ABOUT THE PROJECT

Our students are amazing and gifted. They can do things that we do not even suspect. They are creative but sometimes we are not aware of their talents. This project is a way to allow the European students involved in it to show and express what they can do and how creative they are. They will share their special talents and they will discover their partners’ ones. By doing so, they could become more self-confident , proud of who they are and happier!
