SINT MAARTEN (SOUTH REWARD) - From Sunday October the 16th till Friday October the 21st, 12 students and three teachers from a high school in Ahaus/Germany visited the VWO 4 class of Milton Peters College (MPC) for a language exchange project, SVOBE Innovation Coordinator Saskia Kliphuis said in a press statement on Tuesday.
The students from the Anne Frank Realschule either have Dutch or French as foreign language and the week was filled cultural exchange classes and hands-on language exercises, such as a French/English scavenger hunt in Marigot and a language village French and Dutch at MPC.
Other more inter-cultural activities consisted of a geography/SXM culture presentation by VWO 6 students, afro dance, and soca class, playing instruments on the beat of the German national anthem, history of the Caribbean and a history escape room and learning to make Johnny cakes and chicken wings.
