Besides the party game will be presented to other students on the website of European Schoolnet (http://www.eun.org)
Tasks and Stops
First Stop: Literature (School Year 2009-2010)
Task: The students are asked to co-write a new European story.
Each school is in charge of one part of the narrative (exposition - rising actions - climax - falling action – dénouement).
Each school is in charge of one part of the narrative (exposition - rising actions - climax - falling action – dénouement).
Before, the students in the six schools choose and study two narratives from their own literature. In each narrative, they identify and pick out three typical elements such as characters, animals, settings, atmospheres or feelings. On the whole, six elements are selected in each school.
The students of each school are given the six elements selected by the students of another school. They must use them in their own part of the story. No other instruction is given so that the students can be fully imaginative and creative.
Second Stop: Music (School Year 2009-2010)
Task: co-writing a European song.
In each school the students are in charge of one stanza of our European anthem. Each stanza is composed of lines in English but also of lines in the national languages to familiarize the students to other phonological patterns.
Every country presents a performance of the whole new song, they record it and put it on the pod cast.
Third Stop: Art (School Year 2010-2011)
Task: making paintings together
First, during the visit in a local museum, the students in each school choose an artist from their own country.
Beginning in one country, the students create 6 paintings (on canvas) based on the work of their chosen artist; they send them by post to another country where a second part is painted, etc. The paintings travel throughout each of the countries. The sixth country paints the last part and returns a painting to each partner.
To encourage the students to learn more about European painting techniques and works, each country prepares a crossword puzzle about their chosen artist and asks the others to work it out.
Fourth Stop: History (School Year 2010-2011)
Task: creating a video collection dealing with European historical figures
First, every partner school selects 3 national historical figures and prepares a promotion of these people. After the publicity campaign, the students in the other countries choose their favourite two figures (they can't choose those of their own country).
Then, they introduce these figures in home-made videos: they decide on the sorts of videos they want to make (interviews, short films, plays, etc.), write the scripts and the storyboards, perform and shoot them.
Once the videos are published, the students from the six countries are encouraged to comment and grade them.
The Apotheosis: Spring Day Event – May 2011
Some students design the final party game based on all of the activities performed during the project. Some others write the rules and others the cards used for the game.
Then the game is played on an organized Spring Day event in each school. The students who were involved in the project show the game to the other students of the school.
The party game will be presented to other students on the website of European Schoolnet (http://www.eun.com/)
Introduction and the Quest
Introduction
To launch the project - and immediately encourage communication - the students in each country prepare a set of 5 boxes containing several items characteristic of their local community (region, school, students, etc.) and a questionnaire. The boxes and the questionnaires are sent to the 5 other partner schools.
When they have received the boxes from all of the partners, the students answer the questionnaires and send them back to the 5 other partner schools. Then, everyone checks the answers and provides feedback.
To encourage collaboration, the students from each country also design a part of the project’s logo. The logo will be used in different situations (e.g. website, mail) as well as on the board game.
Moreover, every partner school creates an exhibition about all the activities of the project so that everyone - students and staff - can discover and keep up with the project.
The Quest
The students prepare a quest through their own country. They choose 4 stops during the quest, preferably connected to the European Union.
At each stop a specific theme will be treated (literature, music, art and history). The final destination is kept a secret from all of the students.
The stops are chosen in advance, but not revealed to the other partners. Each location (stop) is chosen for its obvious connection with each of the 4 themes (literature, music, art and history).
The students choose an itinerary to move from one location to the other. Then they send clues to the others for them to find out the route and the next stop. (e.g. the next stop is the birthplace of a famous writer, the author of the novel Under the Yoke, and it is near the second largest city in the country).
The students in each country draw a big map of Europe, adding the details and the route of each country so that they can get an overview of the whole quest.

Summary
General presentation: Throughout the project students and teachers are encouraged to discover the cultural wealth of the partner countries and think about their own identity in order to develop intercultural dialogue.
Students are made to understand and master living values through concrete activities that enable them to be imaginative and creative and incite them to use ICT.
Themes and activities: The project consists of a quest across the partner European countries through which four themes are approached:
Year 1
- literature: students co-write a story based on elements from each country’s literature.
- music: students co-write the lyrics of a song (in English and mother tongues) to the tune of the existing European anthem.
Year 2
- art: students make paintings together. The different parts of each painting are made after the style of an artist of each country.
- history: students create a gallery of videos dealing with historical figures from the partner countries.
Result: all of the activities of the project are incorporated into a party game designed by the partner schools and made for students not involved in the project. The party game is played in the schools on a Spring Day Event in 2011 and published on the website of European Schoolnet.
