Project Summary

Our centre is in touch with the rest of countries involved within this initiative since 2012. Our contact comes from the eTwinning platform and the form has been negotiated and agreed among all the partners.
We have got a programme from the Educational Inspection Service about Transition Educational Stages in curricular and living areas.
We intend to work and study the geometry from the perspective of art (in its various manifestations), taking advantage of our pupils to discover the legacy that history has made, and continues making of Europe a rich and varied continent.
We will start with the concept of volume.
It is designed to be carried out during 36 months. Along this period the proper evaluation of the project will be ensured due to, throughout this time, the students will experiment the transit between different educative stages.
Within this project 6 institutions are involved and we have got students between 3 and 16 years old.
