Independent experts assessment Expert 2 Comment “… The project’s core notion of historical recreation as a pedagogical project links to the Lisbon Strategy in developing new teaching methods and to the thematic priority of active citizenship. It associates … a concern for the preservation of our cultural heritage with a concern to develop a new approach to teacher training. It involves a quite complex interaction between interlinked objectives and activities, whose field of action is both within the school and in the wider community…”

We will appreciate the contribution of all teachers to our expedition to the past to implement the European dimension of education. We trust that ourselves, all the teachers and all the pupils taking part in this cooperation project will feel a little bit more proud of “our” culture and a little bit more “European” citizens. THANK YOU!
