ETwinning project will promote history of the Hospitaller`s order and
their cultural heritage left in Rhodos, Cyprus, Malta, or other
territories.
The goal of the project is to learn about the history and culture of the
hospitaller Knights order. This project joins teachers from different
European countries. Each team formulates on Twinspace a
historical/cultural task to the other partners. The task will be solved
by students and will be presented to all on the Twinspace. All the
teams will answer in different cultural contexts. The project lasts for
six months. At the end of the project pupils will create a collaborative
book – a chronicle that will be send to our partners school.
