INTERNET GYM
The Internet Gym is a set of web pages specifically developed for training purposes that will be used for "grandsons" in their teaching activity to the "grandparents". The set of webpages is available in each local language of the project partners, and will be used as a common reference by all the "grandsons" all around Europe.
