(RO) SKYPE MEETING

Thanks to today's advanced technology the Spanish students from CEIP EL PICACHO and the Romanian students from SCHOOL 49 have proved that geography is no longer a barrier to partnerships and collaboration. On January 17th 2015, both schools were engaged in their first Skype video conference and they shared an unforgettable virtual experience. The Spanish students, coordinated by Amalia and Soledad, sang a flamenco song and a Spanish boy played one of Paco de Lucía’s songs on the guitar. On the other hand, the Romanian students, coordinated by Anda (3C) and Cecilia (1C), sang a traditional Romanian song and wonderfully surprised the Spanish students with a Spanish song. Thus, both Spanish and Romanian children showed that music is the most effective way to communicate when you don't speak the other's language. However, after the musical bond, students wanted to know more about education and culture, so they exchanged questions and answers and they fully enjoyed the two-hour meeting.
