OUR FARM STORY

This clip is dedicated to children aged 5 to 8 years. It tells a story about two animals that live in a farm, a pig and a cow, but both speak a different language to the one they should. During the story, they try their best to teach each other their langauges so that they can speak both languages and the rest of the animals in the farm stop making a mockery out of them.


What we really want to promote with this video clip is to accept the fact that people have different backgrounds, different cultures and differents languages and that nobody should be excluded just because they are different. It includes atention to diversity in class and at the same time, it makes the kids reflect on how they treat their friends who belogn to a different backgorund. They also get the chance to see how useful a second language can be and they see it as a positive way of making new friends in stead of seeing it as a negative or useless knowledge and learning.
