The project won the 2022 European prize for eTwinning projects for pupils aged 16-19 years.

 

In this project, students go on a virtual railway journey. The participants catch an eTw-TRAIN and virtually travel around Europe visiting partner countries. The students, sitting in different compartments of the train, work together in international teams. While travelling, they create a travel diary and take part in various challenges with the aim to raise awareness about such topics as sustainable tourism, eSafety, culture, slow fashion, the circular economy and STEAM.
