STUDENT EXCHANGE WITH GERMANY by Carme Cemeli





This school year the English Department has started an exchange program with a school in Schwerin,Germany. 20 students of ESO 3 travelled to Germany with 2 teachers to spend an intense week in this northern town.
The school prepared a warm welcome: they were ready with a whole week of activities, outings and trips, including a one-day trip to Berlin.
Students had the opportunity to communicate in English with their German friends, thus reinforcing the importance of learning and using English. This kind of experience gives students a real opportunity to learn and expand what they learn in the classroom and gives them an insight into a different culture.
Our German counterparts will visit us in early autumn. We are already looking forward to meeting them again!
