If we look around us and analyse the origin of our way of life, we can discover a great part of it was born in Greece and Rome: democracy, the comfort of urban life, the calendar, roads, engineering, science, philosophy, literature, art… Almost everything which is common to all the European countries is due to the Roman and Greek heritage. So, we would like to demonstrate Europe is not a modern creation but a very old reality that has its roots in the Greek and Roman culture. Everything we have in common (everything we share) is old, not new; Europe as a cultural and political reality is old, not new. We could even consider the Roman Empire as the first try of the European Union.
Our project aims at helping our students find it out by themselves. Each school must choose two aspects of our lives that are common to all the European countries and have their origin in the classical world. The topics each school chooses must be different in order to give a global view. Teachers and students will work about them and share their findings with the other participant countries. In this way, the future citizens of the European Union will discover how old their European way of life is and we hope this finding will contribute to increasing the European feeling and, eventually, to building Europe
it's a good summary, I won't change anything.

The main activity of the project, a research on European common roots, aims at forming a stronger European conscience which may eliminate or relieve certain manifestations of cultural close-mindedness or intolerance due to a poor knowledge or understanding of others.
The first year, using many ways to analyse results, the pupils will be asked to reasearch their common roots in many fields as many of them ignore our common roots.
The second year pupils will be encouraged to reflect on their “new European friends” ...
