Trip to the Netherlands

Here is what a student wrote about her experiences in the Netherlands:
Between the 7th and the 11th of February of 2010 a group of 10 students from our school along with two teachers, Mrs. Maria Loizou (Physics Teacher) and Mrs. Maria Panagiotou (Greek/History Teacher), and Mr. Chomatas, representative of the City Council of Limassol, visited the Netherlands and specifically a place called Noord-Brabant to attend a conference held by a European Lifelong Education Program called "SUPPORT Partnership and Participation for a Sustainable Tomorrow" which was titled "Youngsters in the driver's seat for local sustainable development".  The aim of the conference was to sensitize youngsters about their extremely important role in society as well as their perspective and substantial participation in rebuilding our society with the installation of viable conditions that serve sustainable development as the main purpose.
When we got there, we got separated into mixed groups of students from all over Europe.  Each group had to study a case and suggest solutions about it.  Through this process we acquired a lot of knowledge and we were given the opportunity to meet and get to know peers, exchange views as well as learn more about their cultures, lifestyles, way of thinking, customs and traditions!
