On Wednesday, December 11th, an exciting online meet-up took place between students from Francisco Franco School, located on the island of Madeira, Portugal, and Istituto “Cassata-Gattapone” in Gubbio (PG), Italy. This event marked an important milestone in our eTwinning project, bringing together young minds from different parts of Europe to share their experiences and foster international friendships.
During the session, students from both schools had the opportunity to introduce themselves, providing insights into their personal interests, hobbies, and the courses they are currently enrolled in. The atmosphere was filled with curiosity as students eagerly learned about each other’s cultures and daily lives.
Highlights from the Session:
- Presentations: Each student gave a brief presentation about themselves, discussing their favorite subjects, extracurricular activities, and aspirations for the future. It was nice to hear the diverse range of interests and passions from our peers in another country.
- Hobbies and Interests: Students engaged in lively discussions about their hobbies, from sports and music to reading and gaming. This exchange allowed them to find common ground and build connections based on shared interests.
- School Life: The conversation also touched on the differences and similarities in school life between the two countries. Students shared their daily routines, school schedules, and unique aspects of their educational systems.
This online meet-up not only provided a platform for students to practice their language skills but also to develop a deeper understanding of different cultures. It emphasized the importance of global collaboration and the value of building bridges between diverse communities.
We are happy with the success of this event and look forward to more such interactions in the future. These experiences enrich our educational journey and prepare us for a more interconnected world.
