TILA some thoughts for collaborative projects

Create a European city- Opportunity to share cultural contents (specific

buildings, institutions, means of transportation, ...)- Discussions / debates about the organisation of the city

(a main street, different quarters, open spaces, important/essential equipments …)

- Bring the learners to think about the life of the citizens in a city

• A survey (on the characteristics of a country, for example) is written by one school et sent to the pupils/students of a partner school. The answers are filmed and sent back with their translation and/or subtitles.
