Happy Easter to you!
Also in Trieste we have similar traditions: we paint the eggs (not as beautiful as your, Marika!) and your Tsoureki is like our sweet leavened bread we call "Titola". It symbolizes the nail of the cross of Jesus. I suppose this similarities are due to the presence of a big Greek comunity in Trieste since 1700. But we have also the chocolate eggs!













And yes, we were in Munich (Germany) with 43 students of the third year of middle school. They are 14 and they study two foreign languages: english and german. And Germany is the nearest country for us! Other classes were in Graz and Wien (Austria) and in Nice and Principality of Monaco (France) because they study French as third language.

Hello to everybody!

Hello! Finally I'm at home again!
I've had a hard period at school. First of all I was in Munchen with my oldest students for a 5-days trip, and it was really tiring week. We are back home on Friday night and on Monday I left again for a 5-days trip in Torino and Aosta with the middle students. Now I have only two days at school before the Easter holidays but I'm really KO!
And in this period, from March to Easter, all students are involved in theate projects with rehearsal and construction of sets and I've to manage all their movements.
I hope that my students prepare a slide-show of their trips before Easter to share with European friends their findings and feelings.
Ciao
Luisa

Hello from Trieste!

Trieste is a multicultural town, since from the government of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. We have several different community with their own church, and also in the schools we have students from every part of Europe and World.

In the picture you can see our main square: Unity Square of Italy (Piazza Unità d’Italia). It’s a wonderful square, with the main public buildings on three sides and in front of them the sea. Today we have some wind, the “bora”, and you can see the flags waving.

When I see this map, words like "dreams", "plans", "share", "together", "excitement", "smiles"...  come to my mind.


And you?

What do you see? What do you feel?
