Once upon a time, a long long long time later, in 2237, Aphrodite is at her home at Athienou village, in Cyprus, on planet Earth. She lives there with her family. Today, she has a teleconference with her friends, her classmates from Greece (Athens, Naxos and Meteora), Italy, Spain, Portugal and Polland.

Her e School is a multicultural school, like the most schools of Earth, and they have pupils around the world. Schools apply e learning and face-to-face learning some days a year. Last year, they have face-to-face lessons in Portugal. This year, face-to-face lessons will take place in Athens. Her classmates have different

age. Each pupil attends a class according to his/her knowledge and his/her skills.

During the teleconference, the pupils will discuss the problems they face. All children face the same problems. They are worried about their lost culture. They feel very disappointed because they have lost their customs, their traditional foods, their traditional games, their traditional music and dances, all their cultural heritage. Their mother tongues have been very poor. Archaeological sites have been destroyed since no one is interested in preserving them. Even the environment suffers.

Reasons led to the destruction are mostly socioeconomic. The development of technology was one of the main reasons. People spend a lot of time with technology and they are less interested in culture. They use technology for all their activities, for work, for entertainment, for everything. But the main reason is globalization. People easily change country, travel frequently, forget their own habits, traditions and culture. Wars ruined also cultural heritage.

During the meeting all pupils have made suggestions to find a solution. Aphrodite have suggested to use the time machine to

solve this huge problem. Time machine will help them to learn about their cultural heritage and then they will collaborate to find solutions. The time capsule has not been used for several years and needs repair. They will help each other and will share their knowledge and skills to manage solve this problem. Fortunately, two of the pupils will be 16 years old in few weeks and will be able to drive it. The pupils have to plan the whole journey and also should find an excuse to leave home for such a long period.
