9. Targets and Elements of Innovation
Please explain the targets and the background of your project:
For our project we wanted to connect an ecological issue with ICT - and this all of course prepared for the special needs of our students. As most project - partners know each other yet because of the two former eTwinning-projects (see www.specialchildren.wikispaces.com ) the children knew already many things about the countries of their partners. So we decided to work on a special issue - our special tree. Every school made school-projects, where the tree (and sometimes also other trees) have been treated in every possible way and of course with all senses (informations about the different activities are on the project website).
What does it try to achieve and how:
- Working together with other children all over Europe, connected with the possibilities of ICT

Please explain what is unique or special in your project:
