It was a perfect opportunity for14 students and 2 teachers to learn and grow during the
Student Exchange Programme at Roskilde Gymnasium, Denmark. The experience at
the school was an unforgettable one. This exchange programme gave the participants an
opportunity to know about the culture and the teaching techniques of a foreign country. It
has proved to be an effective platform for exchange of pedagogical practices. The school
has a huge campus surrounded by the beauty of nature. Not only the school but the
whole country is full of scenic beauty. I couldn’t take my eyes off them during the long
walks and the train travels. Roskilde Gymnasium had amazing things for us in their
classes on English, Election System, Danish and Team Building Activities. We also had
an opportunity to visit Copenhagen, Louisiana, Christiania and the beautiful ocean from
where we could almost see Sweden. The hospitality provided to our group cannot be
described in words. Each one from the group echoed the same voice- “I never felt that I
was in a foreign country”. The last day spent at Roskilde Gymnasium was heart rendering
and shall be treasured forever. During our stay, we spent beautiful moments which have
formed lifetime memories- ever vivid and heart-warming.
Finally after a long wait of 6 months on 5th May we all (14 students and 2 teachers) arrived at Copenhagen,
where we were warmly greeted by the well acquainted Ms. Birte and Mr. Karsten from Roskilde Gymnasium.
After that we went to Roskilde by train and met our partners at Roskilde station. The smile with which
they greeted us made the tiredness and fatigue of the long air travel disappear. Most of us spent our day
with our partners and the host families at their homes.
