E-COP – Project no. 167127-LLP-1-2009-1-IT-KA1-KA1ECETB Kick-off meeting, Milan, February 25 and 26, 2010 2 The project actually promotes a global and transversal learning process to encourage students to understand that the different subjects taught at school are complementary and that they are useful in everyday life. The students discovered the dodecahedron in a Gallo-Roman museum and the object appeared quite mysterious. The students thought that it was a good idea to adopt the dodecahedron as the symbol of new knowledge and research.
