When you attend such an event, you cannot think
"How little I know!", "How smart these people are!",
"Which may my contribution be?" And numerous
other questions of the same type.

- What subjects to choose for a project?
- What tools to use?
- How to be creative?
- Will the project really involve students?
- What activities to do?

- What objectives to give priority to?
- How to make a quality project?
- How to evaluate students' work?

interpretation, and finally, here it is: "La porte à
côté".
The project starts...
The project just born, is not pretentious, it is ready
to suggestions and changes, it is flexible and
Stendhal High School in Rome was protagonist of a
‘Spring Campaign’ event organized by eTwinning
Ambassador Roberta Manfredi in collaboration with
