"I learned and had fun"

Maria Andrea Rodriguez Leon, student from Venezuela

The teachers were excellent, the classes very dynamic because we used ipads to saw the classes and we go out to the street to talk with people we did not know but we managed to communicate. It was very fun to record videos of our interviews, our musical compositions, dances, our experiences in the city
And the best was James, the principal, very funny
