What's Love & Poetry?

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The significant impact of Covid-19 pandemics and the consequent lockdowns made students turn to digital practices and many have put books and reading aside. It's important to go back to reading poetry, an important cultural heritage. Clearly, in this digital era reading has become a challenge. With this perspective in mind, this project will make us become more interested in poetry and in our national poets

This project aims at fostering students' reading and writing skills both in English and our mother tongue, as well as to develop communicative skills, critical thinking, creativity and ICT skills.

The project planning was designed in a cooperative way, and partner schools will communicate regularly through the Twinspace and/or videoconference and/ or email. We will meet students from other countries, learn about each other’s poetry and significant authors and write a collaborative poem among many other activities.
