WHAT WE DID 
We worked on some issues such as :


Language Learning



 

Other ways to learn a language
-          Instructions in several languages.
-          When you go to another country, the signs are different and may be a bit confusing for strangers.


Responsibility
·         There is a need to offer more languages at school for the pupils because of globalization
·         It makes it easier to get equal job opportunities


Ethnic groups and minorities


In addition we presented the immigration condition in England, Germany, France, Hungary 
and Norway.

Job Mobility








Ways of getting money


Responsibility





We visited places such as :


--> The wonderful Pope’s palace

-->Avignon Bridge




-->The Christmas Market

-->Maison Jean Vilar to learn about the Avignon festival.


 -->The old city of Marseille

--> Châteauneuf-du-Pape :

We visited a wine-producing cellar in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. 
It was really interesting to meet the producer who sells abroad, while he's trying to produce it in a traditional way.


-->Museum of "Santons" (crib figurines)


-->A typical little town called : Gordes (We visited it by night)

And we had some other activities such as :

--> In order to socialize, we did “laser games”, which was really cool.


-->We saw presentations by businessmen, which allowed us to discover working life in a more concrete way, and moreover discover the international aspects of business.

  

-->T

 

We shared part of the other countries' culture in singing classes: we had to learn 5 Christmas carols or songs in 5 different languages for the short concert at the end of the week. This activity was extremely pleasant because of the nice friendly atmosphere. It was rather funny to change from a Norwegian song to a Hungarian song then to a German song.
