Phase II: Sense of Place

Upload image (s) here:

I guess no picture can depict all the beauty of my home town but at least it shows how romantic it is! Quite and remote place greets you with a sweet atmosphere of warmth, kindness, mystery. Place where the settlement is located is called the Lakeland, the Pskov Venice. There are many rivers, lakes, ponds, springs in its vicinities.



Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has?
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)
