By providing students with an enriching cross curricular project it develops their European awareness and promotes a sense of European identity. It brings out the accomplishments of every individual, inspires the students' creativity and strengthens their self-confidence. It develops the students' linguistic skills and entrepreneurial spirit through the development of I.C.T. skills. It promotes communication amongst staff and pupils in the different member countries and between different sections of our own communities. And it fills the gap between the younger and older generations by encouraging young people to recognise the contribution older members of our communities have given and can continue to give.
