For reaching these goals, during the first year of the project, each of the participant schools forms mixed teams (students and teachers of different objects) who set up portfolios of a a certain region gathering historical, geographical, cultural, ethnographic, folkloric and touristic data. During the project second year, the students select from the portfolios the best and the most interesting photos and films in order to carry out a virtual gallery and also a promotional brochure containing short documentary films about the chosen regions, pictures of landscapes, relevant information leading to visiting the presented places. Teachers of different subjects involved in the working teams will use the portfolios contents as didactic material for the planning of cross-curricular learning units and learning teaching evaluation methods necessary both for the demonstrative lessons they will perform and for further optional classes. During one of the project meetings in the second year, teachers and students of all the participating countries will organise a workshop entitled "Landscapes of Europe" for promoting cultural tourism in the presented regions. The final products of the project will consist of: a touristic guide (both on electronic and paper support) providing information about less known but picturesque locations, festivals, carnivals or any other kind of traditional event, best wine, best food, places worth being visited, etc. and a web site.
