EUROPEAN CONNECTIONS

The Italian students in Istituto Comprensivo Sacconi and their friends from Santa Maria de Huerva in SPAIN, have cooperated to produce some impossible interviews.
They start  dealing with Bebe Vio, a fantastic champion who loves fencing but also running and dancing. She is a super-girl who has changed many people's lives with her good disposition, her  humor and her strength.
Plenty of disabled children are following her example and try to overcome their disabilities, finding new targets... a new life!

Going to school might be a very tiring duty.
The students are curious to know how their new friends' school day is organized, if their lessons are more varied or better distributed and if the rules to follow in their school are lighter or less imposing.
Each one discovers that no school is free of rules. Some of the students feel the rules light while others consider the same extremely heavy and cumbersome!!!

Food is always a good topic to deal with, some students are really eager to know more about the eating habits of their new friends... being far from home implies the necessity to adapt and discover new flavors, dishes and smells. Sometimes these changes might be challenging.
Some teenagers find it difficult to adapt and taste new specialities while others are looking for new experiences... let's enjoy their conversations!

Talking about personal lives is always the simplest way to find a connection: students have a limited number of common experiences, they try to find the common fields and build their relationship from there... It is quite cklear listening to their conversations! Enjoy!

Becoming friends needs to open up and define your habits and the ones in the place you leave. Some girls want to know more about the new friend's town, school and free time...
Their conversations can be listened to, it seems that similar desires and needs  are emerging!

Some Polish and Italian girls reflect on the differences between their cultures, they have met for few days but their opinions are quite clear....
Enjoy our teenagers conversations!

School rules in class 1E... the younger students are happy to stay in a new school and they feel grown up: they want to define the new rules to follow in class. They are sharing them with the listeners!

School and sports are deeply linked. One of the most loved subjects at school is sport and two students ask each other more about their chances to practice sport at each other's school....

Visiting the Holdecker Middleschule, one of the comparison every student makes is linked to each schoolday, its rhythms, the series of lessons and the break times. How long is each teaching period? Which subjects are studied and how long for? These were common questions, the answers can be heard in the following podcast.

The Italian students in Bergrheinfeld were curious to know which their new friends' eating habits were so they kept asking questions....
