Beginning
The idea of this project was born a year earlier, when we finished our previous project about similarities and differences in students’ life in Poland, Portugal and Italy. The coordinators decided to develop the cooperation and to let students know more about each other’s countries, regions, culture and traditions.
The aims of the project are:• to interest students in history and culture
of their regions and countries, • to show them how they can use ICT in
their learning process, • how to learn from their peers’ works • to make students realize how beautiful
their country is and that they should be proud of it,
• to encourage students to improve their English by using ICT.
The project was divided into six parts – topics:
PART I: "Welcome to our home towns" (one day trip in students' favourite places in
their home towns)
PART II: "Welcome to our school" (students present their schools)
PART III: "Travelling to the Past" Students exchange information about their favourite traditions, events in their regions
(connected with festivals, history).

PART IV: - "Different places, different flavours" - each group of students describe their favourite typical food in their countries.
PART V: "Who's who in our region and country" : famous people who lived in our regions and countries.
PART VI: “Welcome to my country” - students make presentations with general
information about their country, choose interesting places in their country and
present them.

Posters or leaflets – an invitation to their home town and region
Leaflets from Poland
One of the aims of our project was visiting each other country, if possible. Two of the visits took place: Polish group visited the capital city of the Czech Republic - Prague, Portuguese group visited Polish school and together with Polish students they visited some historical Polish places, made friends with Polish students and knew Polish cuisine and culture. They also visited the city of Prague.
