On the 27 of April 2026 we started out with waking up in Paris and eating breakfast ,afterwards we started our 50 minutes walk to the train station in Paris to take a train to Cean . Our first train from Cean to Cherbourg was cancelled, so we took one later and arrived in Cherbourg there we were greeted by the teachers who organised the exchange with our teachers.We ate and drank and then started to talk about our Erasmus project and what we wanted to do , later we met our Exchange students and went home with them.

On the 5th day in Cherbourg, the Thursday, we were at the school from 8-17 oâclock and we worked on our projects (cruise terminal, maritime museums, costal defenses, submarine) the whole day long, writing texts, recording them and putting together pictures and voices.
After that we were walking to the city hall and got welcomed by the deputy mayor of Cherbourg and got a small tour through a part of the old rooms of city hall which date back to the times of Napoleon III.

On Friday it was a holiday, so my host family and me went to the Mont-Saint-Michel, which is about 2 hours from Cherbourg. The Mont-Saint-Michel is a village on an island.
When we arrived, we took the bus, to cross the bridge. After that we made a picknick and then we walked in the little alleys to the abbey. It was so beautiful. When we were out again, I saw a few little parks, which looked so pretty. We went in many shops with little souvenirs, toys and even swords. When we eaten an Ice cream, we sat on a rocky with a few of the sea, around the island.
In my opinion it was a really great visit, because I like small alleys and old buildings. It was a really good day with my host family.

Today we arrived at the Bremenhaven Train Station. The whole town is cute and cozy whch makes it wonderful. We did a cooking challenge. 4 teams competed, every team had to prepare 3 meals. It was a great experience and fun time. Of course we all tasted and rated them. Then we spent some time with our host families and got to know each otherâs culture. Overall we had a great day in Bremenhaven with our German exchange partners!

On Thursday we visited a beautiful city which is full of urban storys – Bremen. At the beginning we went to many must-see spots like the town musicians of Bremen or St. Petri Cathedral, which we went into. Also at every spot two of students from Bremenhaven were telling us about those places. Next milestone on out trip was visiting museum in which story of town was presented by people who reenactlife from the past. We ended our tour at the town hall where we could hear more about its history and work nowadays. After 6pm, we returned by train to Bremerhaven and couldnât wait for the next day đ

Today we visited Helgoland. We had a guided tour through the most beautiful places on the Island. After that we had free time to take some photos and walk through the main places there. The trip was truly amazing, because we could see how the lives of the people living there looks like. Also the view of the place was breathtaking as well as the unique animals living there. We travelled both ways by the boat, so it was also really entartaining, as we could make the most of the nice weather.

Sunday was a free day for the host families, and I spent it in Bremerhaven. In the morning, we visited Klimahaus Bremerhaven, which I enjoyed very much. The exhibition was engaging, and I found it really interesting how well it presented different climate zones around the world, especially their temperatures. They have also opened a new âExtreme Weatherâ zone, whose moving floor and real-time effects made this experience unforgettable.
âLater, we went to a wake park, where I spent about two hours learning how to ride. Despite the harsh weather, it was a great experience â I had a lot of fun and managed to improve quite a bit. However, it was also physically demanding, and my arms were extremely tired by the end.
âIn the evening, I went with some of the exchange pairs to a local bowling alley. The atmosphere was very friendly, and it helped us bond as a group. We laughed a lot and had a really good time together.
âOverall, I enjoyed the whole day very much. I came back home tired, but happy and satisfied.

In the morning we came to the school to attend our exchange partners‘ german class, in which we discussed what atmosphere do colours prevalent in poems create. The colors we were talking about were the still and calm blue and the emotional red. The students also recited the poems.
After the class had ended, we headed to a room, where we worked on our group projecs, which were posters showing many similarities and differences between Poland and Germany in various aspects of life. Then we proceeded to hang the posters in a room, where the European Language Cafe was about to take place.
