What was useful to our students and teachers:Students learned a lot about the history and culture of other countries

through their national life great personalities .The project was an opportunity for students and teachers to see that

English is indeed the main language of communication and their participation in the project motivated them to make more serious

pursuits.The provoked national awareness of the students made them feel

proud of our national history and culture on the one hand and on the other to feel that they are part of something bigger than a common

European home. Books created by the three projects are not products of fleeting value.

The information collected in these is a permanent value and can be used for all ages and at all times.

Pleasure working with this incredible partner staffand our results support

enthusiasm to continuewith the next five projects

EUROPE TO MANY PEOPLE.This time, the states,representing

the teams,are 41.A fifth book will be made in which each countrywill present five national

landmarks.Author and coordinator again
