Summary of the activities
Young students, in their first year of language learning, can enjoy creative writing in their mother tongue. They then pass on their story to other schools, within a chain, for completion.

All five schools in a chain, have a different mother tongue but within the same European language family, generally from 5 countries. For example, Romance languages, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish.

The children will create part of a story, decode and comprehend the main ideas of a previous part of the same story from the other schools in the chain. The stories are based on an open template.

The project will act to motivate students to understand how easily they can understand other languages and the advantages of being able to communicate with their peers in other European countries. The project allows an unlimited number of schools to join the project, when it is ready. If you are interested in more information, helping the project or joining a chain, contact us.
