WITTMUND


On 14th of May, we travelled
to Germany to participate in the committee Europe. Every
year students from different nationalities gather around in
one country, in this case Germany, to spend some days in
family, making cooperating activities and taking advantage from
English.
We went by plane from Valencia to Dusseldorf and then we
took several trains until we arrived to Wittmund,where the families picked us up.
The next three days we spent them with our families and at
school doing workshops like: soccer, cooking, fashion and
dance. The last day, on Saturday, we made a parade
through all the town with the flags of the different countries.
Sunday morning we said goodbye to our families, we took a

train and we went to Cologne where we stayed one night
in a hostel in the city centre. There we visited several things
like the cathedral and the chocolate factory.
We had a great time, some of us have been very good with
our families (some not) and we have met lots of people
from the different schools.
