Tyra, Liza and Mario: Mario Goes to Choir Practice

Stories about the everyday lives of children living in eight different countries around the world.

The programme visits three children who are all having an exciting day.

In Ghana, five-year-old Tyra learns English at school and plays games in the playground.

In Russia, Liza, who is seven, spends the morning at the playground trying to beat her twin brother, Styopa, at standing on one leg, hanging on to a climbing frame and a hopping race.

And in Italy, seven-year-old Mario sings a song in front of a whole choir.

We see that, although children live in different countries, may look different and speak different languages, the joys and challenges of childhood are universal.
