Introduction
Our future abroad?
The main topic of this exchange is: meeting peers of another country. Learning about
different cultures and traditions, learning about how life is in another country, how is life in
another school? It’s about working together and widening your view.
You will experience these things partially by traveling together, living in each other’s homes
and visiting each other’s schools.
But this exchange is also about our and your future: your future study, profession, your plans
and your future life. What do you want to do in your life, what are your ideals. And……how
can you reach these ideals??
As regards to this all we developed several assignments, all connected to the main topic of
our exchange project: Our future abroad?
For the next three years all the students in this project will do some research about studying
and working abroad.
You will make assignments about this subject. You’ll learn about your interests and the
possibilities in other countries.
The results of these assignments (posters, movies, pictures etc.) are being used in the end
of these three years and will be shown in an expo. This Expo will be held in the three
countries and visited by students, parents and everyone who is interested.
Lets do some research about studying abroad!

Assignment: Design the logo
Introduction:
Every good project has a logo. In this assignment we are going to create a logo for our
exchange project ‘Our future abroad?’.
Logo design is all around us. Logos serve as an instant reminder of a company or a product.
It seems easy but it is a great challenge as a designer to incorporating several ideologies of
a project into one single graphic.
Nowadays there are millions of logo’s in the market, and with that comes the challenge of
being different. How do you create something original that stands out in a sea of identities?
And how do we create something quickly with quality?
5 principles of logo design:
What makes a good logo? A good logo is original functional and shows a clear message.
There are five principles that you should follow to ensure this:
An effective logo is:
- Simple
- Memorable
- Timeless
- Versatile
- Appropriate

11. 11
Logo Examples
Some logos contain the name of the company; others contain an abbreviation or just a
symbol. In the next pictures you see some examples.

12. 12
Now it’s your turn!
You are going to design a logo for our exchange project ‘Our future abroad?’. You work in a
group and you follow the next steps. If it say’s ‘draw’ or ‘design’ you can choose if you want
to draw on paper or if you would like to use the computer.
1. Search for some nice logo examples: use them as an inspiration.
2. Decide together what idea the logo should communicate. (for example: the
international aspect, the future, cooperation, fun, positivity etc.)
3. Draw 20 different ideas. Try logo’s with different colors, symbols and fonts.
4. Decide together which logo’s are the best and try to combine some of the better
options into one logo. Draw 4 improved logo’s more detailed.
5. We vote with the whole group which logo is the best of our country. We vote again
when we are together with the three countries. The best logo wins and will be used
on our blog.
Good Luck!

Assignment: Create a motto
Introduction:
The importance of a motto or slogan for a project cannot be overstated. Choosing the right
motto can give a brand or project instant recognition.
If you want to design a motto you should review some mottos or slogans of major
companies and consider what makes each memorable or catchy. It gives you inspiration and
you can use these mottos as models when making a motto or slogan for your own.
You are going to create a motto that supports the logo that has been chosen by the group.
The best motto will be used on the blog.
Tips:
Use the following 5 tips to create a good motto or slogan.
1. Identification. A good slogan must stay consistent with the brand name either
obviously stated or strongly implied.
2. Memorable. Some of the best taglines or slogans are still being used today, even
though they were launched several years ago.
3. Beneficial. Reveal your purpose and benefits of the product/ project by sending a
message. Create a positive feeling.
4. Differentiation. You need to set yourself apart thru a creative and original motto or
slogan.
5. Keep it simple. Use proven words and short keywords. One word is usually not
enough.
Inspiration:
In the next pictures you find logo’s with their slogan. Perhaps you recognize some of them.
Use these examples as an inspiration.

14. 14
It’s your turn!
You are going to create a motto for our exchange project ‘Our future abroad?’. You will be
working in a group and you follow the next steps.
1. Search for some interesting motto/slogan examples: use them as an inspiration.
2. Decide together what idea the slogan should communicate. (for example: the
international aspect, the future, cooperation, fun, positivity etc.). Keep in mind that
it should fit with the logo that has been chosen.
3. Write together 5 different ideas.
4. Share these 5 ideas with another group and decide together which mottoes/
slogans are the best and try to combine some of the better options into one
motto/slogan.
5. We vote with the whole group which motto/slogan is the best. This motto wins and
will be used together with the logo on our blog.
Good Luck!

