;-) and Scottish men wear a kilt in their everyday life.

|
| The project lasts three years and during each year the partner
schools will study the historical, artistic and environmental patrimonies
of two countries. This way every year two countries play the part of leaders
of the others and each one is a leader for a three-four month period. During
the school year 2006-2007 the leading schools have been first Scotland
and then Spain. |
|
| At the beginning of each phase the leading school draws
up a questionnaire regarding the misconceptions about their own country.
For instance: the Spanish can all sing and dance flamenco, the Germans
drink beer all day long, the Italians only eat spaghetti – by the
way, it’s true!!! ;-) and Scottish men wear a kilt in their everyday life. |
|
| Students are asked to complete a questionnaire, which will
gauge their perceptions of different cultures, history, stereotypes and
ideas about lifestyles within the partner states and the European Union.
They will complete a second questionnaire on completion of the project
and then be asked to provide a personal statement, which will discuss any
changes in their perception over the duration of the project. |
