Travel broadens the mind” it is usually said, when one packs his or her suitcase and hits the road, but this time we could become more open-minded people without leaving our hometown Bieruń (Poland), thanks to two guests, who visited our school in May - Kubra from Turkey and Munisch from India. They visited Poland as volunteers of AIESEC, which is the international organisation of young people, who work on global issues and focus on developing leadership skills and student exchange programmes. As one of the goals of this organisation is cross-cultural understanding, our guests’ task was to present their culture to Polish students.

Read all about it!

This autumn Elof Lindälvs Gymnasiet, in Kungsbacka hosted the partner schools from Spain, Poland, Turkey, Romania and Italy. 

Students and teachers visited the school from Monday 11^th to Friday 16^th October and took part in a number of academic and cultural activities. The aim of the visit to Sweden was give the students a closer look into the world of news and encourage them to reflect on how newspapers create their front page. After an eventful week together the students interacted during the final workshop and produced their very own front page based on the events they themselves had participated in. 

They made the news. They were the news. They produced the news.
