To increase students interest in the project and make it more exciting teachers kept nationality of partners in secret. Students from both schools were asked to prepare questions helping to guess the country and city where partners live. All the questions were written in a shared google document and the answere were discussed. Next we organised an hour meeting on Skype. There were some technical problems with the sound but we managed to communicate through chat. It wasn't that difficult to guess the countries as students forgot that we can hear their mother tongue. ;)
But still we had great time chatting.
