         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, I am Elif. I live in Hatay, Turkiye where there are many historical places such as St. Pierre Church, the first church of Christianity, and a place where you can taste hot &amp; spicy food and delicious desserts.

I have been to a few countries so far such as Usa, Italy and some Balkan countries but my favourite is Italy, because of its culinary culture, wheather conditions and natural beauties are very similar to my country.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi! I'm Martina. I'm an English and French teacher and interpreter. I've been teaching English for 17 years and for the past 10 years in a secondary school, Srednja škola Pakrac in Pakrac, Croatia. I love teaching mainly because I get to introduce my students to the world through English and to inspire different thinking and new ideas through my subject in general. I have an international family background and I love working in teams to meet new people and inspiring new ideas. I love spending time with my two kids and husband and, whenever I can, I enjoy swimming in thermal waters of my hometown Lipik where I still live. Although I've had some Erasmus+ experience so far, this is my first etwinning project and I'm so happy to be here with a team of amazing people working on an even more amazing topic.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, I am Anastasia Samartzi. I’m Greek, but I was born and raised in Germany, which makes me a native speaker of both Greek and German. This bilingual background has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and languages.</p><p>Now, I live in Athens, a city steeped in history and home to the iconic Acropolis, where the past and present blend beautifully. I have been working as a German teacher since 1992, and I also have a passion for teaching ancient history. For the past 15 years, I have been a teacher at the 1st High School of Spata, located in a suburb of Athens.</p><p>Beyond teaching, I love staying active with Pilates and exploring new destinations. Traveling is one of my greatest passions—I have been fortunate to visit many countries, including the USA, Iceland, Italy, Turkey, Poland and Spain, each offering unique cultures, histories, and experiences. I have also had the opportunity to participate in an eTwinning project and several Erasmus teacher courses, which have enriched both my professional and personal perspectives.</p><p>As an educator, my main goal is to open doors for my students—to Europe and beyond—helping them connect with the world and broaden their horizons. I am thrilled to be part of this project and look forward to sharing ideas, learning from each other, and growing together.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone!</p><p>My name is Ourania but most of my friends call me Rania. You can choose whichever you wish to call me.</p><p>I have been an English teacher for more than 35 years.... Yes, I am that old!!! I also teach Political Science as I hold a second degree.</p><p>I love teaching and I believe in lifelong learning as it keeps me up-to-date and well-informed. Needless to say, it keeps me young ...at least in spirit. And most of the time, it  combines with travelling abroad, which is another love of mine. I am also the school newspaper editor and into organising cultural projects for my students. This year I am running one on Jane Austen's <em>Pride and Prejudice</em>. </p><p>Erasmus+ courses and eTwinning projects are two things that add up to the strengths of the teaching profession. Participating in both, when I am given the chance, is a must for me. </p><p>I dare say that the more I deal with our "Legends" project the fonder my heart grows. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone,</p><p>I teach English and Italian in our high school in Gdansk. I have been participating in a number of international projects, eg eTwinning and Erasmus+ since 2010. I am a huge fan of visual thinking and I love sketchnoting – I even have a profile on social media (FB and Instagram) called @ITAnotatki, where I post my sketchnotes that I prepare for my students or as a hobby. If you want to have a look you are welcomed of course :) In my free timeI enjoy reading books, joga, theatre and cold bathing all year round in the Baltic Sea. Glad to be here in the project with you all 😊</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I am Mrs. Ana Novikiene, an English teacher, working in Kauno Stepono Dariaus ir Stasio Gireno gimnazija (the High School) for about 20 years. I am quite experienced in eTwinning and Erasmus projects due to my colleagues and students' enthusiasm, but I still feel that there is what to learn from others, especially in terms of IT skills and abilities and socializing. Speaking about personally me, I like travelling, reading, playing chess. Within Erasmus projects I have visited quite a lot of European countries. I hope this project will enrich my students and me in the sphere of IT, Literature, Arts and Sociology. I am sure that the project team is professional and will reach successfully its project destination.</p>]]></description>
