Exchange program 2026 Netherlands

On February 1, we started the exchange by picking up the Dutch students at the train station. The next day, we showed them around our school and then headed to the city centre. We worked on our presentations about the differences between the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.Creative activities such as Cooking, Pottery, Art and PE were also part of the program. On the last day, we all had lunch together at a restaurant near our school.

About a month later, we flew to the Netherlands. On the first full day, they showed us their school, and in the afternoon we went sightseeing. We visited several museums, all of which were very interesting. We also spent time at the beach, which was beautiful. On the last day, we presented our projects and enjoyed a pancake lunch together.

For me, it was a wonderful experience, and I think it helped me speak more confidently.

Norimberk

Ich war im Advent in Deutschland. Wir waren in Nürnberg. Dort haben wir Christkindelmarkt besucht. Der Weihnachtsmarkt war sehr schön. Ich habe mir einen kleinen Holzlöffel gekauft. Ich habe auch Magneten gekauft. Ich habe mir sonst vor allem Essen gekauft. Die Stände hatten viele leckere Sachen. Wir waren auch auf der Burg. Die Burg war groß und hatte eine tolle Aussicht auf die Stadt. Außerdem haben wir eine Fabrik für Lebkuchen besucht. Dort konnten wir sehen, wie Lebkuchen gemacht werden. Es hat gut gerochen. 

Dann waren wir auch in Rothenburg. Rothenburg ist eine sehr schöne alte Stadt.  Noch haben wir Kloster Weltenburg besucht. Das Kloster war ruhig und interessant. 

 Mir hat der Ausflug sehr gefallen. Der Ausflug war super. Ich wäre gerne noch länger dort bleiben.

England (Ilfracombe) and Belgium (Bruggy)

On the first day, we left the Czech Republic. It was a noisy night. In the morning, we visited Bruggy in Belgium. We spent one night in France and in the morning, we took a bus to Stonehenge. We took some beautiful pictures. After that we headed off to our host families.

In the morning, we had school and after school we went to the Milky Way Adventure Park. It was a lot of fun. The next day we had school again and after school we visited a town called Clovelly where we bought some souvenirs. After that we got onto the bus again and we went to a town called Barnstaple. It was a very busy town with a lot of shops. In the evening, we went back to Ilfracombe to our host families.

The sixth day we went to school for the last time. After school we went to a national park called Exmoor. After that we visited a beautiful port Lynmouth from where we travelled through a steep cable car to Lynton. From there we went for a walk in the Valley of Rocks. It was really high but really fun. We also saw a goat.

The next day we went to London. London was very beautiful and there were many tourists. We saw the Big Ben, the London Eye, Chinatown and so many other things. In the evening, we took off back to Prague, and we were in Prague in the afternoon the next day.

 It was the best trip ever!

Exchange programme in Holland

On February 2. the Dutch students arrived at the train station and the week began.

We did a tour around the center of Prague and had a ton of free time to show them stuff we didn´t have time to see with the class. Out of the week we spent two days in school. First we did presentations with our Exchange student comparing things here in Czechia and in the Netherlands. The second day in school, we had fun lessons like art, cooking, pottery and P.E. On Thursday everyone had diner together and on Friday they took the train back to the Netherlands.

 Even though I had fun i was really tired after because the whole week you need to plan what you can do when you have free time and over all you are responsible for the Exchange student. By the end of March we were flying to spend a week there. Their program was much more about free time and i would say it wasn´t as organized as ours was but i still liked it. We went to the beach and visited Amsterdam. We were staying in a town named Leiden and it was really nice, the houses were so different from the ones in Prague. After a week we flew back, the whole experience was great, I even got to know some of the Czech students from other classes that I didn´t talk to before. The difficult part is communication, learning English in school is very different from talking in English with someone who can´t understand Czech, so I’m glad I could try it out
