Project Summary

For our students, the European Union is a rather theoretic approach. Since many of them don’t have the finances to travel and get to know people of other European countries, our project aims to change that. We want our students to get to know other students from other countries, discuss about similari-ties and differences and also celebrate together.

Our idea is that every school announces a “Day of foreign cultures” at their school. For this day, students from the partnering school travel to the organizing school and run different workshops based on their talents and interests. The students of the organizing school can participate in two of them. The students will prepare the workshops themselves and also set the specific topic based on their talents and interest. This may be dance, mini-language course, cooking special regional food, interactive city tour, presenting a play or something totally different which they may think interests other students. The special thing about our project is that not only directly involved pupils benefit, but the entire school environment. All pupils and teachers of the school visited are invited to take part in the workshops.

A schedule for a visit could look like this:
First day Arrival, Get-to-know party
Second day Get-to-know-games; Students of organizing school prepare city tour of hosting city, in the afternoon workshop preparation
Third day Day of Cultures
Fourth day Field trip or school Hospitation
Fifth day Departure
