The project TeenTour joins students from
different countries with different ages and
knowledge-level. The students have to produce a
Webpage which shares information about the
individual region/city, seen from the individual
students point of view. With this project,
TeenTour A guided tour for teenagers - the
partner schools want to develop strategies for
the students involvement in the learning
process. In fact students start to gather
information from step one, then they have to sort
out the most important elements of their
interests in their region. They plan the link for
their area, discuss the opportunities of their
spare time with other students, focus their
attention on their own desires and ideas and get
involved in the problems that appear during the
process. They take part in the whole process of
the project and will benefit from learning and
interacting with other pupils, their teachers,
other teachers and representatives of
institutions. This will contribute to a personal
and social improvement in a lifelong learning
perspective. Finally, its necessary that
everybody is aware of the physical and cultural
differences of the people who live in Europe if
we want to build the European Union pupils will
find out that tolerance and respect together with
listening abilities are the main tools for
being a European citizen.
