and enjoing games about teaching human rights to kids (inspired by CoE manual "Compasito" or sites of human rights associations). We can do it together, focusing on the main children's rights and duties, exchanging the materials and putting them in the twinspace, such as in a virtual mail box to send them to the partners. In the twinspace might be a section about "US" and our identity, in which introducing ourselves and exchanging materials about us. Other sections will be dedicated to the single activities experienced by the partners. Another easy and fast way to communicate can be the project diary, in which the pupils can write simple messages about their feelings on the activites they do.
