Project begins with partners exchanging a character of some description around the theme of project title "With a Star in my Pocket" linking to the stars on the European Union Flag, e.g. a teddy bear, doll, etc, which has a link to stars, like a star badge, clothes etc and a link to country of partner, again badge, clothing etc. They should have a little introduction and a passport.As characters will be sent to other project partners they need to be relatively small and inexpensive. Characters will feature in various pictures etc., throughout the project then go home again at the end of the year.Presentations of children's experiences will be shared each month on suggested topics to follow the nursery year, but partners may prefer other topics to follow their children's current interests. Small weekly presentations of toys experiences on weekend visit home with a child.As the project develops and children show interest in partner children, a simple online picture dictionary could be developed.
