The students choose some of the stories about bullying written by their eTwinners and write the scripts in order to make videos.

Here is an example:

A STORY ABOUT BULLYING WRITTEN BY THE FRENCH TEAM AND THE ENDING BY THE PORTUGUESE TEAM

Hello, Yann and I would like to write a story about a person coming into a new school and getting bullied about their nationality. What do you think about this idea? Do you have any other ideas? :)

Where did this boy come from ? What's his name ?

Thao came to france for the first time in 2019, he came with his parents and his little

sister Liya. He lived in Pékin with his family. His first day of school in france wasn't

great, He didn't make any friends and Two boys laughed at him because of his eyes.

The second day was even worse a hole group began harassing him because of his

accent. He couldn't go to the principal or the teachers because he didn't speak any

French. It went on and on for weeks until he finally spoke about it to his parents. They tried to talk to the school about it, the principal said he would keep an eye out for him. The day after, Thao finally felt comfortable enough to go talk to someone. He saw this other girl sitting on the bench watching the other kids play and decided to approach her. They began talking and he found out she was also from another country. Her name was Farai , she was a refugee from Africa, they continued talking and suddenly one of the boys that was playing began asking Thao why he was talking to Farai. He explained that he wanted to find a friend and wanted to get to know her. It turns out that boy was Farai’s brother and he didn't want Thao to talk to her because he was Chinese. He pushed Thao to the ground and said that he had to stay away from his sister because she would catch a weird chinese virus which of course was not true. Farai tried to talk to her brother but he wouldn't listen so she took matters into her own hands to help Thao… Imagine the end.

Hi, we are José Pedro and José Manuel from Portugal.

We liked your story very much and here is our suggestion for the end:

Farai started talking to Thao secretly.Over time they started to like each other and started dating. When Farai`s brother found out, he started chasing them and harassing Thao all the time.

One day while he was observing them from a distance , he discovered how gentle and kind Thao was. He wasn't expecting that and was really moved. From that day on they became all friends.

The story is performed by the Italian Team
