Welcome to the blog of our YELLOW project! YELLOW stands for Young European Illustrators of Knowledge.

Our project aims at improving our students' ability to communicate in foreign languages by motivating them to build on knowledge already possessed (English) and to acquire initial competence (Italian and Romanian respectively).
Our project is cross-curricular, involving students and teachers in several areas of study: Languages, Information and Communication Technologies, Civics, Arts and Crafts, Music, Sport and Geography.
The two main end products will be a bilingual illustrated dictionary of European values and a play, having at its core one European value, in Italian and Romanian - scripts and shows. 20 Romanian and Italian students, accompanied by teachers, will participate in class exchanges, with the purpose of giving them the opportunity of working intensively together on the project.
