Online event for students

Dear partners,

On the teachers meeting we decided to organize students online meeting on 20th December at 10.00 AM (Brussels time). 

🎤Each group of students will perform a song from their country.

💌Everyone will have the opportunity to exchange holiday wishes with friends from other countries.
🎶 Just like in the fable The Cricket and the Ant, crickets and ants will come together to sing and celebrate in the warmth of our school “classrooms.” And to wrap up the celebration, we will all sing Jingle Bells together!

📍 Location: TwinSpace – Online Meetings
