More than 60 school pupils met at Europa-Park to complete an educational project carried out over the course of the whole academic year as part of a cross-border cooperation agreement reached with the Académie de Strasbourg.

29 pupils from the Collège de Kochersberg in Truchtersheim and 30 from the Rotteck grammar school in Freiburg alternated between remote exchanges via the eTwining platform and several in-person meetings, during which they delved into onomatopoeia, i.e. painting pictures with the sounds of both languages, and staged small sketches. During the whole joint project, great advances were made in mastering the language of the neighbour country, in broadening digital skills, in learning independence, the development of togetherness and the ability to cooperate between the students.

The joint excursion to Europa-Park allowed the young people to make the sounds they’d found resonate in a rally around the park, coordinated educationally by the Académie de Strasbourg.

Michael Mack was happy about this enormous opportunity to develop the linguistic competencies of young people creatively and to awaken their curiosity as to their neighbour’s culture and otherness at the same time
