Each year, usually in March, the six partner schools all send student delegates to each other. This creates a multi-national working party of students in each of the six countries. These groups get to know each other and then work together on the various sub-projects during the week which they are together. The visiting students stay either with host families, or in the boarding house / internat attached to the host school.
EUROPEAN WEEK IN LANCASTER
6TH-13TH March 2004
ITINERARY
Dear Delegates and Hosts
Here is our draft itinerary for the week here. We very much look forward to your visit and hope that you will find the week interesting, enjoyable and fulfilling. We will arrange for all parties to be met at Manchester Airport and then introduce you to your hosts in Lancaster. Final details very soon - we still await some flight timings. However we hope that some parties will be prepared to wait a little time at Manchester Airport so that we can economically arrange the transport.
