Schools creating board game

A new version of the Trivial Pursuit board game is being put together by Theresa Nuzzo School, Marsa, and other schools from Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Poland, and Italy that are partners in an EU-sponsored Comenius project entitled 'The world watched by children'.

Questions are being sent to every participating school and the answers will be processed into the board game featuring all the partners' countries that will be printed at the end of the project for use as a resource in schools. Children at the participating schools are taking an active part in the project, which began last September and will end in May next year in Greece.

Four members of the Marsa school staff - Sr Rita Gauci, assistant head Marise Bugeja Annabella Gauci, and Nathalie Galea - travelled to the Romanian school Scoala 'Ion Creanga' in Satu Mare last month for a project meeting. The local school's participation was possible through EU financing and the cooperation of the European Union Programmes Agency.

The next project meeting is to be held in Poland next month.
