Christiane Berton-Heinen

I am a language teacher (English as a foreign language and German as a foreign language), and therefore, I am no specialist of the subject of citizenship. But my colleague Martine insisted to have someone who was able to follow discussions in English, so she asked me whether I would agree to enter the project with a colleague of mine, Rosalie Speciale, who will be more of a specialist of the subject than myself. So we agreed to help each other out, so to say, each with our specific experience. Of course as a foreign language teacher I am also interested in issues like cross-cultural education and Belgium is certainly a living example of the living together of different communities, with all the political implications that this can have!
