S.B., pp.98-99, ex.2.• Children go to schools which are twinned with schools in other

countries. They swap work projects with one another. They make pen friends who they communicate with by e-mail. They learn a lot of interesting things about their lifestyles, cultures and religions. Children go to international schools. Every day they mix with children who have different religions, cultures and lifestyles. Children take part in cross-cultural projects. They communicate with one another by sharing different stories and experiences. They also take part in different activities. Any cross-cultural communication helps children from different countries: to know what life is like in different countries; to learn more about other cultures, lifestyles and traditions; to understand how big the world is and how many people live on the planet we call home; to understand that we are all different and at that same time we are much alike.
