EDOL postcard exchange project on local proverbs

With this project, we want to help promote the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe by focusing on proverbs. Pupils first explore their linguistic heritage through famous proverbs used in their native tongue. They select one proverb and discuss its meaning and importance, search for more information on its origin and use throughout time. They search for English translations and work on the similarities and differences in linguistic traditions . When ready, pupils write their proverb on a postcard, with a short explanation in English and suggest a word for word translation and then the proper English translation. They try to be creative (add a page where they all introduce their class and sign their names for ex). When the postcard is ready, they upload it on the devoted twinspace for all the partners who've joined the project. Eventually, each partner school will be able to organise a postcard exhibition on the 26th Spetember
