On April 23rd, we celebrated at Liceo Caracense World Book Day. We celebrate it every year, but this time, it was connected to our Joining Hands project. Students with an immigrant background read poetry in their family's original language: Arabic, Romanian, Bulgarian, Italian, Chinese... And we also read chapters of "Don Quixote de la Mancha" in different languages. We are all travellers, and the whole school took advantage of another opportunity to celebrate diversity.

Here you have some photos and videos of the event.

 

 

 

In France, we made different recordings or videos to illustrate that special day. Here is the video shot by Eve, in which she speaks in German.

We celebrated World Book Day on 15 May 2018. We had to put off this event until that day because most students were involved in school trips and language stays abroad at the end of April.
