The game of values
About the project
Our etwinning is linked to the Erasmus Ka2. In our project we would like to give students opportunity to get in touch with people from other countries and create positive attitudes towards other nations, their culture and traditions.
Students coming from low income families have few opportunities to travel abroad and they have little motivation to learn foreign languages. Active participating in this project can be a tool to fight with social exclusion.
The main result will be a game made by each partner which is the tool to achieve the above mentioned goals. Creating the game, students will make up characters, outline a plot and game rules. Additional products related to the game will be: a travel guide-book, video trailers, leaflets and posters. The main objectives will be Increasing students and teachers’ competences such as team work, reading and writing skills, craftwork, and especially I.C.T. and English language.