The European Language Cafe was an event in the school, where you were given an opportunity to meet people, students or teachers, that spoke different european languages. You could find out more about the languages from their respective languages and try some food from their cultures. Everyone was really nice and we had a wonderful time. Needles to say, in our opinion the event was a huge succes. If we were to be given an opportunity to attend a similar event in the future, we would definitely say yes!
On Sunday we woke up at 5:30 in the hostel. From there we went to Hamburg Airport, where we arrived at roughly 6:15 AM. We went trough the check-in and the security check and borded on time at 7:50 AM. At 1 o’clock we landed at Gran Canaria Airport and from there we were taken to the school by taxi. From there our exchange students picked us up, the parents took the suitcases and then we went to the shopping center Las Arenas next to the school where we had sandwiches for lunch. After that, they showed us the surrounding area and we went to see a concert on the last day of carnival. We also visited another shopping center near the place where the concert took place. At 8 o’clock we all went home to the families of our exchange students. (Finja)
Danach besuchten wir eine Einrichtung des Roten Kreuzes, die sich nicht weit vom Aquarium entfernt befindet. Dort erfuhren wir etwas darĂŒber, wie Menschen in Not geholfen wird und welche wichtige Rolle diese Organisation spielt. Es war interessant zu sehen, wie Hilfsarbeit in der Praxis organisiert wird.
AnschlieĂend gingen wir gemeinsam ins Aquarium. Dort konnten wir viele faszinierende Meeresbewohner beobachten â von bunten tropischen Fischen bis hin zu beeindruckenden Haien. Besonders die groĂen Aquarientunnel waren sehr beeindruckend, weil man das GefĂŒhl hatte, mitten im Ozean zu stehen.
Nachdem wir das Aquarium besucht hatten, gingen die meisten von uns zunÀchst nach Hause, um sich etwas auszuruhen. Um 17:30 Uhr traf sich unsere Erasmus+-Gruppe jedoch wieder. Gemeinsam gingen wir in ein
groĂes Einkaufszentrum, um noch ein paar Dinge fĂŒr die Heimreise zu kaufen. Dort verbrachten wir einige Zeit mit Shoppen und GesprĂ€chen.
Am Ende des Tages gingen wir schlieĂlich alle wieder nach Hause. Es war ein abwechslungsreicher und sehr schöner Tag, den ich bestimmt nicht so schnell vergessen werde.
Danach haben wir eine groĂe Keramiktafel gesehen, auf der San Lorenzo abgebildet ist. Auf der Tafel wurde erklĂ€rt, wie die Kirche und das Viertel frĂŒher aussahen. Diese Tafel ist etwas Besonderes, weil sie zeigt, wie wichtig Geschichte und Religion fĂŒr die Stadt sind.
Vom 20.11.25 bis zum 23.11.25 nahm Frau Bliek als Vertreterin des Lloyd Gymnasiums am Kontaktseminar der UK-German Connection in Teltow bei Berlin teil. Ziel der Veranstaltung war die Anbahnung einer Schulpartnerschaft mit einer britischen Schule und die initiale Planung eines gemeinsamen Projektes.
ZunÀchst stellten sich die 17 teilnehmenden britischen und die 17 deutschen Schulen vor. Es war sehr spannend, einen Einblick in die verschiedenen Konzepte der Schulen zu erhalten.
Bereits am ersten Abend lernten sich die Vertreter:innen der Partnerschule kennen, um die nĂ€chsten Tage fĂŒr die gemeinsame Planung nutzen zu können. Wir freuen uns, dass wir mit der Bellahouston Academy in Glasgow, Schottland eine neue Partnerschule fĂŒr das Lloyd Gymnasium gefunden haben!
Der Freitagmorgen begann frĂŒh mit einem Besuch des Dalton Gymnasiums in Potsdam. Wir erhielten einen Einblick in die Dalton-Zeit und weitere Unterrichtsstunden und konnten interessante GesprĂ€che mit dem Kollegium fĂŒhren.
