ABOUT THE PROJECT
Heilig Hart Heverlee -
Liceo Artistico Statale Catalano
This is a Valentine's project that takes inspiration from love songs.
Both sides have created their top 10 of English love songs through the use of Mentimeter. These have been combined in a Spotify playlist.

The Flemish students chose 3 Dutch songs to send to their Italian peers and vice versa. These songs were the starting point for a creative writing assignment.
What feelings and images do these songs evoke when one can't understand the language? The students were asked to write a scene from a love story based on one of the songs provided by the partner school.
The results show that love is an international language.

The story is about a woman named Elisabeth, she is a beautiful woman with short hair. On a Friday night she went to a dance all alone. This was her first time going to a dance and when she entered, she saw that there were a lot of men and women who were dressed very nice. There were violin players and pianists. Everybody was dancing but she was all by herself until she saw a man that she had never seen before. The man is from another city and he has the most beautiful eyes. She was shy at first but decided to make the first move. The man wanted to dance with her because he felt a bit lonely. They both were all alone, so they had nothing to lose. They were dancing all night long to a beautiful song. While they were dancing Elisabeth started noticing she was catching feelings for the man. Everyone was looking at them because they never saw two people dance so beautifully. Elisabeth was shy so she asked the man to stop dancing. They went to a table and asked for drinks. While they were waiting for their drinks the man got a phone call. The man had to go because his brother was in a car crash. Elisabeth wanted to ask his what his name was, but he didn’t answer. He gave her a picture of himself. It was a very old picture, he was 20 years old back then. Elisabeth tried to stop him running but he was too fast. Everybody was looking at Elisabeth. Elisabeth ran after the man, but she was too late. The man took a taxi back to his hometown to visit his brother. Elisabeth started crying in the middle of the street while it was raining. She went back to the ball to ask people of they knew the man. She asked some people if they knew the man, but no one knew him. She left the ball to go back home. On her way home she kept looking at the picture of the man. It was raining so she started running. when she got home, she immediately tried to sleep but she couldn’t because she kept thinking about him. Then she promised herself that she would do anything to find the man. The next morning, she went looking for the man, but nobody knew him. She went into all public buildings she knew, and even travelled to multiple cities. Every day when she wakes up, she still hopes that she will see him again, but she has never seen the man again, or heard of him.
