Our School Trip to Strasbourg

This trip to Strasbourg was very enriching. Indeed during this journey we visited a lot of places like the European Parliament, Strasbourg …

Let us begin with the Parliament in which we were able to attend a debate between Members of Parliament. It was a very interesting moment in spite of being tired from the journey and the difficulty to understand the debate.

In the European parliament we were able to spend a moment with Malika Benarab Attou during which the deputy answered the questions that we asked on the role of the parliament and on Europe. Another person gave us as a conference on the European parliament and the role which it plays at the European level. It was a very enriching experience.

Before this visit to the Parliament we enjoyed a boat trip and we visited Strasbourg. We sailed down the Rhine and a recorded commentary explained the story of Strasbourg, European city.

In the evening we went to a Youth Hostel, it was a charming place in which there were not only French people but foreigners and it helped us to better understand the culture of other countries and helped us to keep in mind the subject of our COMENIUS project; Europe.

The next day, we visited the old Strasbourg, but this time it was with a guide. Even there she told us about the history of Strasbourg, with regard to the war and to its status as French but also German city. We appreciated a lot these moments which helped us to understand better places where we were.

Then we finished our stay with the visit to the Kronenbourg brewery. This brewery is one of the biggest producers of beer. We learnt during this visit how beer is made and it was interesting.
