CRAFT connects with Germany through Food and Forest Systems

On Tuesday, November 14, 2023 we hosted visitors from the Bavarian region of Germany to set up an exchange between our CRAFT students and their English language students.

The exchange will take place next March with a focus on sharing our cultural and historical context of food and forest systems in each others' regions. Our newly formed partnership with the FOSBOS school in Ingolstadt, Germany will continue to expand our international learning experiences.

Colleen O'Connell has been pivotal in this work and has helped to cultivate this partnership. Mr. Smail thought CRAFT students were the perfect fit for this type of exchange. The teachers from Germany participated in our CRAFT professional learning at the national park and got to enjoy many delicious pizzas hand crafted by our teachers.

Students in our CRAFT classes helped prepare a local lunch for them at school and they enjoyed sitting in on a wide range of classes. CRAFT students spent their lunch and are time sharing their experiences and learning about what they might get to do when they go to Germany!

Thanks to all who hosted our German friends and made them feel at home here in our school. We look forward to visiting their region of the world and having them stay here with us.
