Let's play EU 60: an etwinning project on the European Union

This year is the 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome with which the basis of the European Union were created. Class II G of the school "L. Da Vinci e O. Nucula" in Terni will celebrate this event through an etwinning project together with other two schools from France and Spain. 

The main aims of this project are: 

- to work in teams,

- to share ideas and methods of work both among sts and teachers,

- to improve their English (writing and speaking),

- to use ICT to improve their technical skills,

- to present their towns, their countries and some EU institutions using ICT tools and creating games: online games (using learning apps and appinventor, QR codes), boardgames, quizzes,

- to get to know other EU countries and cultures, to broaden their horizons through realizing we are part of a bigger community: the UE, to make EU friends

Here are the names of the teachers and the schools we will work with. 

Making Films, Making Friends!

Students of class III G will be involved in the eTwinning project "making Films, Making Friends" together with students from France, Norway, Portugal and Poland.

The main aims of the projects are:
