Introduction  

 

What does the title "The 3 C's" stand for?


The 3 C's represent the initial letters for: Coins, Currency and Culture.
What is the relationship among these three words?
Currency and coins have a close relationship. They refer directly to economic or monetary issues.
 

But what about Culture? Someone would wonder: "what educational value could have a series of coins or banknotes?"


The European currency (€, Euro) is something common to most of us who are part of the European Union. Being so, the illustrations in the notes and coins have a cultural, historical and geographical background which, thus, have an enormous educational potential.
From these everyday objects we can imagine and develop different projects.
Students will get to know not only the history and culture of the partner's country but also share identities and understand diversity,"building bridges" between them.


We feel that the Euro € entry in our lives brought anxiety and different reactions. Positive and negative, especially from the adults' side.
But, here we'll try to do a cultural approach...
Especially, in the middle of the global economic crisis in the bank and stock market field, this issue has become modern and catchy!!!

 

Have a nice digital tour!!!
