Getting to Know each other
Brief description of the project
As schools are microcosms in the communities, so we want students to learn to live with diversity as a contribution to more developed societies, just as biodiversity is responsible for maintaining the Earth and vitamin diversity or physical activity contributes to our health. We also recognize the need to develop and share educational materials and best practices that help us (students and teachers) find ourselves in the school reality after distance learning and during the pandemic. Our desire is to reintegrate classroom teams and the school community after/during online learning difficulties.
Mobility and hybrid cooperation will familiarize participants with the cultural heritage of partner school countries. It will also be an opportunity to reinforce a common European identity. Engaging students in physical and social activities will improve their well-being and psychophysical condition. The ecological initiatives implemented will raise ecological awareness.

Work Process
The first step will be to publicize the project. Then, students and teachers from partner schools will prepare posters about themselves and post them on the digital board. We will use any free digital program to create posters, for example canva or postermywall. We will take time for interaction between participants, adding questions to each other as comments.
