Etwinning, Nordplus and Comenius

Svea Does Germany!
Teacher Maria Agerkrans and a group of students have been in Berlin and Blankenburg (Hartz). This was the 6th of 7 visits in the Comenius project entitled: Communication as an Art.
7 countries gathered in Blankenburg to practice English, learn about each others cultures and about themselves. The theme was Communicating without words in art.
The trip started with the Iceland group coming to Malmoe for a night and then Iceland and Sweden flew down to Berlin for a day of sightseeing.
The trip was a major success and the students made many friends from various countries and the teachers had a blast too.
We are truly thankful for the opportunity and look forward to the last visit in Iceland in May!