Danach wurden wir in verschiedenen Informationsveranstaltungen auf die Planung eines gemeinsamen projektgeleiteten Austausches vorbereitet und erhielten Zeit, ein konkretes Projekt fĂŒr unsere beiden Schulen zu planen. Aktuell bereiten wir einen Austausch mit politischem Fokus fĂŒr Jahrgang 9 vor und planen, noch in diesem Schuljahr erstmalig unsere Partnerschule in Glasgow zu besuchen, um gemeinsam an diesem Projekt zu arbeiten!
Neben der Projektplanung durfte auch ein Besuch in Berlin nicht fehlen. So besuchten wir u. a. gemeinsam das ReichtagsgebÀude.
Insgesamt bot die Veranstaltung eine groĂartige Möglichkeit, sich nicht nur mit seiner Partnerschule, sondern mit vielen verschiedenen Vertreter:innen britischer und deutscher Schulen auszutauschen. Das Lloyd Gymnasium ist dankbar, dass wir an dieser Veranstaltung teilnehmen durften und freut sich auf eine langjĂ€hrige Zusammenarbeit mit der Bellahouston Academy!
Die Veranstaltung wurde (u.a.) aus Mitteln des AuswĂ€rtigen Amts gefördert und durch UK-German Connection unterstĂŒtzt. Die Logos wurden von der UK-German Connection zur Nutzung auf der Schulhomepage zur VerfĂŒgung gestellt.
Today we arrived in Poland with our German exchange group.
First we went by train to Hamburg. At the airport we had to wait for a long time, and everyone was really excited and couldnât wait for the week to start. The flight went pretty well. After we got our luggage, the Polish students were already waiting for us with homemade signs. The signs had our names on them and on the back there was another message. After we met the students it was already time to go to our host families.
My host family was super nice and they made a really nice dinner. After dinner my host sister and I had to bake something for the next day. The first day was really exhausting and I was happy to finally go to bed, but I can already tell that the exchange is going to be a great experience.

Today was our first day in Gdansk. We were divided into groups of 4-5 people to go on a rallye to see the sights of Oliwa. It was a fun activity and we for example climbed an observation tower and saw the whole city. After we finished the rallye we went back to one of the places we did visit before, it was the Oliwska cathedral, to listen to an organ concert. This organ was very special, because some decoration parts were able to move. For example stars were spinning. Later there were integration games and we even learned a Polish dance. For lunch we had a buffet of self made Polish food. In the afternoon each student had free time to spend with his our her host family. It was a nice day to start the trip.

Today was the third day of our exchange to Danzig! We Met at the school and went to a nearby trainstation! From there, we went around 1 hour to Malbrok. There we walked to the castle! The Malbrok Castle is the biggest stone castle in the world and you could not say any different! We went inside in small groups of 5 or 6 and had an audio guide and also some questions we needed to answer at the trip! We saw so many rooms for different occasions and also very interesting exibishions.
When we finished the tour we met again and drove back to Danzig! When we arrived it was time to go back in the families so some of us went to a restaurant to eat piroggi which is a typical polish food! It was delicious. When we finished, we went to a nearby city and a mole. We learned about a typical polish sweet and saw a sunset. Then we went on the mole and took stunning pictures of it! When we went back home, we were all exhausted but happy from the day! There is still so much to see at Danzig!

Today we met up with our whole exchange group in the GdaĆsk Old Town for a guided tour with our guide Magdalena Kosko. The Polish students already knew the Old Town and its history, so most of them went elsewhere.
We started our tour at the Golden Gate, where we quickly noticed that our guide had a great sense of humor. She led us past various sights such as the Town Hall, Neptuneâs Fountain, and several places along the river. Our final stop was St. Maryâs Church (Mariacki), where we saw the impressive 14-meter-tall astronomical clock in action.
After the presentation, we said goodbye to our tour guide and headed to our next destination, this time joined by most of our exchange partners: the Museum of the Second World War. There, we once again used audio guides to navigate the exhibitions and learned many details about the war and its connection to GdaĆsk.
