In Hungary we realized pupils exchanges and also teacher´s training events.

The topic of our first exchage of pupils was: Geographical facts

All partnership schools created presentations about geographical facts of own country.The part of these presentations were also the short quizzes. Students learned this way about partnenship countries a lot of details: position in Europe, area, population, flags, capital cities, mountains, rivers, ...

After meeting on-line quiz was created and published in twinspace and website.

All pupils can do this quiz and learn about partner countries.

Each school brought hand-made projects about all partnership countries,

we created international exhibition of these projects and

then children talked about them.

This was very nice activity.

We exchanged these project and each school created international exhibition at own school. All students and parents can admire the artworks of our pupils.

We all took part in Geography lesson realized using innovative teaching methods. Pupils were completing the text about facts of Hungary, they were making some collages about partner countries using internet and maps. It was great international activity.
