Latvia

Page history last edited by PBworks 17 years, 3 months ago
Faye Cookand Daniel Raven-Ellison travelled to Riga and Ogre in Latvia. During our short 36 hour trip we met a very warm welcome from the Latvians we spoke to.

 

Neither of us speak Latvian and our £180 trip budget did not allow for us to employ an interpreter. We had managed to contact two teachers in Latvia through the British Council and apart from a priest in Riga the rest of the interviews were thanks to Peteris in Ogre and Tanja in Riga.

 

We asked the same common questions as all the other Geography of Happiness groups. The videos are edited so that you can easily download them and edit your own Geography of Happiness videos (make sure you upload them to http://blip.tv to share them if you do).

 

 

  • Is your local area happy or not? (Score 1 (unhappy) to 10 (very happy)) How would you improve the score? VIDEO 1
  • Is your country a happy country? VIDEO 2
  • Are some people more happy than others? VIDEO 3
  • Where in the world is the happiest place? VIDEO 4
