Projekt “Cultural Bridges: Exploring Intercultural Interaction Across Europe” okuplja učenike iz Turske, Rumunjske, Hrvatske, Italije, Španjolske i Poljske kako bi otkrili bogatstvo europskih kultura i poticali međukulturni dijalog kroz suradnju i kreativnost. Projekt je započeo u studenom 2025. Tijekom triju mjeseci, učenici u dobi od 11 do 15 godina istraživat će tradiciju, svakodnevni život i kulturne vrijednosti svojih partnera. Kroz razne interaktivne online aktivnosti razmjenjivat će

ideje, pripremati digitalne prezentacije, dijeliti informacije o glazbi, hrani i običajima te sudjelovati u raspravama o sličnostima i razlikama među svojim kulturama. Projekt potiče komunikaciju na engleskom jeziku, timski rad i odgovorno korištenje digitalnih alata kao što su Canva, Padlet, BookCreator i Kahoot. Do kraja projekta, učenici će zajednički izraditi digitalni časopis u kojem će prikazati što su zajedno naučili i proizveli.„Kulturni mostovi“ ne samo da pomažu učenicima u razvoju jezičnih i digitalnih kompetencija, već i njeguju osjećaj poštovanja, tolerancije i europskog identiteta, osnažujući ih da postanu aktivni i otvoreni građani u multikulturalnom svijetu.
