Description: Two European Union projects with associated research focus have laid the basis for a rich portal providing infrastructure for collaborative work: games, creative tools, networking microworlds on different themes for children of different age groups. One of the research questions aimed to investigate: with whom, how and what kinds of knowledge could children with multilingual backgrounds learn at a distance and how best can they be supported. The event describes the main features of the projects, allows tasting the issues arising in such circumstances through practical attempts of iconic communication and gives place for analysis and discussion of value of such collaboration.
