Friday 24 February marks one year since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. This video of less than 5 minutes explains in a simple way some of the main points to keep in mind regarding this conflict that has reached its first year without a clear resolution in the near future.
As well as helping youngsters reconnect with books, this yearly celebration aims to show how literature can be a tool for individual empowerment. Books and reading can enable people in secondary education to engage with ongoing social and personal challenges.
The Day is also an opportunity to emphasise the importance of all the programmes and initiatives already running in individual EU countries to promote reading.
The first edition of the Day of European Authors is taking place on 27 March 2023. (Source European Commission)

The final challenge of this project is the planning and organization of an Expo to promote tourism in your country.
The following objectives have been considered in the design of this project.
- to learn while working on a project.
- to encourage collaborative work, since most assignments require information sharing and interaction with other students.
- to foster students' self-learning process by using IT resources.
- to reinforce students' communicative skills through activities of listening and reading comprehension, but above all, through tasks in which they must produce their own oral and written messages.
