About the Project

My Culture My Heritage

This project is based on the idea that preservation of one's own culture can be possible by being respectful to other cultures. During the project we learned  about Turkish and Croatian cultures, hometowns, schools, songs and traditions.

Students gathered information about interesting facts, described significant landmarks around the area and informed about the famous people of their cities or towns via various set of ICT tools, videos and photos. They also prepared handmade gifts for their peers.

Also, the use of English language with a real communicative purpose encouraged the students to learn English with more enthusiasm. Most of them want to take part another e-twinning projects in the future.
