Summary:

An experience I would recommend. I have been running this exchange for the last three years, we have lots of ilms, photos, evaluations and I love it.... we are soon expanding, we went from 8 kids taking part to 24 next round....

Venue: Toulouse/ college Flora tristan

we have successfully run this trip with our partner school for the last three years now and consolidated excellent relationships

Transport: East Yorkshire Coaches

So happy to be using this company they are so good and it is a pleasure to use a local company with greta drivers to travel such a long distance

Benefit:

languages and history skills gained as we are working on a project funded by the British council and we are making a film on the theme of dracula which will be filmed and produced by pupils from France and UK ( Kelvin Hall and partner school ) and will appear on the blog we share between our schools.
The trip is funded by British council and the project is registered with e-twinning

Plus points:

great fun with the kids making a film, great experiences abroad

Minus points:

wiping tears out for kids who get home sick when staying with a foreign family but it all worked out in the end.

Overall:
