Berlin Chicago Kids Talk

From: Radijojo World Children's Radio Network
Length: 00:30:00

This segment clearly illustrates the virtually endless possibilities inherent in new forms of media and its impact on primary school children worldwide: Primary children from the Richton Park School near Chicago and the Charles Dickens European School in Berlin took part in the first Transatlantic Internet phone conference of children to be broadcast via radio. The kids had the opportunity of engaging in a direct inquiry about the the significant themes in their daily lives, such as sports, politics, and school. These exchanges afford the children the chance to go beyond their national borders and share with their peers half-way across the world, as an exercise in cross-cultural exchange. Both schools put their collective energies together and delivered fascinating self-produced podcasts and self-written songs, especially created for this radio segment. Read the full description.

Atrium_03 Children from the Richton Park School near Chicago and the Charles Dickens European School in Berlin took part in an internet phone conference. They asked each other, via the Internet, very direct and thought-provoking questions about their respective lands: about politics, sport, climate, etc. The radio show also features a self produced podcast that the Richton park School made about Richton Park area  in Chicago, which deals with topics such as the the history of the town, school life, weather, sports etc. The Charles Dickens school also contributed some lovely self-produced songs; one with a Brecht-like influence and other piece with a more soulful musical style.
