Our eTwinning teams!

Starting point Τhe starting point for the project was the information that a time capsule of 1914 hidden in Boston City Hall has beenfound and opened after100 years.

Basic aim

Students had to make a time capsule and to “bury” it during the spring of 2015 somewhere in the surroundings of the school.

The time capsule would contain mainly “letters to future generations”, written by students of European schools but also various items/objects of symbolic value.

More specifically further aims of the project were:

To think about the consequences of our today actions on the citizens of tomorrow.to prepare students to be citizens of a multilingual society, in which, on the one hand, awareness of, respect for diversity and interest in other cultures are vital, and , on the other, the ability to communicate with speakers of other languages is a much valued skill.To understand that we all are interconnected and that the survival and the further development of our planet is based on the value of a peaceful and creative cooperation.

Basic questions were:

What do you consider important to be communicated (about you, your city, country, culture, Europe and generally about the world)?

What kind of information do you want to give about dreams, worries, problems of your generation? What kind of object do you want to put in the time capsule and for what reason?

encouraged the critical thinking of students and led to the creation of the final product
