Thirty Grade 8 students from Senator Patrick Burns School are visiting Barcelona in March 2017. In their programme, they have scheduled to visit Institut Quatre Cantons for a couple of days.

In order to establish a first contact between the thirty Canadian students and the host group of Catalan students who will accompany them while visiting Institut Quatre Cantons, some previous activities have been taken into account.

On December 11 2016 a skype session was programmed between the students in Calgary and the students in Barcelona. In groups of four, they kept conversations in both, Spanish and English, asking questions previously settled about Christmas traditions in both countries. During an hour (8:15 am in Calgary, 16:15 pm in Barcelona), they could establish a first contact and share some "virtual" time together
