Different but yet so alike

Students at Estetiska skolan in Arvika received visits from schools in Citruénigo, Spain (IESO La Paz), Senones, France (Collège André Malraux) and Rövershagen, Germany (Europaschule) in September. Together the four schools run a Erasmus+ project “Students for understanding” and this time it was Sweden’s turn to host. It is not only the students themselves who have the chance to widen their horizon but also the Swedish host families. During the five days we presented the city of Arvika, its nature and culture ending with a big concert in church where we all sang songs from the four countries. What a success! The last evening the host families invited our guests to a huge Smörgåsbord. Even this goodbye was tearful.
