Cities Near the Sea

This project started in July 2002 in Moscow during the 9th international iEARN conference in Moscow. Representatives from Russia, St. Petersburg and the Netherlands met and discussed about a collaborative project between our beautiful cities St. Petersburg and Amsterdam. The first year of our mutual project ended in Awaji, Japan in a workshop about the process and results of the project. Students and teachers from 'Epigraph School' presented beautiful Drawings, Postcards, Artwork and a T-shirt. Project booklets from the 'Hermann Wesselink College' in Amsterdam were handed over to the Students from 'Epigraph school'. Participants, living in a city near a sea requested to expand the number of cities and schools in the project. From a bilateral to a multilateral project. In the past school year three more cities joined the project, a growing number of 'Cities impressions’ appears on the website. We invite you and your students to make a contribution too and share the beauty of your town/city/village with the world. After all, isn't every city near a sea, depending on how you would describe the word 'near' ?