Assignment: Visit University Maastricht
1. Preparatory assignment:
Introduction:
We are going to visit the University of Maastricht. You get a guided tour around the campus
and there you will interview a student. You make a presentation about this visit. The
presentation should contain:
- Pictures of the University
- a written report about your experiences
- the interview with the students
You work together in groups of 4
Assignment in steps:
6. Do some research about the University of Maastricht so you already have some
background information about the University. It makes it easier to interview the
student.
7. Create a list of at least 20 questions you want to ask the student during the interview.
Make sure that you have a lot of questions. Keep the next things in mind:
a. Ask about their experiences in the Dutch school system
b. Ask about the choices they made
c. Ask them about the career plan
d. Ask about their studie: subjects, exams etc.
e. Ask about positive and negative experiences
f. Ask about student life in the city
BEWARE!!
g. Good questions are answered not only by yes or know. You have to make
sure that the student gives you lots of information
h. If you might think of other questions during the interview: feel free to ask them
8. Decide clearly what task each group member has. For example: someone does the
interview, somebody else records or films it, someone takes pictures, someone
makes notes during the tour etc.

16. 16
2. Final assignment:
Now it’s time to work on the finishing University assignment. Again, you work together in
your group of 4. We will use the best results in the final exposition, so it has to be of high
quality.
What are you going to do??
During your visit you have collected a lot of material about the University of
Maastricht (photo, film, interviews, flyers etc.).
With this collected material you have to make a promotion film for the University. Of
course the film has to give a positive impression of the University, her facilities and
the city of Maastricht herself.
Requirements:
- This film is made in a group of 4 or 5 students (mixed Dutch/French and
Dutch/Basque)
- lasting 3 till 4 minutes
- based on a selfmade filmscript
Content:
- Promotion: this film has to give an answer to the following questions:
1. Why Maastricht University??
2. Why Maastricht – City??
Result:
- the films are judged by the teachers
- the best three films are chosen to be shown at the exposition at the end of the
project.
- Humor and creativity will be extra rewarded
Lots of succes!!

Assignment: Design a poster
Introduction:
You are going to design a poster. You’ll work in groups of 4. The poster has to explain the
different school systems and make a comparison between them.
There are a few different types of posters. Your teacher will tell you which theme your group
has to make.
1. School system in the Basque Country
2. School system in the Netherlands
3. School system in France
4. Comparison school system in the Basque Country and the Netherlands
5. Comparison school system in the Basque Country and France
6. Comparison school system in France and the Netherlands
We use these posters in an exposition about Studying Abroad so the poster must be of a
high quality.
Tips:
Make sure you keep the following tips in mind when you create your poster:
- A good poster has a clear design
- The posters should be easy to read
- A poster should contain a scheme, pictures and a title
- Don’t use too much text: keep it short
- Use color
- The poster should be attractive: it must be fun to look at
- Use the logos of the project
There are some examples in the last pages of this assignment.
Now it’s your turn!
9. Do some research about your theme.
10. Search for some nice poster examples: use them as an inspiration. Use the words
‘poster’ and ‘information’ together in your search on google. You’ll get better
examples
11. Make 3 different sketches for your poster. Try different ways to present the
information. Decide together which one is the best.
12. Use Photoshop or Word to create a digital version of you poster.

Assignment: Picture Perfect
Photo assignment
You are a photographer today! You are going to make a unique portrait of the city
Maastricht. Every pair gets a different theme (see schedule on next page). This
theme has to be the inspiration for your photographs.
Select the 12 best photographs. Use the app photogrid to make 2 interesting grids.
Upload these in the Blog. You present them to the rest of the class on Thursday.
Tips and tricks:
 Be respectful. Always ask permission if you take a close-up picture of
someone else. Not everybody likes to be photographed.
 No selfies!!
 Zoom in and zoom out!
 Try to find different perspectives on the theme; in other words don’t
photograph the same thing over and over again. For example if you have
the theme “Love is in the air”, don’t take many photographs of hearts. Try to
be more creative.
 Take a lot of different pictures. In that way it will be easier to select 8 perfect
pictures afterwards
 Make sure that the pictures in your selection on Wednesday are as diverse
as possible.
