The document outlines the schedule for a week-long visit by students participating in the Comenius exchange program. The week includes activities like sports competitions, school lessons with host students, cultural site visits to places like Aix-en-Provence and the geological reserve, and meals highlighting French cuisine. Reflections at the end of the week found that large group sizes prevented much student mixing, but participants generally felt the exchange helped improve language skills and cultural understanding while furthering the goals of the shared Comenius project on health and nutrition.

14. Because of students number, we’ve noticed differences in pupils
involvement and exchanges.
A big group prevents pupils to mix with other students, it acts as an entity.
Pupils managed to go beyond language gap, they used verbal and body
language.
They realized how important learning English was, and they felt more
confident in their communication skills.
Thanks to this week, they realized that food and health was a common goal
for all partners, they
understood that our activities from the beginning of school year were the
same in all countries.
They enjoyed sharing activities with foreigners
and discovering other cultures.

Our purpose was to include students in as many
activities as possible; we think we manage to do so.
We also tried to make you taste French gastronomy.
We organized our week respecting the project goal, we are
sorry if we couldn’t offer you more tourism activities.
