The aim of the project is to develop awareness of international cultures and those of partner schools. Schools will compare and contrast the features of their own areas with those of their partners as well as considering each others´ traditional tales and folklore. Through the exploration of our themes and the development of communication skills, we aim to instil a sense of our common European identity
