Our school has already organized an exchange trip for eighth
class pupils for the fourteenth consecutive year. This year, 21 students came
on the tour.
The first part of the exchange took place in Prague from
18.4. to 22.4.2017. The danish children were accommodated in host families. In
this program organized by the school, the children attended a one-day English
or German language lesson on the first day, went on a guided tour of Prague
with a „special quest“ and then their own bowling tournament. The pupils spent
the next day at „rope sport center“ where they did various
tight-rope activities designed to to build trust and teamwork. Finally they had
laser-games and visited the Terezín concentration camp on the last day.
Afternoon and evening programs were always provided by the host families.
The entire program was in English.
The second part of the exchange took place from 30
April to 5 May 2017. Once again, we had the opportunity to visit the Danish
town of Ringe and our partner school, Ringe Efterskole.
An extensive program was prepared fot our children - they
attended classes and sports activities at the school, as well as, Ringe games.
They visited Legoland and the city of Odense with a tour of the Hans C.
Andersen Museum. They also went on boat
cruises along the river in the coastal town of Faaborg. The program also
included a cycling trip to the Egeskov Chateau. At the end, Danish parents
prepared meeting in common at the school for all participant - the traditional
"goodbye party".
During our stay, our children lived with Danish families, so
they not only had the opportunity to practice in English, but also to have a
look at everyday life in Denmark and establish new friendships in Western
Europe.