After our visit, some of us were picked up, while others went shopping, and a few even attended a concert by the famous Polish singer-songwriter Dawid Kwiatkowski at the FORUM shopping mall.
In the end, it was a very long and exhausting day, and we all went home to recharge our energy for the days ahead.
We woke up at nearly 8am, and we`ve eaten breakfast together. After breakfast we had to meet our friends at a shopping mall, to go to a escape room together. It was a gameplay set in the victorian era in England. It was for our entire group a great experience to be in a escape room like that, especially because it was in a unique setting, while being one of the hardest rooms the local offered.
After that, we went to another mall, and while we were waiting for a cafe to open, we went for a ride in a minion styled vehicle for kids, and the staff member from the mall told us to get out and be more responsible for a couple of grown people đ (but we still had our fun).
When the cafe finally opened, we met up with another friend and went in to eat some desserts and play board games. We were sitting there and chatting for nearly three hours, and then we went to the main station SKM and headed to Puck. After some miscommunication with other people from the exchange, we`ve decided to drive in the group of us, Irenka and Iulia back to Gdansk and found a cozy Pierogarnia place. When we finished our meal we went to the Brzezno beach. It was already getting dark, but it was a magnificent experience to hang out at the beach and play cards this late. All in all, we were happy about the fact, that we spend our day together and had a splendid time. đ

A Perfect Family Sunday in GdaĆsk
Our Sunday in GdaĆsk was a day full of fun and relaxation. It started a little late, around 11 a.m., with a delicious breakfast that got us ready for the day.
Afterwards, our my exchange partner and me headed straight for the aquapark close to GdaĆsk. It was a special day because we met up with many other exchange students there, turning it into a big funny group. The aquapark was the perfect place for everyone to have a good time. We spent most of the day there, enjoying the different pools, slides, and water attractions.
When we were tired from all the swimming, we decided to grab some pizza together right there at the park. It was the perfect meal to refuel and relax after such an active day.
As the evening approached, we drove back home to rest for a bit. But the day wasn’t over yet! For a final bit of fun, my exchange partner and my went to McDonald’s to try the difference between the Polish and German version. It was a great to see the difference of the food and a great way to end our evening together before heading home.
By the time we got back, the sun had already set, and it was a perfect end to an unforgettable day.
22.9.
The day started at 8:15 a m when we met at the school and waited for our bus. While we were waiting, we took a nice group photo and enjoyed talking together. The bus came around 9:00 am and we left for the Stutthof concentration camp, arriving there about an hour later.
After a short break, we went to a hall for a workshop, where we talked about different parts of the Nazi time and life in the camps for about 45 minutes. After that, we took a guided walk around the site, looking at the historical area and learning more about its history.
In the end we met again for a short discussion to share our thoughts and feelings. We were all agreed that what happened there was very touching and truly awful and must never be forgotten. The visit was both emotional and informative, giving us important insight into this dark part of history.
23.9.
Today was already the sixth and last day of our exchange in GdaĆsk.
In the morning, we met at school at 8:45 and left by bus at 9:00. The ride took about 1 hour and 25 minutes. There was a bit of traffic, but it was okay.
We arrived in Ćeba around 10:25. The weather was not so nice at first â it was windy, rainy, and about 16°C. At 10:40, we took three electric shuttle cars to the dunes. On the way, it started to rain and even hail a little bit. Luckily, when we arrived and started to climb the dunes, the weather became better. It was sunnier and also a bit warmer.
We climbed up the dunes and had a lot of fun there. Some of us jumped or rolled down the dunes, which was very fun.
After that, we walked down to the beach. We had a small picnic, and some of us put our feet into the water, even though it was really cold. The sky was cloudy again, but the atmosphere was very nice.
Then it started to rain heavily, and we continued walking along the beach for about 40 minutes until we reached an old rocket launch site. Some students even walked barefoot through the wet sand.
