In the context of the European E-twinning program entitled "Preserving water and biodiversity in our rivers, seas and oceans" which is implemented in collaboration with Collège Pierre Aguiton, 16 students of the 2nd High School together with the teachers Ioanna Smyrnakis and Eleftheria Pachiadaki carried out an educational visiting Normandy and Paris from 2 to 8 April 2024.
During the visit and at the invitation of the French school located in Brécey, Normandy, the Greek students toured the premises of the French school, attended a lesson with their French classmates and got to know the French education system firsthand. At the same time, they were able to experience the daily life of a teenager in France for a while, as they had the opportunity to stay in the school's dormitory, which is the largest and most modern dormitory in France. The Greek students communicated and interacted with their foreign classmates, ate together in the school restaurant, played table and football in the school yard, bowling in the recreation area and visited local attractions such as Mont Saint Michel and the town of Granville.
The educational visit continued with the students staying in Paris, where there was a scheduled appointment at the Louvre Museum and the Natural History Museum. A tour was made to the most important sights of the European capital such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Place de la Bastille, Notre-Dame de Paris, the Luxembourg gardens and the Montmartre area.
It was an educational experience that will be unforgettable for our students and will continue as the appointment has been renewed for next October where our school will be a host school for the French school and will reciprocate their hospitality.
