VIS students have embarked on an educational tour across Europe last week! Their journey began in Berlin, Germany, where students explored the history of the Cold War, Germany's path toward democratization, and the role of education and civic institutions in contemporary Europe. Over two days, students visited historic sites and engaged with educators and community members.
On September 29, students began their day at the Berlin Wall Memorial, where they learned about the division of Berlin and the human experiences behind the city’s Cold War history. They then joined a guided tour of the Chapel of Reconciliation with Ms. Ute Zimmermann, followed by a visit to the community garden. In the afternoon, they visited the Dalton-Gymnasium Potsdam, where they met Principal Dörte Schubert and learned more about education in Germany.
On September 30, students learned about European governance and education. They visited the German Bundestag and Brandenburg Gate, before travelling to the John F. Kennedy School. The visit was joined by Ambassador Ku, giving students with another opportunity to learn through direct exchange with educators and members of the diplomatic community.


以下是 G10 Jacky Ma 的隨筆分享:
Below is a short write-up from G10 Jacky Ma:
Today, we visited Germany’s congress in a historical building, and after hearing about the history behind it, I was pretty shocked because there were many details I would never notice just by looking at the building. Later, we went to the John F. Kennedy School, and I was surprised by how big the campus was and how much it felt like an American high school from movies; I also thought it was fun that students each represented a country, debated a topic, and voted, and everyone there was really outgoing and friendly.
