Greetings from Lafayette, California! Welcome to the Transatlantic Youth Future Council – here at Stanley Middle School!
How will the world look like in 2030? How can we contribute to make it a green, safe, fair and peaceful planet? We had a series of sessions here in our school, with Thomas Röhlinger, who is not only Founder of Radijojo but also one of the Global Experts of UN Alliance of Civilizations, member of the Advisory Board of the Clobal Education Conference and part of the UNESCO/UN Alliance of Civilizations network for Media and Information Literacy and Intercultural Dialogue. So, we have a good postman for our ideas! We came up with tons of good proposals: From new traffic systems to sustainable management of trees to the support for the developing world – we had it all in. (Here, you find some snapshots of only a part of the sessions.)
These Transatlantic Youth Future Council sessions in Lafayette are our contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. And we are greatly looking forward to what our new German peers think about our ideas, and what their suggestions may be.
So: Join us to create a new unique Transatlantic collaboration! Stay tuned – and raise your voice!
The students from Lafayette, California.
Many thanks to our fantastic teacher Claudia Windfuhr – and to the American Association of Teachers of German that brought us all together!

Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the first Transatlantic school radio bridge in history!
The children of Thadenstraße primary school in Hamburg (above) have asked questions. We, the students of North Country Day school in Winnetka, Illinois (in the Chicago region) have answered them – and asked maaaany qestions back!
And guess what: A few days later, our common radio show was aired in real radio, in Hamburg’s community station TIDE – how awesome is that?!?!?
We learned a lot about….. Germany….
….and about making radio!
(Did you know, what a hot clock is? And how you create international radio shows with partners like Radio Foxes in Hamburg and Pacifica radio in the US?)
As another highlight, we presented our Transatlantic project to our whole school.
And now…..
ENJOY our audio for all of you in Hamburg and all students across the Ocean!
Here are our questions for you:
What are your names? Old are you? Do you have any pets? What is the weather like now? What school do you go to? What is school like in Germany? How long is your school day? What subjects are popular in school? What languages do you learn in school? How is your school organized? What is your favorite book? What movies and TV shows do you like? What is the food like in Germany? And: Do you love Hamburgers?
Greetings to our new friends at Thadenstraße in Hamburg! We are greatly looking forward to hearing from you, again!
Many thanks to the Florian and Steffi and the Radiofüchse (Radio Foxes) crew in Hamburg!
Last but not least: Many thanks to our Teacher David Green and to Radijojo!
We are Third Grade Audio – the young voices of North Shore Country Day Day School – thanks for listening! 🙂
Another great honor for Radijojo: We could present our work at the Youth Media Symposium that we organized for us! Plus: we could teach some classes of very gifted young movers and shakers at Temple University, Philadelphia. Many thanks to Sherri Hope Culver for this fantastic time. Thanks also to UNESCO UN Alliance of Civilizations UNITWIN / MILID and the Transatlantic Program of the German Federal Government that brought us all together.

Many thanks for your paintings, dear friends in Berlin, Germany! It was exciting to learn about you and have your works in our hands!
Come on, we lead you around our school!
We love our school!
This place has a sad history: Senator Robert Kennedy was shot and killed here… 🙁
That’s it for the moment – we hope, you have enjoyed the time with us. We cannot wait to hear from you! Byebye from Los Angeles! 🙂
