 * **PROJECT „WHO´S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF“ **

 Our school has been part of this project since September 2011. In this project we have been cooperating with 9 European schools from these countries: Estonia, Iceland, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain ||
 * We have been exploring our nations' heritage, searching for wolves, bears, foxes and other predators and then compared the results with our partners’ outcomes -perhaps we have more in common than initially thought! With experts from each region, we went into forests, hills and National Parks to explore predators in their habitat, searching for their tracks, trails and sounds. We found out that predators are neither good nor bad, neither friendly nor hostile. They are simply part of the wildlife, which has to be protected, for our benefit as well. To facilitate those who wish to learn more about European predators and their habitats, we used GPS devices to track our excursions, cameras to document them with photos and films and we also created Wikispaces to publish them online.

We invited our partners to hike with us to the most interesting trails we have found. Our Wikispaces will guide Europeans in their discovery of our countries’ cultures, heritage and wildlife. ||
