"We want to present students and their teachers with an opportunity to explore Europe as a network of exchanges: in culture and science, in politics and economy... People in Europe have always corresponded and travelled to exchange their ideas and inventions. And they are still doing so. Every European is part of this ongoing network of European civilization. We invite you to participatein a contest: do your own research, discover how your town or region is connected to Europe and write an essay on one of the proposed themes like the post, the lens,the portrait, the keyboard or the (secret) Ballot. Contributions by students will be the beginning of an interactive website on the history of European civilisation, intended for students of upper secondary schools in Europe. The best essays will be awarded. Choose a theme, write for the site and be a part of Europe. "

Virtual field trips challenge and expose students to new types of technology. It is a great way to spark their interest and motivate their learning in a specific content area. Virtual field trips can offer students more opportunities because you can take them to places they wouldn't normally be able to go to otherwise - like inside a volcano or ocean floor! In addition, virtual field trips may even boost students' reading comprehension skills and will expose them to different cultures and environments. While virtual field trips offer a great learning opportunity, they can be hard to organize and time consuming. Take advantage of our free virtual field trips and engage your students even more!
