Goal : to have a better knowledge of European countries.

Each country split a map of Europe into six pieces :

Then each country kept a piece of the map (the A part) and sends the other parts to partner countries, respecting the following instructions :

WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

Receiving a travelling bag with a letter, some souvenirs, a piece of the Europe's map, the jigsaw of the school and a small gift... is like a present to each of our students which will remember forever.

The travelling bags allowed us to learn about our partner countries, we improved our reading skills, we enhanced the value of European citizenship and we also strengthen the sense of responsibility towards the Europe of the future.

We arranged an exhibition about the gifts so that the whole school can share this lovely way of "meeting" the partners.

The Travelling Bags arrived in every partner school!
