Networking Thursday with the MAABN at the British Council

 

Dear Charlie,

Last Thursday there was a meeting with the MAABN at the British Council. When I heard about it, I  immediately volunteered to be one of the five students who would go there ! Indeed, I took classes at the British Council last year, and I have such good memories about it ! The four other volunteers were Tiphaine and Julia (from Première) and King and Raphael (from Seconde) and I think they enjoyed the meeting as much as I did !

When we arrived we were all a bit shy and impressed, but the atmosphere was very friendly and we soon felt at ease and we began to talk to the other people. Even if we were the only children, they were kind and interested about the OIB section, so we chatted a lot ! From Vienna to California, or even Australia, people have come from all around the world. To make it funnier, the British Council proposed to play a game to mingle : we had to find basic objects (such as a golden key, a photo, a pen...) and we almost won !!

We talked about our video about Belfast, and the British council members proposed to put it on their website !!

We thank them for everything,

Raphael, King, Paloma
