»Tracing our history« is the motto of our Franco-German youth exchange, which has been taking place here since Friday.

For the third time this year, we welcomed a group from our partner region Centre-Val de Loire, who are taking part in a seven-day youth exchange with us at EJBM together with a group from Saxony-Anhalt to mark the 20th anniversary of our partnership.

This time, the focus will be on the history of both regions. After various interactive workshops in which the young people learnt a lot about their own history as well as the history of the partner region, they visited the state parliament yesterday and had the opportunity to speak to two members of parliament. Today we are travelling on to the Marienborn Memorial and we are already very excited about our conversation with a contemporary witness.

Merci beaucoup to our partner organisation from France »La Ligue de l'Enseignement 36«, with whom we have held three of our four Franco-German encounters this year.
