Chat con Margot Wallstrom: 11th May 2007
After working on the webpage "Spring Day in Europe 2007", we decided to enrol in the Chat activity. It was scheduled on 11th May at 2 p.m, so we brought our packed lunch to the computer classroom and engaged on an interesting hour to share our questions on Europe with other 8 schools from Spain, Latvia, Italy, Romania, Belgium, Bulgaria and Turkey.
First we were asked to log on at 2:00, and then wait our turn. From Brussels they told us to prepare the questions beforehand, to type them and read the answers until the third part of the chat, when our school could go on with our questions. Margot Wallstrom, ViceCommissioner of the European Union was online answering what she thought or considered should be the next 50 years of the EU.
It was very exciting to check that some of the participants were asking too local or general questions... and the ViceCommissioner played the political role! Anyway, we thought she was quite close to the students´ fears or suggestions... and after a long hour chatting, we can say we enjoyed taking part in it.
The topic "The next 50 years for the EU" may be a guess, but the atmosphere of having fun while doing an English activity was quite real for the students on the photo.
Thanks to the students: Maitane Sardón, Sara García, Esther García, Mónica Polo, Silvia Rodríguez and Rut Romero (2º Bachillerato).
I wish you the best, young and prepared European girls as you are...
