Studying foreign languages would not be effective without exploring cultures and countries, where the languages being studied are spoken. Young people naturally love meeting their peers despite the language barriers, which is a good basis for an exchange programme.
For many years we have been organising a French Exchange and we have established a strong relationship with the Lycée Notre Dame de Rezé in Nantes. We have recently established a Spanish exchange with Rivas-Luna Centro de Enseñanza in L’Eliana, Valencia which we hope will become a successful exchange too. Every year our students spend a week with the Spanish/French families and at a different time in the year the Spanish/French students come to Prague and enjoy the hospitality of our students’ families. Spanish/French and Czech students also sample the education that the other school provides as they attend some classes during their stay. Both the Spanish/French school and the ECP prepare interesting cultural programmes so that the exchange is a very enriching experience for all those involved.
