We initially applied to organize an internship abroad in London. Our school and school group attach great importance to internationalization and foreign cooperation. In addition, we wanted to motivate students, through the internship abroad, to complete their degrees and consequently prevent pupils leaving school before obtaining a degree. Another aim of organizing the internship abroad was to broaden the pupils' horizons. Our pupils often grow up in poverty and do not have the opportunity to go abroad. Their living environment is often limited to our own city. Through the internship abroad, we cannot only give them a broader view of the working field, but also enable them to get to know another culture. Both these facts, in turn, have a positive effect in forming their personal opinion and reducing discrimination.
