Some students, who attend 4th and 5th grade of Primary School Rače and participate in the Erasmus+ project, took a part in an activity called Mystery call. This activity was something new – we connected to Jitsi and we had to find out who was waiting for our call. 

The fact that our schools are locked down and that our students had to connect from their homes presented a challenge for all the participants. After long deliberation, we came up with an idea that during the implementation of activities on Jitsi our students could connect and consult with each other in a chat in MS Teams. 

We were nervously expecting the first call. The students waited patiently for the connection to be established. When it was their turn, they sovereignly asked our partners about their country in English. Partners were allowed to answer only with yes or no. 

Do you find it difficult? In fact, it wasn’t! In both calls, the participating students found out very quickly who was calling them. Our mysterious friends were students from the school »EBI Francisco Ferreira Drummond« from Portugal in the first call and in the second students from the school »4o Dimotiko Sholio Edessas« from Greece. 

To present our culture and language, our student Luka from 3. class recited the song by Tomaž Habe »My country is there«. Leila, also a student of 3. class, sang a song »You’ve got the whole world in your hand«, written and arranged by author Jože Potrebuješ.  

The students from Portugal first danced for us, and then played a special Portuguese rhythm with spoons. Greek students danced a piece of their folk dances for us. Then we taught each other three words – good morning, good afternoon, and thank you in our own language.