After the long walk, we took the electric shuttles back to the parking lot. Before going home, we also climbed up a viewing tower. From the top, we could see the sea, the forest, and a little bit of the dunes. The weather was changing all the time â sometimes sun, sometimes clouds. We even saw a rainbow!
At around 14:00, we left Ćeba and went back to GdaĆsk by bus. Some students got off earlier because it was closer to their host families. The rest of us arrived at the school around 15:40.
In the evening, everyone spent time with their host families, enjoyed the last moments of this amazing week, and packed their suitcases for the journey home.
24.9.
The day of departure
At some point of the day leaving had to come, because even the best time ends one day. The plan was to meet at 9:00 at the airport, flight at 12:20 and then go by train to Bremerhaven.
At 9:05 we made it and we were all in the big airport hall of GdaĆsk airport. After that, we Germans and our Polish exchange partners were invited by the teachers into a rented airport lounge. There we played Kahoot! (an online quiz game), danced and sang karaoke. After the singing we gave away our luggage and then it was time. We had to say goodbye, not yet to GdaĆsk but to our exchange partners. This part was the hardest, even if we would see each other again soon, everyone was sad. After the security check everyone walked around until we met again at 12:30 at the gate.
At 12:55 we took off in GdaĆsk, and after 1 hour and 5 minutes we landed in Hamburg at 14:00. When we arrived, we had to hurry to catch the S-Bahn to the main station. Luckily, our luggage came very quickly, so we did not lose time and could get into the S-Bahn. At 14:45 we were already on the way to Hamburg main station. There we still had 20 minutes to wait until our train came, so we could relax a little bit after the flight.
Just like on our journey to Poland, we first took the train to Buxtehude and then continued to Bremerhaven. The ride was calm, and many of us talked about the last week. It was hard to say goodbye, but we were also glad because our families were waiting for us at home.
P.S.: We had wonderful seven days in Poland. Once again, many thanks to our Polish friends, we do not know how we will ever be able to top this.
ERASMUS +-Projekt zu unserer Partnerstadt in Frankreich
Im Mai 2025 hat zum dritten Mal der SchĂŒleraustausch mit unserer Partnerschule in Frankreich stattgefunden, diesmal unter der Leitung von Frau HĂŒllen und Herrn Cherkaoui. Je 14 SchĂŒlerinnen und SchĂŒler aus Cherbourg und Bremerhaven haben sich gegenseitig besucht, eine Woche in ihrer Gastfamilie gelebt, ihre Fremdsprachkenntnisse vertieft und viel SpaĂ gehabt. NatĂŒrlich haben wir auch gemeinsam an unseren Projekten gearbeitet, die durch ERASMUS+ gefördert wurden.
Der Besuch in Bremerhaven (12.-17.5.2025) zum Thema ânachhaltige Entwicklungâ hat uns z.B. ins Klimahaus, ins Alfred-Wegener-Institut und ins Nationalparkhaus Wattenmeer gefĂŒhrt.
Kurz vor den Sommerferien haben wir dann in der Schule unsere Fotos ausgestellt â nach Farben sortiert unter den bunten Regenschirmen, die Frau Tobias extra fĂŒr uns hergestellt hatte. Merci beaucoup, Madame Tobias! Unsere Ergebnisse sind unter den folgenden Links genauer zu sehen: black, blue, brown, green, red, white, yellow.
