Dear Students,

First of all I would like to send you kind greetings from Mons, the European Capital of Culture 2015.

I’m delighted to hear that an exchange was organized with European students for your project Elvis. These exchanges enable us to know one another better but it also strengthens the European feeling. We share the same values, the same cultural and historical heritage and our destiny is the same. And it’s you, the adults of tomorrow, that will make of Europe a dynamic, generous and creative continent.

I wish you all the best in your education.

Kind regards,

Elio Di Rupo

Mayor of Mons, Belgium

This school partnership was founded to enable us to work together in a sustainable way. In 2009 we started with a ‘contract’ for 5 years, which was reconfirmed in 2014. In 2019 we continued for another 5 years.

Our goal is to educate our students to become global citizens. We do this by teaching them the necessary skills, but also by allowing them to take their global citizenship education in their own hands; enabling them to do their own research, quite often from literature and media. However, in orther cases student host fellow students from abroad or they go to places themselves, gaining the skills they need to live, study and work abroad by communicating and working together with other students.
