Lyc�e : "Spanish school looking for a school exchange" |
Hello
We are a Secondary/ High school in Urretxu, based in the Basque country, northern Spain. The school is located in a scenic place surrounded by mountains and very well connected with the beautiful city of San Sebastian, and one hour far away from the Bilbao and Biarritz international airports which facilitates exchanges. Also, it’s fair to say our region is very famous for its excellent gastronomy; here you can eat the best pintxos (mini tapas) in the whole world.
We are looking for partners from other countries for an exchange project in host families for this course 2022-23. We have a group of 30 to 35 students aged 16-17who can communicate in a lower-intermediate English, and Spanish or Basque.
The aim of this project is to allow students to interact with and learn from people who are in a different country. This cultural exchange will assist our students to develop positive relationships with others, broad their perspectives, and develop the knowledge and skills needed for participation in our multicultural society.
They would start with a “virtual” interaction, practicing their ICT skills by emails, WhatsApps, Skype… chatting about their own cultures and traditions… and after that they would have the 5-7 day trip abroad; this visit could be in spring 2023, although we are flexible to change the dates.
We think travelling on a program like this really opens the world up to students. This type of programs encourages them to take their English classes seriously when they know they will actually use the language in person.
