The pupils are learning on a linguistic, cultural and social level. Together, they become aware of what it means to be a European citizen, and its sustainable and environmental aspects : Green Citizenship (the theme of this project).
In this project, we linked our usual exchange program of (over) 20 years, to European themes such as language, citizenship, environment and sustainability. Linguistic and cultural purpose: getting pupils to think about and discuss good citizenship and sustainability. Museum visits and workshops around the same themes will be part of the project. Participants are 25 pupils (15-16 years old, most of them in class 4vwo) of Hervormd Lyceum Zuid, from Amsterdam and 25 pupils (same age group) of Lycée Jeanne d’Arc from Rouen, France. The french and dutch teachers work closely together to prepare their pupils for the exchange weeks. Initial contact will me made through letters and emails/socials/ messages. The activities during the exchange are selected to fit the themes of the project and the pupils interests.
