Students' exchange in Germany
Since 1993 there has been a cooperation between Gymnázium Velké Meziříčí and Gymnasium Weilheim in Bavaria in Germany. The most important part of this cooperation are the students´ exchange stays. In autumn one class of Gymasium Weilheim (10-year students) with their two teachers come to stay in Velké Meziříčí while our students (2-year) stay in Bavaria in June. During the stay both students get to know the life in their partner school as well as the town and some landmarks of the region.
The importance of this exchange programme is not only to use and improve the practical knowledge of a foreign language (German, English) but, what is maybe more important, the students can also learn about the way of life and culture of their foreign friends and another country.
After the exchange students and their teachers make a chronicle where you can find the information about the students, programme of the stay, students' impressions, experiences and also photographs.
In 2005 the German students have brought a hand-made book where they introduce themselves.
