We are currently looking for participants (age 18-20) for a new educational documentary/reality series called “Best Friends For a Day”, filmed in Ireland.

The series is being produced by one of the major broadcast public service companies in Sweden: www.ur.se, an institution for educational media comparable to the UK´s counterpart BBC Learning or BBC Bitesize. “Best Friends for a Day” will be aired on national television and distributed as educational media to schools all over Sweden.   

The premise of the show is simple: We follow an enthusiastic Swedish teenager to UK/Ireland where he´ll befriend an English-speaking local peer for a couple of days, and together they´ll do all the things the local teenager would normally do with his/her real-life best friends (everything from school to leisure activities). The main purpose of the series is for young people in Sweden to develop their English communication skills through the real-life events our teenagers face in the show. Simply an exciting way for our viewers to learn how young people live and communicates in various English speaking countries.
