Eramus has just started his European journey

Eramus was really busy preparing for his European journey.  Yesterday he left Zambrów (Poland). He is going to visit all the partner countries. His first stop will be Valenzano in Italy. The Italian pupils will be given some QR codes with the tasks which Eramus and his Polish friends created.  And as it is so close to Christmas, there will be of course a surprise in the parcel, too. 

A postcard from Sunnyland

Italy, Poland and Turkey have made a postcard from Sunnyland Island.
We've coperated to create one common picture with the Colorillo tool.
First, the Italian pupils started a picture and, when the Italian part was ready, the Tukish kids added their elements and finally, the Polish team finished the work.
So, the different phases:

Choose the name for Santa's newly discovered island

Santa Claus is fed up with severe winters of Lapland. Long days without the sun make him sad so he decides to move to another place. He chooses a newly discovered  island. Unfortunately, the island doesn't  have a name yet and the elves can't come up with anything interesting. We have to help them.  Our task is to create a cool name for Santa's island. That's why we are going to organize an international  competition in order to choose the best one.

Name and gender of our mascot chosen and revealed!

The participants of the ELF project have named their mascot, Eramus! The winner is the name that got  the most votes during our online poll (357 out of 1554). The pupils have also decided its gender. A majority of those polled (246 out of 420) voted for a boy. 

True or false?

The members of the ELF clubs from all the countries made the most of the opportunity to get to know their partners. With the use of Voki, the hottest animated site for foreign language students, they created presentations in which they told at least 2 truths and 1 lie about themselves. Other pupils visited their new friends' TwinSpace profiles with Voki speaking avatars and guessed which the lie was.  

Here are the Voki presentations for our guessing game from the Polish ELF Club.
