Treasures Of My Town eTwinning Project
About the project
Sometimes little is known about the place where one was born and lived for so long. This project aims to raise awareness among students on the enhancement of the historical-artistic-cultural aspects of their territory through methods of investigation, research, case studies, STEM and problem solving. Students will plan the stages of the journey together by exploring their own territory, discovering its positive and negative aspects, and recognizing the value of the traditions and historical, artistic and cultural roots of their city, in an atmosphere of sharing, open exchange and knowledge with partners.
