Welcome in our World Adventure!

Welcome in our World Adventure!

The aim of our group is to virtually travel across the world and visit and explore as many countries in the world as possible.

We will start our mission on Monday, January 4^th, 2016 in Switzerland, Europe. We will stay in Europe for a while (approx 5 months) and then move on onto next continent. You can see our itinerary below.

We will stay in each country for a week and every day we’ll explore different aspects of local culture. Here is the rough outline for each day:

Music and Art Monday – talking about local music (for kids, folk, national anthem, musical instruments – could be accompanied with some craft, famous bands/singers etc.) and art in all of its forms

Tradition Tuesday – talking about popular traditions, holidays, folk tales, celebrations

Weather and Wildlife Wednesday – talking about actual weather, climate and local wildlife (typical fauna and flora) and sharing interesting and maybe not so commonly known facts about your country

Traveler’s Thursday – tips for travelling within each country, places and spots worth visiting, photos of landscapes

Food Friday – sharing the recipes of traditional food, pictures/talking about lunches at schools,

Social Saturday – here we would like to see some kind of “day in your life”,  a little bit about nurseries, schools (do you have a uniform, what age do kids start school, what time do they start, do they carry books to school, when do they have school holidays, how do you get about (walk / bus / tram / etc) ; what are your favorite toys ; what are the most popular children's TV shows ; where do you play? (swing park / beach / garden etc),  insights about languages (incl. common social phrases)

Sporty and Sneaky Sunday – talking about popular sports, Olympic Games, etc and we can sneak here some questions too (whatever you want to know about the country)

This is only rough guideline to have an idea what we are going to talk about, but we are not limited to them. I’d like to ask all the members to keep our discussion respectful and kind!

When you joined our adventure you chose the country you’d like to represent. These people are considered to be a primary host for the particular week (so are expected to share the most of info), but anybody can share their knowledge.

Here is our itinerary for Europe (I’ll update it, if we will have a new host country or with some other changes). Other continents will be added later, we still hope to have more countries from Asia and Africa – if you know somebody from there who would like to represent their country, please share our adventure (and FB group J)
