This eTwinning project involves students from several European countries presenting information about their home cities. Students will take photos of their city, write descriptions, and share them online. They will then view and vote on each other's photos. Additional activities include creating a project logo, exchanging letters, and publishing an online newspaper. The goals are for students to learn about different regions, improve communication skills, and develop a sense of both local and European identity. The project will last 2 months and involve high school and vocational students aged 14-18 communicating in English using tools like TwinSpace, Flickr, and blogs. The pedagogical approach is based on project-based learning and collaboration to encourage cultural understanding.

To make students realise that we all live in one large family the EU. We
are different, we have different customs, festivals, and foods but on the
other hand we are the same. We all are modern people who want to live
in a free society and to know about the others.

be used instead of the suggested TwinSpace,

To use the site Magazine factory to achieve an online

other places, so international collaboration can be encouraged.
