1. Project summary
Summary: 

The project is a continuation of the relationship between the primary school of Rionero vulture in the school and School Apoldu de Jos (Romania), "Liviu Rebreanu" School, Mioveni (Romania) "Liviu Rebreanu" School, Mioveni town, Arges county, Romania (Romania) with which we achieved in the past several other projects. Following an agreement made with the Romanian partners I've registered the project and invited other schools partners. During the project we have continuously communicate by MSN, and using the tools etwinning . In this way we established the various steps, organized the entire work, continuously exchanged our experiences, support each other
The project is based on the assumption that the natural and cultural heritage, are essential elements of our national and European identity. But you can not love and respect both of them if you don't know them enough. Pupils and teachers from different schools have done research and have revised the foreground making photos, videos, animations, slide, interactive learning games, questionnaires, surveys have inserted their products in twinspace of etwinning and published everything on the blog They also learned to communicate with its European partners using email, chat, video conferencing and through an international language. Curiosity and creativity are been continuously fed by many and different situations, intelligently selected by teachers to become love for nature and culture. On this trail have been addressed new problems that have relevance to the future of a more sustainable society in which culture and nature blend in accordance with the famous phrase of Edgard Morin"We need to inscribe in us an ecological conscience. The know our connection consubstantial with the biosphere leads us to abandon the dream Promethean of domain of the universe for found on the contrary, the aspiration to conviviality on Earth" The teachers have created a true virtual classroom where students were able to learn, create, test their skills and abilities
