When you gather information about your town don’t forget to use Google Earth to get as good a view as possible over the surroundings. You may save screenshots over places you find especially interesting, for example, the main street, the school, parks etc. Make sure to only use allowed or official pictures.
Search YouTube for videos from your town.
Compare your town with Skutskär, Älvkarleby or Gävle and write down your thoughts about the differences and similarities, for example, the school system, everyday life, economy, health care.
You are going to write a Letter of Introduction and e-mail it to the city’s mayor, police chief, the principal or another person in a leading position.
