    In your project collaboration and innovation is important and that is what we have to do.
    In the activities part students build up a common activity and you also design a class activity..That's also good.
    ICT tools are also used effectively

    it's a project very interesting because it allows students from several school to interact, as we are doing. I would not make any changes to your project that's great!

We will use communicative,collaborative,creative methods in each activities and fullfill them with digital skills. We will use'Cultural Heritage' as a topic in our activities. This project will involve 15/16 year-old students from 5 different schools.
