We, Paula Bieg, Emily Dauner (both Q12) and Lucija Zovko (Year 11), have the opportunity to take part in an exchange with our partner school in Finland. The project is funded by Erasmus Plus. However, before we traveled to Lappeenranta, our three exchange partners joined us for three weeks. During this time, we had many wonderful experiences together: we visited theater performances and of course the sights of Schwäbisch Hall, but also Munich, Stuttgart and even Prague. We had a lot of fun and grew closer and closer as a group. This also gave us an insight into Finnish culture and, above all, improved our English language skills. We are now looking forward to gaining our own experiences during our three-week stay in Finland in April 2024. We are looking forward to gathering our own impressions and seeing our exchange students again.