SchĂŒlerinnen und SchĂŒler der 7a, 7b, 7d, 8a, 8d mit Frau HĂŒllen und Herrn Cherkaoui
Zum dritten Mal konnte das vom pĂ€dagogischen Austauschdienst geförderte Deutschlernprogramm Deutschland Plus am Lloyd Gymnasium stattfinden und nach einer britischen Gruppe 2023 und einer vietnamesischen Gruppe 2024 war dieses Jahr vom 11.06. – 26.06.2025 eine amerikanische Gruppe zu Gast. Diese bestand aus 12 SchĂŒlerinnen und SchĂŒlern und einer Begleitlehrkraft, die alle aus verschiedenen amerikanischen Staaten kommen: Washington, Kalifornien, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, Indiana, Georgia, New Mexico, Arkansas, Florida und Pennsylvania. Alle GĂ€ste sprachen bereits Deutsch auf mindestens dem B1 Level und sie konnten nun durch den Deutschunterricht am Lloyd Gymnasium und vor allem auch durch das Leben in den Gastfamilien, wo sie sich sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt haben, ihre Kenntnisse erweitern. Dabei sind auch viele Freundschaften mit den deutschen SchĂŒlerinnen und SchĂŒlern entstanden, die sich so liebevoll und zuverlĂ€ssig um das Wohlergehen der GĂ€ste gekĂŒmmert haben. Beim Abschied am Hauptbahnhof ist deshalb auch die ein oder andere TrĂ€ne geflossen, insbesondere bei dem neu gebildeten PĂ€rchen, das sich verstĂ€ndlicherweise nur schweren Herzens voneinander verabschieden konnte.
Auch kulturell hatte diese transatlantische Begegnung viel zu bieten. Zum einen wurden gemeinsam mit den deutschen SchĂŒler*innen Exkursionen nach Bremen (Untergrundtour und Universum), Wremen (Wattwanderung) und zum Auswandererhaus unternommen, wo sich einige auf den Spuren ihrer Vorfahren begaben.
Beim Elefanten im Bremer Nelson-Mandela-ParkIm Wremer Wattenmeer
Ein weiteres Highlight war auch der Besuch eines Sinfoniekonzerts am Stadttheater Bremerhaven. Dort leitete uns der TheaterpÀdagoge Herr Feuchte an einem anderen Tag auch hinter die Kulissen und durch die Hallen, was die Amerikaner nicht nur einmal zum Staunen brachte.
Im Malsaal des Stadttheaters
Beim gemeinsamen Abschiedsabend 2 Tage vor Abreise konnten nochmal alle Gastfamilien und GĂ€ste zusammenkommen, um die schöne, aber auch sehr schnell vorangeschrittene Zeit, bei leckerem Essen und den tollen Ărtlichkeiten der AFZ-Villa zu genieĂen. Dabei hoben die Gastfamilien die guten Deutschkenntnisse der GĂ€ste hervor und unterhielten sich darĂŒber, was sie alles privat noch unternommen haben und wie einige bereits schon PlĂ€ne zum privaten Gegenbesuch geschmiedet haben.
Alles in allem war das Deutschland Plus Programm auch dieses Jahr wieder ein voller Erfolg und Amerika ist dabei Bremerhaven ein StĂŒck nĂ€her gekommen, so wie es Elvis sicherlich begrĂŒĂt hĂ€tte!
Wir wĂŒnschen unseren GĂ€sten noch eine gute Zeit beim Stadtaufenthalt in Berlin und im Anschluss daran eine möglichst reibungslose Heimkehr in die USA.
Im Rahmen des Deutschland Plus Programms war es wieder soweit: Auch dieses Jahr durften wir eine auslĂ€ndische Gruppe an unserer Schule begrĂŒĂen und dieses Mal hatten die GĂ€ste, 12 SchĂŒlerinnen und SchĂŒler sowie 2 Lehrerinnen, eine sehr weite Reise aus dem sĂŒdostasiatischen Vietnam auf sich genommen.
Die Gruppe hat in der Zeit vom 14.08. – 29.08.2024 viel von Bremerhaven kennengelernt und dabei auch die eigenen Deutschkenntnisse im Deutschunterricht erweitert. So waren sie u.a. auf Exkursion im Auswandererhaus, dem Alfred-Wegener-Institut, in der Hochschule, im Wattenmeer oder auch auf einer StadtfĂŒhrung in Bremen und zumeist zeigte sich das Wetter zum GlĂŒck von seiner besten Seite. Als kulinarisches Highlight durfte fĂŒr die GĂ€ste natĂŒrlich die Bratwurst oder das Schnitzel bei den maritimen Tagen nicht fehlen.
