the Urola Valley and the Valley of the River
Tornionjoki COMENIUS 1.2.

• In October 2006 the Euro students visited
  Basque Country for two weeks and were
  accommodated in Basque homes in December 2006
  the Basque students headed for Finland in
  rotation.
• The co-operation between the Finnish and Basque
  schools Tornion yhteislyseon lukio/Eurolukio
  and the Urola Ikastola of Azkoitia-Azpeitia was
  made possible by the Socrates Comenius 1.2
  student exchange programme. The project 1.2 is
  mainly about improving cultural interaction and
  networking the European schools. It is supported
  by the EU.
• For us the project was rewarding in every
  respect new experiences of different culture and
  country, friends. As much as we had fun with
  Socrates Comenius 1.2 we hope this presentation
  will give you useful information about the
  appearence of geographical and linguistic
  environment in the Basque Country and the valley
  of River Tornio enjoy!
