A COLNE Valley school is the only one in the UK chosen to take part in a Europe-wide project.
The European Union-run scheme is designed to create better understanding of life in other countries.
Two lucky pupils from Beech Early Years Infant and Junior School at Golcar are to spend six days in Spain in November as part of the three-year Socrates Project.
They are Christopher Chapman and Rebecca Bridge, whose names were drawn out yesterday.
They will be accompanied by teachers Rosemary Taylor, Melanie Stott and Elaine Chapman, Christopher's mother.
School administrator Mrs Jennifer Hoyle said: "We heard about it from Kirklees Council and submitted a bid to the British Council, which was accepted.
"The children are going to put together an information pack based on the local community and a pack about the whole of the UK, which will be presented to the other schools."
The youngsters will study traditions, art, science and the literature of each country, along with folk dances, songs, and regional dishes.
Pupils will be out and about with a digital camera, photographinng places of interest in Golcar and Longwood.
The four other schools taking part in the project are based near the Spanish capital, Madrid, Szolnok in eastern Hungary, Bielsko-Biala in southern Poland and Mistelbach, eastern Austria.
Money for the project will cover travel expenses and accommodation.
After November's trip to Madrid meetings will be held in Golcar, Poland, Hungary and Austria.
All classes at Beech pupils featuring pupils aged from six to 11 will take part in the project.
