They discovered the languages of our Polish partners. The contact with other young Europeans increased their motivation, created links. This allowed teachers to strengthen teamwork, learning to work differently with students and with colleagues. For our school, impacts are important also as it allows us to open up to the outside and to be recognized in our town and at the European level. The French school was elected by the European parliament for school “Ambassador of the European Parliament" for the importance of their European projects. Students are very proud of their eMagazine which gathered all their activities. The project received the National Quality Label and the European Quality Label both in France and in Poland, and won the First national eTwinning prize in Poland. They collaborated to write role-plays, to create video, in developing the eMagazine, each chose the page they wanted to do and were responsible for his page and had to complete it until it was approved by the editor of the eMagazine.
