Description
The activity aims at changing the negative idea about French people that Spanish students usually have. They consider French people as colder and less welcoming than the Spaniards. For this, students will compare French and Spanish road signs and will write down the differences and the possible meaning they might convey. At the end, students will discuss similarities and differences to come to conclusions concerning the aspects emphasised in France and Spain. Possible solutions appear in a post-it on top of each slide.
