An e-twinning project about the European Union was created by schools in Greece and Portugal to encourage intercultural dialogue among students from different European countries. Students researched and shared ideas on Padlets about issues related to Europe's history and current events to promote debate and understanding. Participants included students from over 20 countries who learned about each other's cultures and perspectives on Europe.

School year: 2017-18

About the project:
It is common to hear that people have short memories. Young people ignore historical
facts that have marked the lives of millions of people. Do not ignore the past to better
understand the present is a positive idea. After the Second World War, Europe became a
place of freedom, solidarity and cooperation.
Encouraging intercultural dialogue among young people from different countries can give
them a better understanding of everything that surroundsthem and, consequently, lead to
a more cooperative and supportive future society.
In addition, Dr. Carsten Witt, who is now 76 years old, has recently started walking across
Europe from Lisbon to Tallin. Along the way he will contact people from different countries
sharing ideas about Europe as a place of peace, freedom, cooperation and solidarity.
"InEuropewehavethechanceof creating a society which is basedupon positiveexperiences
and which doesn´t derive its existence because of the threat of war and destruction.
In this project we
created padlets on
the e-twinning
platform. Each
Padlet has a
motivational
question about
Europe and pupils
posted their ideas
there. They also
researched historical
facts and related
them with that issue.
To sum up,
encouraging
intercultural dialogue among young people from different countries
promote the debate by encouraging young people to present their points of view on current
issues and their possible connection with past events in Europe.
In a few words European students shared ideas and knowledge.
