We would like them to use the forum actively, by reading what the others have posted and writing about their own world. During stages 2 and 3 we expect them to become more aware of their own reality, while realising that it is not the only one possible. We would like them to become a little bit more open minded by comparing their life styles and environment. And, of course, we would like to know about the different ways of celebrating Christmas. hide
