Cultural Box Exchange

Cultural Box Exchange

English For Ever School - Santa Branca - Brazil


	Would you like to receive a package prepared by Brazilian students, showing a little about our customs, traditions, crafts and everyday life? This is what this project is about, sending and receiveing packages all over the world to learn more about our far away pals. Our box basically consists of crafts, newspapers, magazines, comic books. Samples of our currency, play bills and coins, our flag, collages of famous people and our wonderful nature, postcards, pictures, a video cassette and a tape with Brazilian music. A booklet showing our town, school and students and other small gifts such as keyrings, mugs, puzzles and whatever we can find to describe a little more about our culture and habits. If you´d like to take part in this project, please, send an e-mail to patty@iconet.com.br Here are some of the exchanges we´ve made in the past few years with schools around the world. This has been an awsome way to learn about different cultures, our similarities, our differences. Each of our boxes have always been prepared with a lot of care and enthusiasm. We thank all teachers and students who have participated this project.

This was one of our first exchanges and it´ll always be remembered. 1998 Tim Hunt Grandbury TX - USA In August 1998, we started a wonderful correspondence with Mr.Hunt's students. They are from Grandbury - Texas. We've exchanged information about the weather, the changing of the seasons in the USA and Brazil, and some other topics of interest to us.
