Try to imagine the following situation: You are eight years old, attending a primary school. You have a home, friends, a family and relatives. ...

Then your parents decide (for economic reasons) to move to a large town in Greece: you live in a rented flat, you do not speak any Greek, and you have to go to the local primary school.

Imagine sitting in that classroom for the first time. What are your feelings? What can you see and hear?

-----------------------

Take ten minutes to write a paragraph on your imagined reaction to the situation and save it on your disk. You may also want to share it with one or two colleagues in your group.
