Before the project was approved, the teachers had two meetings to plan it.
We started with the students' and the teachers' pre-surveys.
It was agreed that the students would comment on the results of theirs in order to get a common product with the analysis.
When the European Day of Languages came, our team did lots of activities to celebrate it.
We spoke about its logo, this year's slogan 'Languages for Peace', we discussed the European Language Tree and assessed our language skills.
We also made some posters based on the slogan.
We worked collaboratively with the other teams on a poster.
As we were going to deal with the goals of the Agenda 2030, it was necessary to know it so we did some activities to introduce it in class.
First, we spoke about some pictures related to its goals and wrote a wordcloud on the board with key words.
Then, we used those key words to make our own digital wordclouds.
We watched a video and played a GAME.
We watched another video and we played a game about it.
