Teens Today
"Adolescence is a time in which you experience everything more intensely.” Edward Zwick
THE PROJECT
In this project students from a lower secondary school (from different countries - Italy, Germany, Romania -) reflect on adolescence as an age of transition, the importance of having good relationships as teens, the problems they have to face daily. Then they reflect upon the differences and similarities of being teenagers in different countries. They can compare their ideas, problems, opinions, dreams with other students' realities and work collaboratively so as to broaden their horizon through cultural exchanges. They can imagine, dream, create, explore great teenagers' ideas and share opinions with students coming from a different country. Finally, they can collect all digital works on the same website. They can share, create together, working on wordwalls so as to give life to a great social community dreaming of a better world for the future teenagers.
