On May 13th,
14th, 15th and 16th 2013, 50 students,
specialising in industry, engineering and sustainable development, went to
Germany to put their knowledge into practice.
With
their Technology and English teachers, they got the opportunity to visit 5
remarkable sites located around Stuttgart: the Airport, the Porsche museum
and the two Mercedes factories and museum.
This
blog aims at presenting what they learnt during the visits, but not
only.
During
their free time in Stuttgart city centre, the students were given a mission.
They had to collect information about 3 aspects of life in Germany: further
education, everyday life and the population’s attitude towards the environment.
As most
of our students do not learn German at school, they had to communicate in
English, which gave them the opportunity to improve their speaking and listening
skills in this language.
Finally, this blog will also present you with the
students’ overall impressions about the trip.
We hope
you will enjoy reading these pages.
