Videoconference with Norway

This morning we had a new experience: we had a group videoconference with our Norwegian colleagues. Last week we prepared some topics, such as hobbies, food, sports, habits, and today we made them some questions and explained about ourselves. It was very interesting, since we found out things like most boys and girls play football as a hobby, they do volleyball at school, and they speak many languages: Norwegian, very good English, some Spanish, and they are learning French or Portuguese too!! And, finally, they showed us with their webcam that it is snowing today in Norway!!!

Learning about other cultures

Now that we explained about our culture to Askeladden and the rest of our colleagues, this week we concentrated ourselves on learning about other countries' cultures and writing some facts about them. For example:

Turkey:
-On the 23rd April they celebrate the National Children's Day (just the same day we have Sant Jordi!)
-They practise a sport riding horses called "Javalin"
-In their country it is very important the extended family and the oldest person is the authority

Norway:
-Most people have evangelical religion.
-Their traditional houses are made of wood.

Portugal:
-Feijodas is a typical food from Portugal.
-The popular monuments are Palacio da pena, Convento de Cristo and Torre de Belém.
