Public
In November 2007 our students, 13 to 17 years of age had a Skype meeting with their friends from Topeka, Kanzas. Before that, we had shared a blog where our students had exchanged the information of their everyday life with their peers from Kanzas. The blogging lasted for about a month and then we agreed upon skyping. That was a real challenge for my students. I thought the conversation would last for a half an hour or so, but, to my surprise, it lasted for an hour and a half. That was the first project of that kind but hopefully there will be more of them, with other schools, of course. 
The Flag Project with Brazil
Our school agreed with the English For Ever School from Santa Branca in Brazil to do the Flag project. We sent them an envelope with our flag and the meanings of the symbols and here is what we received in their envelope.

Cultural Project with Canada 
Our 10-11 year olds made a great contact with their peers in SenPokChin School , Okanagan First Nations decent from Oliver BC, Canada. The children made the first contact through snail mail. This way of communication makes them all very excited. They LOVE getting letters. So, they got their first letters just after Christmas (exactly on the day of Orthodox Christmas). Yesterday (21st May) they got some postcards and photos of their friends. It's a great opportunity for my students to meet some Indians and learn something about the culture of the Okanagan First nation.
