������Ƶ

Welcome on board! 

We are a nice group of international partners from Portugal, Bulgaria,Slovakiaand Turkey.

We hope we will enjoy in this adventure together!

Here are some instructions that we should help the project run smoothly:

1. Let's collaborate together, let's make this project a real collaborative effort and enjoy it. We are going to work in mixed nationality groups and do beautiful things together.

2. Respect the time-frames.  On certain tasks we'd need to follow up and merge all the work together, it's best to work hand in hand. It's very important that if you have any difficulty contact your teachers.

3. When uploading pictures we need to have  a sub-folder with your country & school names for easier access, unless we all need to collaborate on the same page.

5.  We have  created a group on Facebook for teachers to join and talk more easily there. For  students, we shall be in touch through the official school channels.

6. Visit Twinspace to see what's happening from time to time.

7. Be respectful and considerate towards each other.

8. We have to apply for Quality Labels starting at end of-June. Please finish as much as you can before :)

Yours Truly,

Manuela & Nadya
