For children aged 4-6 years old

Introduction

The project Be yourself is about being who you are. In six lessons, pupils experience and name the differences and similarities between themselves and the other children in the group, and they communicate about this with fellow pupils abroad. The project utilises CLIL methodology. CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning. This means that learning a foreign language (in this case, English) and working on intercultural competences take place in an integrated way.
