Title:
Things you should know about my country
Project description:
The students of all participant schools present things and facts that all should know about their own country or
region on a common Website
This will be a cross-curricular project, many subjects can be included (Geography, History, Music, Art,
Economics, Sports, English....), so this is fine for projects with several participants of the same high school
Any way of presentation is allowed and should be found by the students (Video, photos, art, podcast...). This
project wants to be also a contribution to the idea of Inclusion/inclusive education because every participant
contributes in his own way, depending on their level of competence
