Program
What you see here is the program the students followed during the exchange week in the Netherlands. It was prepared by teachers from Castor college Marijke van Ommeren, Ari Smit and Jennifer de Groot. The other activities the students did on their own are excluded here, as they prepared those themselves. For example they went to the beach on Monday, went ice skating on Tuesday and they tried different dutch foods at a student’s house on Wednesday. Furthermore they went to an Italian restaurant on Thursday and finally, on Friday, they had a party at another student’s house!
