Students in Victoria take pictures of their lives. They show a unique world of local customs and every day life. Students share their photo stories via the Internet with their partner schools in Germany.

Students in a Germany learn about the Australian way of life. The German students reply with a photographic answer to one of the photos they receive from Australia. Using the Internet they share their answers with their Australian partners.

The focus on bei mir and bei dir facilitates the students' exploration of similarities and differences within and across cultures through sharing photos and individual stories. This promotes reflection about diversity throughout the world in which we all live - Our Place.

At the end of the project German teachers at Australian schools submit their best pairs of photos to the Goethe-Institut in Melbourne. A selection of these will be shown at an exhibition in Melbourne during Term 3, 2008 and may later be exhibited throughout schools in Victoria and Germany.
