AIMS

The main aim of this project is to raise awareness of the Europe’s rich linguistic diversity and encourage lifelong language learning in and out of school. It is our intention that students are exposed and familiarize with the sounds and the alphabet of other European languages, develop their creativity and learn about other European countries in a fun way.

WORK PROCESS

Every school will make one postcard for each of the partner schools with 3 sentences in the first language and in English. The postcards have to be posted until the 16th of September, so every school gets them on time for the EDL celebration. Photos of the postcards will be uploaded on the Twinspace. The project will be full of additional activities:

• posters exchange
• videoconrerences
• singing together (a compilation of songs in our national lgs)
• videos exchange
• pictures, logos, posters exchange
• Greetings in our national languages on Padlet
• collaboartive tasks such as: a presentation in Prezi, one poster online done together, voice recordings in Voicethread
• Besides, each school is invited to visit the “Submit your idea” section on the Twinspace and share with the rest of its partners their plans on how to celebrate EDL.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Our project will provide each partner school with the materials (postcards, songs, recordings, etc) to celebrate the European Day of Languages in their own unique way and give students the satisfaction of helping each other with the preparations for the event.
