Welcome to WikiProf !

Since Friday, Eurosection students have become new WikiStudents, by logging to WikiProf, an interactive and collaborative board. If you want to know more about their school work, click on the image below.


Students have created their own pages on the wiki where they can work alone or together on different topics. We have started by the Parthenon Debate. Should the marbles go back to Greece or stay in British Museum ?

For the moment, it's just the beginning ! Pages will become richer from month to month.
