We are also very much into students` exchanges: We have been doing exchanges with Finland and Austria usually taking a group between 10 – 12 students accompanied by two teachers. We also have exchange partner schools from Scotland, Sardinia island and France. Special exchanges with the focus of Tourism and Catering were done with countries (Scotland and France) specialised in the same vocational fields. The focus of an exchange is the improvement of the foreign language (English German and Italian) and putting great emphasis on Cultural diversities.
