Our work for the contest

The next work we are presenting is a number of interviews we have been doing lately for a contest. In the interview we had to show what it is like to live abroad for someone from here or the lifestyle change for someone who has just moved in to The Basque Country.

The work was challenging due to the fact that we could not find the right time to interview because of the timetables. To start with, we had to prepare the questions in different languages for the different interviewees. Moreover, we had to prepare it in French acknowledging the fact that Jean spoke Spanish. As soon as we had prepared all the questions, we decided to set a date for the interviews. Unfortunately, we had problems, the interviewees did not turn up at the arranged time.

By the time we did the interviews, we were already snowed under with exams and unfortunately, had to focus on our studies. This is the main reason why we were running out of time with this work.

There were five of us in this project; Amaia, Lourdes, Elisabeth, Ioana and Kristina. The division of the work was decided the first day and it turned out to be a resounding success.

Amaia was in charge of choosing the questions which were going to be used in the interview and translating them to English. She was also a great help for the making of the videos. This last activity could not have been done without the help of Lourdes and Eli, who interviewed the foreigners. They also helped with the translations and Lourdes was the main designer of the videos. Kristina and Ioana  did also a huge effort to bring the material and to take part in the shooting of the interviews. It is necessary to underline the determination of Ioana when preparing everything for the shootings.

This last letter was written by Amaia and Eli after discussing the content with our peers.

We hope you have enjoyed our introduction to our this year's last work and don't forget to watch our interviews that appear just beneath.
