There will also be some common debates about tolerance and cultural
differences.

Students will come every day at school and will have common activities. The
work language is English. One day / week they will go on a trip in order to
discover the country.

Sunday will be spent in the family in order to get know better a typical Danish/

school and talk about the exchange programme.

• An evaluation will be made for students in order to see what they had
learned, what is culture? How to deal with cultural differences? How to be
tolerant but not to give up at your own culture?

• An evaluation point will be made for the teachers too in order to see if this
kind of exchange activity helps students to be aware of the cultural
awareness capacity? Does it instigate the cultural curiosity? Does it help
