This project started out with the aim to send out a few postcards for the European Language Day. Having enjoyed the fun of it the participants resolved to make this an official project and stay together to contact each again at other occasions as well. The path of this project is still open to development and ideas that arise as we go along.

Each partner had to send one postal item to each of all the other participants, thus receiving the same number of postal items from across Europe.

They will write in their native languages but also translate what they have written into English as the common project language. Thus, they are able to bridge the language gap plus get to learn bits and pieces about other languages. Additional means of communication are open to further discussion and decision between all group members. hide
