Have you also noticed that there are so many mouth-watering products? That is hardly surprising since products containing flavourings dominate almost all supermarkets.
Students from the Catholic University of Leuven share their experiences as foreigners in a country to show how cultural differences are not only a barrier, but also an interesting topic commonly shared among people. An open mind, respect for differences and a will to share are suggested to achieve a successful communicative experience.
When we were in the park, just cycling by, suddenly something was there, it was white and small, I thought is was a kitten, Aleyna thought is was a rabbit… It was actually moving between some leaves and when we got closer to pet it, it was nothing like that, not a kitten, not a rabbit… just a plastic bag.
We went to Rwanda during “Carnaval”. We were 16 Collège Saint-Quintin students. Three teachers and two chaperones accompanied us on the trip.
Leaving for Rwanda, we thought about bringing something for the inhabitats but we were surprised. It was the Rwandans who gave us so much! The trip allowed us to “open our eyes”.
Here we are back in Belgium after two incredible weeks in Rwanda. We have come back changed as a result of this experience. Several things left their mark on us.
One day we went down into the valley and saw people doing their laundry using well water in basins. In Belgium, this is unheard of; one has only to put one’s laundry in the machine.
We are Juliette et Mathilde, students of the College Saint Quirin de Huy in Belgium. We participated in a development project in Rwanda during the Carnaval holiday, along with 14 other students from our school.

My name is Yoline Petit. I am 18 years-old and live in Belgium. Before leaving for Rwanda, I was very shy. I didn’t dare approach others and I was even sometimes suspicious of them. Once in Rwanda, I immediately noticed that people were different from people here in Europe.
Every day millions of people like me go shopping to buy new clothes and leave the stores with happy faces.
By the way, I’m Justine 23 years old, a shopaholic. I love to express myself through fashion, buying something as cheap as possible, so I can change it every day, every week.
For example, H&M or Primark are where I frequently visit.
We coin the phenomenon CLIMIGRATION by blending of the word climate and migration. This phenomenon is defined as the forced and permanent migration of communities because of severe climate change and is likely to become a part of the life of future generations.

Did you know that there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050?
