Nowadays people say, “The world is getting
smaller”. And it is really so!
Why? Because we have got a chance to know
more about the things which are going on
in the world.
We have also started to travel more. We are
interested in the ways people live in
different countries. We can also
communicate with each other more often.
This project is devoted to the countries of
our LC as a part of this one big world.
What do we have in common? In what things
are we unique?
WE ARE THE PEOPLES ON THE PLANET
EARTH!
I am a citizen, not of Athens, or Greece, but of
the world."
- Socrates (5th Century B.C.)
We are from four different continents.
We are of many colours. Some of us have got light
skin and some of us have got dark.
Our eyes may be blue, brown, grey or green.
Our hair may be blond, brown, red or black. Some of
us have got curly or wavy hair and some of us have
got straight hair.
Each of us looks special in some way.
We have many different ways of life.
But we are very much alike, too. We must all have food
and water. We all want to be comfortable and happy.
We all need love and friendship. We all love
beautiful things.
We are from different families, groups and countries.
But each of us is also a member of one big family –
the human family.
UKRAINE IS BEAUTIFUL
Ukraine is a unique country and its uniqueness is in its geographical
position, its nature and, of course, its people, especially women. Ukrainian
women are known to be the most beautiful in the world.
Belarus is the country with unique history and rich cultural heritage and
beautiful nature.
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you
can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for
you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
- John F. Kennedy Inaugural address, 1961
The things that are unique and
distinctive about our country’s
culture are our religions which
are all branches of Christians,
Jewish, catholic, Lutheran, and
Baptists. Another unique and
distinctive thing about our
country’s culture is our race.
The races we have are
white\American, black\African
American, Hispanics, Chinese,
Japanese, and Vietnamese, just
to name a few.

Canada is a very unique country, it is famous
for its mixtures of different cultures and
languages, also it is a very peaceful country.
“Canada is a place with beavers, moose, and maple syrup, but we aren't all one culture. In our
class alone, there are 20 or more countries are represented by the different people. We all have
questions for each other about where we come from”. (From Taylor’s e-mail. )

Dear participants
I am back home now after a black three days in the history
of my lovely city. I have never been in such moments I had in these
last three days.I think you might got it in the news .
What happened is that a minaret fell onto a crowded mosque during
prayers Friday in my city, Meknes .I used to pray in that mosque
when we were still living in the old part of the city. I still have many
friends there , and sadly many of them died in this accident.. As
Volunteers and rescue workers finished on Saturday morning their
search operations among the ruble of the 18th-century minaret in
Meknes, authorities said the total death toll stood at 41.The tragic
incident, which occurred due to the heavy rains that weakened the
historic minaret, left 75 injured, of whom 18 are still under medical
supervision..For two days we were there to take that number of
friends to the graveyard .And all my sympathy is for their families.
We will be able to surpass our emotions after all what happened., and
be able to tell you how lovely is our city. We will not speak more
about how thoses people died , but we would like to tell you how
they lived in The lovely city of Mekens. They will stay for ever with
us.
Yours

Understand similarities and celebrate
differences!
The Global Village is not a dream; it is imperative if humankind is to
survive.
We are all equal, and we're so much the same. Knowledge is still our
best weapon, so let's break down the fences and learn more about
each other to make this place better for everyone.
We are very much like bricks in a wall, we each have our place,
though it may seem a small one in so big a wall. But if one brick
crumbles or slips out of place, it begins to throw an undue strain on
others, cracks appear, and the wall totters.
LET’S LIVE ON THE EARTH TOGETHER AS
BROTHERS
World Citizenship is not a replacement for national citizenship, but
rather a new responsibility in this interdependent world to work
together across national boundaries to secure our common fate.
"The age of nations is past, the task before us now,
if we are to survive is to shake off our ancient prejudices, and
build the earth.“
Teilhard de Chardin
We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes,
but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth
together as brothers."
Martin Luther King Jr.
