Join us as we explore various topics related to the future of Europe in our e-twinning project. Through interactive online platforms, we discuss our visions of a future society, explore the concept of utopian and dystopian societies, and design our ideal city of the future. This project aims to enhance language and computer skills, foster cross-cultural understanding, and promote European citizenship.
