Skype partners needed for Russian EFL teenagers

Hello,
My name is Ekaterina. I am an EFL teacher in Russia. I teach a group of students (aged 11-13) who would love to Skype with teenagers from foreign countries. My students' native language is Russian but they have been studying English as a foreign language for several years. Their level of English is Elementary / Low-Intermediate. We are seeking for international partners for crosscultural communication and research. My students are interested in the following issues: "School Life Around the World", "Freetime of Teenagers from different countries" , "Customs and Traditions of Different Countries". Our time zone is GMT+5. We are waiting for your reply!!!

Hi Ekaterina, I am from Australia, so maybe our time zones would be possible to videoconference. We are gmt+10. Our school starts at 9am and finishes at 3:30pm. So, our afternoon lessons may work with your mornings. We use videoconferencing a bit. I am anne.mirtschin on skype. Is that what you would use? Also I have access to virtual classroom software where we could share photos, powerpoint presentations etc.
