Scenes and reasons that teachers felt the effects
Cross-cultural meeting and exchanges were very important because
it’s a way to meet new people that are so far away and new cultures.

Our students have learned to dealt with the Corona virus matter andhad to live with it for more than one year now. Their adaptability wasphenomenal.
Learning with ICT is the way students learn in our times and they havethe opportunity to learn new subjects, to question, to search, to improve
themselves.
This collaborating approach is very important since students meet otherpeople from a completely different cultural background and they get thechance to cooperate creatively.
Painting the mural gave the children the chance to express themselvesin words and with Art.
