Aim:

It is often said that the earth is becoming "smaller" or that the world is becoming "nearer", but the places we know are not many. What we know are only a few famous cities representing a country. We might not even "know" such famous cities. Children will find another aspect of the earth they have never known by introducing each other to the town which they live in and know well even if it is not very famous.

"Shall we get on board a ship "Friendship" and make a trip around the earth? The destination is your town."

Method :

"Where would you like to take children from other countries if they visit your town?" Please send some photos of the town with a short explanation of it. The places would be "familiar" spots to you in an "unfamiliar" town to people in the different countries. Of course your town might be well known to the world.
