It was really an amazing project!

“Something I treasure a lot about this partnership is that all partners are amazing, helpful, understanding and supporting a lot the new members. I believe that I learnt new ways of working and presenting the team products. On the other hand, all students learned that they have to feel and behave like true citizens of the European Union, whose future is on their hands. Respect, cooperation and hard work are the words which they have to be in their mind, showing them that, living under the same European sky, it is a very heavy duty.
Thank you very much, Antonio, for this opportunity to participate in such wonderful project"

A big thank you from England

We really enjoyed taking part in this etwinning project this year. The students at the Robert Napier School loved doing homework every month researching about each country.
We have learnt a lot in geography, history and general knowledge. We were also impressed by how well people all around Europe speak English! Wished we could speak French or Spanish that well! It also made us realise how similar we all are all over Europe and it has certainly opened our mind!Thank you again from the UK team
We hope that most of you will be taking part in next year's project
