In this project, pupils translated songs into their partner’s language and then rehearsed joint performances. Their goal was to sing their entire repertoire to three separate audiences during each exchange – the pupils and parents from the host school, the embassy staff and representatives from both the town council and the board of education. In this unique project, Latvian and Czech participants selected a number of songs, which they then together translated into their native languages as well as German. The school accepted volunteers for the project and then adopted a cooperative approach, assigning students to tasks according to their strengths. Translators translated the songs and compiled a relevant dictionary. Artists illustrated the songs and designed the logo for the project while designers created webpages. The singers in the groups learned and rehearsed their own songs as well as those from their partner school. The concerts proved to be a big success during both exchanges. Two of the shows were attended by the respective ambassadors and all shows enjoyed wide media coverage. Student-created posters advertised the events and the groups compiled a calendar of related activities. The fi nal concert was attended by newspaper reporters and fi lmed and recorded by regional television stations. In a studio, engineers touched up the recording and added several new songs. Following the exchanges, a CD and DVD were produced and are being used by music teachers in the schools. A song book including all of the songs was published. The projects were presented to both schools and students received copies of the song books, CDs and DVDs. Although the project is fi nished, the pupils continue to enjoy translating songs from diff erent languages. An evaluation proves that the project motivated the students to learn foreign languages. Preparing and performing the shows also broadened their knowledge of their partners’ culture through personal interaction. In turn, this deepened their European thinking and strengthened inter-European relations. The class exchange also reinforced the social and computer skills of the pupils while strengthening their motivation and confidence.
