Who are we?

The project “Sea and City: sharing our common identity” is a “product” of the eTwinning Multilateral Contact Seminar, attended in Belfast, UK, on November 2012. In this project, are participating 5 schools, from Ireland, Greece and United Kingdom: Loreto College from Dublin, Ireland, the 2^nd High School of Alexandroupolis, the 1^st High School of Lavrion, from Greece, the Devonport High School for Girls, Plumouth, from UK and the 3^rd High School of Thermi, Thessaloniki, from Greece too. The participating students are 12 – 16 years old and the project is made in English language, as you can see.

The projects title and purpose: to understand and to share our cities’ common maritime identity, by studying our cities' past, present and future, sharing information, activities, discussion, or even vision. More specifically we intended to Know and understand our partners's cultural & historical background by studying the history of each city through its port. We would like to practice foreign language through using English in students’ and teachers’ communication. We wanted to use ICT for research. And above all, we were eager to collaborate with teachers and students from other countries, playing games, answering questions, getting to know each others' identity and all that in the Twinspace platform. Studying our history, researching our present and planning our future, we used material, form questionnaires, quiz, playing electronic games, building our cities' famous "symbols".
