Today all delegations went to Amsterdam. In order to emphasize our theme; social inclusion, war and migration/ digital empathy, we visited the Anne Frank house. All students were very much impressed and we think that the theme social inclusion made more sense.
Our cultural goal was to show : De Dam, The Royal Palace, the canals and of course the windmills. All goals have been realized.

Frisian is the second official language in the Netherlands and only spoken in the Northern part of the Netherlands, in the province of Friesland. After the break students presented their story in scratch. The students’ contributions were amazing.
Then, after a week of hard work, of getting to know the Netherlands, its people, we came to an end, so all participants were thanked because of their contributions by Mrs. Voogd.
