One
of the expected impacts of the TELL

both on the pupils and teachers involved in its
development as well as on the educational
communities of the different schools will be to have
a better understanding of their partners, to know
each others better in order to accept the
differences and similarities between the different
nations.
We
have to know and appreciate ourselves, our culture,
our history in order to understand and appreciate
the others. Promoting, introducing and exchanging
our languages, games, tales, in short our cultures
will enable all to understand and accept the OTHERS.
