A European Christmas Tree Decorations Exchange is currently underway and thanks to the hard work of young students from Gozo College Gharb Primary School, it means that Gozo is one of the countries taking part.
This year’s European Christmas Tree Decoration Exchange is the biggest yet, with 55 regions taking part across 20 countries. A total of 275 schools are exchanging hand-made Christmas tree decorations symbolic of their region.
The result – a European Christmas tree in each of the participating schools and lots of young Europeans in touch and sharing knowledge and traditions.
Each school has prepared packs containing a hand-made Christmas Tree decorations and general information about their country and its Christmas celebrations, myths and traditions, their tradition Christmas recipes, local Christmas carols, and how to write Merry Christmas in their language.
The schools will be exchanging these packs with other 30 schools selected by Europe Direct Information Centre – Llangollen – Wales.
