At the end of January, we accepted a cordial invitation from our colleagues from Go! Antheneum Geraardsbergen. We participated in our first Erasmus program in Belgium, specifically in the small town of Geraardsbergen approximately an hour away from Brussels.
Our stay was unforgettable for the students, especially thanks to the combination of their open minds and high level of education.
Furthermore, the city of Geraardsbergen itself is a magical city, famous for its steep streets and legendary mattentaarten cakes.
The host families welcomed our children with great cordiality, which made them feel at home in Belgium.

In addition to new knowledge from the workshops, the students brought home precious friendships. Staying with host families allowed them to get to know the Belgian lifestyle first-hand and overcome language barriers in a natural way.
Creative activities, such as making T-shirts or sparkling bath bombs, relaxed the atmosphere and German lessons showed them that foreign languages can also be learned playfully.
A trip to Bruges, a visit to the VR Museum and the visit to the European Parliament in Brussels are all experiences they will remember for a long time.
We returned home full of inspiration and with a better overview of European culture.
