Global Connect Program

A group of students of NPS International School visited Germany for an educational cum cultural exchange program from 3rd June to 16th June. Only two schools from India had this privilege of getting invite from Mr. Krause on behalf of German Government. It was a pro¬found learning experience for the students as they had an opportunity to learn a great deal about German culture, language as well as their food habits and life¬style. The students stayed with different host families and received their genuine hospitality, infact the hosts went out of the way to make the students feel at home. Eventually, the students got so attached to them, that they shed heartfelt tears at the time of departing. Dr. Urlike Weisenbora, the coordinator of this program arranged the itinerary for the students to visit many interesting places of historical importance, tourist attractions and local interest. The students visited the host school Phillip Matthaus Hahn Gymnasium and attended lessons in classrooms. They worked productively with German students on a project. The highlight of the visit is the ’Indian German Evening’ where the Indian students presented a cultural extravaganza of traditional dances and songs. German counter-parts also presented a very colourful and entertaining program in this special evening.
