THE PROJECT'S ACTIVITIES
TRANSNATIONAL TEAMS
Working in transnational teams is the best part of these projects. Students find the chance to exchange their ideas, experiences and cultures. For this reason, we are going to create international teams. Please fill in the chart below to be able to form the groups.
Here is the team list with coordinator teachers and padlets, which have been created for fast team communication.
