WITTIANS LEARN THE DUTCH WAY
The Bilateral student exchange
saw a plethora of events wherein Wittians learnt the Dutch way of leading a school life with regular lessons wherein
they focused on the creative aspect of learning a concept or a topic.
The day for the Wittians began
early with lectures beginning at 8.30 a.m with French language wherein a
listening activity was conducted and the Dutch teacher was amazed to witness
our skillful and proficient French speakers.
Few students along with their
hosts were part of the Chemistry lesson which focused on Molecular structures
of Carbon and Hydrogen using Polymer models.
Wittians joined the art lecture
where the teachers directed them into making 3D collages and frames. The
activity was fun filled and exciting and Wittians whole heartedly participated.
English language lesson saw the
enthusiasm level of the Wittians rising as they came up with various creative
examples for Guerilla Advertising. This was lauded by the Dutch hosts. The
compliments were received warmly. Our Wittians were motivated enough and
readily agreed to attend a few more lectures.
Economics, Physics and Business
studies lessons were equally attended to and did win hearts of the Wittians.
After a long learning day the
students along with their hosts boarded a coach to Utrecht. Utrecht has been a
religious centre for centuries and is slowly gaining prominence as a tourist
destination. It houses the Iconic Dom Toren, a 14th century bell
tower with 465 steps. It is a must visit for every tourist. Wittians had their
lunch and then assembled near the Dom tower for the iconic climb an essential
part of tourist visit. The students were divided into groups of 2. The
boysalongwith 2 Indian teachers were the first to ascend the tower while the girls
along with their Dutch counterparts explored the city. Once the boys returned
from their climb the girls showed the same enthusiasm in climbing the tower
along with an Indian teacher and a Dutch teacher. The enthusiasm reached its
pinnacle once the students reached the top most part of the tower and could
behold a view right uptil Amsterdam at one end and Rotterdam at the other.
The day ended with the Wittians
moving with hosts for an early dinner. A day well spent with lots of learning
and memories galore.
