Across Borders: Luxembourgish Students Discover Sweden 

During an interview with Viviane–one of the Luxembourgish teachers, she mentioned that she was very impressed by the brand-new school by how beautiful it is. She was asked to join this project by her colleagueas she works with their school’snewspaper.It´s her first time being here, and she would like to come back even though there is no future trip planned yet.Even though it´s her first time here, she foundthe people to bevery nice and polite and is pleasantly surprised by the nature here. She also mentioned that she appreciates the Swedish architecture.  

Sarah – a student from Luxembourg says thatthe school is very modern and new compared to the Luxembourgish school.She´s looking forward to participating to the workshops and socialize with the Swedish students. During those days, they are going to write an article for the school newspaper and take some photos together. She added that she had never been here before and wanted to see how the Swedish school system is, as a student that enjoys studying internationally. Sarah explains that although the weather is similar to Luxembourg, it is still very cold and that Enköping is rural. 

We also interviewed a Swedish student to know his point of view. Isak thinks that it’s really nice and interesting to see how the Luxembourgish school system is and was even surprised by how good their English is.He says that he wouldusually like to visit Luxembourg if that chance was given to him butunfortunately, he graduates in a month and will not have time to do so. 

This short exchange will offer a meaningful opportunity for students from both countries to learn from each other, discover new perspective and experience different educational environments.
