What the children say

“I enjoy school, most days! I’d ask a child in Ghana if he/she enjoyed school and whether the teachers are strict”.
(Sophia, aged 9, Oxford)

“We’ve heard that it can be really cold in England – I’d like to know what it’s like when it snows, and whether it’s really slippery!”
(Kwame, aged 12, Accra, Ghana)

“I’d like to know about the families in Africa – do they have lots of people in the same house? And what is the house like?”
(Ben, aged 7, Cambridgeshire)

“At my school we like playing with Pokemon cards – and in the playground we play football. I’d ask a child in Ghana about his favourite games”.
(Oliver, aged 8, Over, near Cambridge)

Schools that already have an international partnership are offered a new dimension to their link. SoundAffects allows children the opportunity to work with professional radio broadcasters in order to tell their stories and contribute to joint cross-cultural curriculum projects. The project will raise children's awareness about each other's lives, and also allow them to develop advocacy skills with which to ask and respond to considered and thoughtful questions of their counterparts at their twinned school.
