Student exchange programs held in Marburg and near Lyon

Students recently participated in international exchange programs in Germany and France. In Marburg, Germany, Swiss exchange students arrived in early September to participate in a week of cultural activities. The program included school tours, city explorations of the Marburg Castle and marketplace, and group activities such as paddling, workshops in cooking, dancing, and theater, and a visit to a climbing forest.

In early October, a group of students traveled to St. Didier-de-Formans, near Lyon, France. During their eight-day stay, students attended Collège Jean Moulin and experienced local school life, including multi-course cafeteria meals. The visit included excursions to Lyon and various sporting activities such as archery, golf, and floorball. Despite local protests regarding the French education system requiring a police presence at schools, the exchange concluded harmoniously.
