Connecting Classrooms

Dear all,
This has been an amazing experience in which we shared four different stages talking about “Diversity and Cultural Awareness” with schools from Ukraine, Cordoba and San Juan. Each stage had its conditions.
In the first part we did an introduction in which we presented ourselves in a video and we talked about our free time, our school and leisure activities. We also included a picture of the group in Mendel and from the school´s premises and campus. What´s more we produced a word cloud talking about our partner schools’ introductions after watching them.
The second stage consisted in a photobucket in which the students published pictures which showed their families, pets, friends and holidays. This was hard work but mostly enjoyable.
After finishing this, we produced a brochure in which we tried to show WHERE DO WE COME FROM? with a pie, old pictures and references to  traditions, music, food and religion brought to Argentina by our ancestors.
At present we are cooking our final presentation that will deal with our lives in Argentina nowadays.
Watching and reading our partners´ responses has been a very enlightening experience because it has increased our awareness of cultural differences or diversity among people of our own age.
Thanks a lot.

4th year A students and Maria José.