FĂŒr die teilnehmenden deutschen SchĂŒlerinnen und SchĂŒler aus dem 9. Jahrgang sowie der Oberstufe, welche die GĂ€ste in dieser Zeit in ihren Familien aufnahmen, war es eine interessante Erfahrung, den Vietnamesen die eigene Heimat ein StĂŒck nĂ€her zu bringen. Dabei haben sie und ihre Familien sich stets um das Wohlbefinden der GĂ€ste gekĂŒmmert und bei einigen ist sogar eine Freundschaft entstanden. Ohne die Gastfamilien, die zum Teil auch Kolleginnen des Lloyd Gymnasiums bildeten, wĂ€re das Programm nicht zu Stande gekommen und deswegen gebĂŒhrt ihnen ein groĂer Dank!
Einen schönen Abschluss bildete die Abschiedsveranstaltung am vorletzten Abend, bei dem die GĂ€ste vietnamesische Gerichte, wie FrĂŒhlings- und Sommerrollen sowie Bratreis, zubereiteten und damit die Gastfamilien verköstigten. Die Lehrerinnen Ngan und Thu planen bereits in der Zukunft nach Bremerhaven zurĂŒckzukehren, denn ihnen hat die Zeit in Bremerhaven besonders gut gefallen. Auch die Schulleitung war am Ende begeistert von den Fortschritten, welche die vietnamesischen SchĂŒlerinnen und SchĂŒler in ihren Deutschkenntnissen gemacht haben.
Am Morgen des 29. August fuhr die Gruppe noch fĂŒr ein paar Tage nach Bonn, bevor sie dann am 02.09. von Berlin aus abflog und am 03.09. wieder am Heimatflughafen in Hanoi ankam.
Wir wĂŒnschen den GĂ€sten viele bleibende EindrĂŒcke und hoffen auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen!
Dieses Jahr haben wir gemeinsam an einem 5-tĂ€gigen Erasmus-Projekt mit unserer Partnerstadt Cherbourg in Frankreich teilgenommen. Dabei handelte es sich um einen Austausch mit den SchĂŒlerinnen und SchĂŒler der CollĂšge Bucaille-Charcot. Die Hafenstadt Cherbourg liegt an der KĂŒste im Norden von Frankreich, in der Region Normandie ca. 15 Stunden von Bremerhaven entfernt. Obwohl es viele Unterschiede zwischen unseren Kulturen gibt, konnten wir wiederum auch Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den beiden StĂ€dten finden, wie bspw. die Erhaltung von alten GebĂ€uden, die Errichtung von historischen Monumenten, aber auch das regnerische Wetter. In Bremerhaven arbeiteten wir zusammen zum Thema ,,Sustainable development„. Wir konnten unseren Austauschpartner*innen ein Einblick in die vielfĂ€ltigen SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten Bremerhavens geben, die unsere Kenntnisse ĂŒber die Umwelt erweiterten und zu einem Fortschritt in unserem Projekt beitrugen. WĂ€hrend ihrem Aufenthalt lernten wir viel ĂŒber uns gegenseitig, da sie die Chance hatten, in den deutschen Alltag einzutauchen, so dass wir uns schon auf die 1 Monat spĂ€tere Hinfahrt noch mehr freuten.
Im RĂŒckblick können wir sagen, dass ein SchĂŒleraustausch nach Cherbourg auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert ist und fĂŒr uns fĂŒr immer als ein unvergessliches Erlebnis als Erinnerung bleibt. Es öffnete uns eine TĂŒr von Möglichkeiten, z.B. neue Kontakte auĂerhalb Deutschlands zu knĂŒpfen, Sprachbarrieren im Englischen und Französischen zu ĂŒberwinden und unsere SelbststĂ€ndigkeit im Ausland in Probe zu stellen. Wir sind dabei zuversichtlich, dass unsere Freundschaften in Cherbourg auch in der Zukunft erhalten bleiben und wĂŒrden jedem weiterempfehlen an so einem Austausch teilzunehmen.
