Indo German Exchange with Albert Einstein Gymnasium School, Germany

A group of 10 students and 2 teachers from Albert Einstein Gymnasium School, Stuttgart were at NMS on an exchange visit. The students aged 16-18, stayed at the school’s hostel and were here for 15 days. They attended classes and various workshops at the school. With the assistance of our teachers, they also worked on the projects that were assigned to them from their school. The topics were all based on India ( Significance of the Ganges, Gandhi and his contribution to the Indian Freedom struggle, the Joint Family System in India, BPO’s in India and so on) and the students were given practical and theoretical information on each topic. Some of our students hosted dinners for the Germans which they thoroughly enjoyed.

The German students also worked with the Nischay girls, teaching them poems and songs in English. The interaction between the NMS hostellers and Germans was filled with exchange of ideas and views and allowed both sides to reveal more about their respective countries, cultures and lifestyles. Many preconceived notions were broken and some were reinforced. This was our first exchange with a German school and was a great success- A true learning experience for both schools. The teachers of Albert Einstein were very keen on making this a yearly visit and were also looking forward to seeing our students in Germany.
