Study trip: Leuven
Now and then the school arranges study trips for the different classes in Upper secondary. This year each class (Gym 1,2 and 3) went to a different town or city, in Belgium, for a day. In each city the students got to learn about the place and go see important places as well as learn how to get there. Since I wasn't accompanying the Gym 1 students on their trip, to Leuven, I asked a student in Gym 1 to help me write a summary of their study trip.
On the 9th September, 2011, all of us in Gym 1 went to Leuven. It is famous for their university and its wonderful environment. We all met at the train station in Waterloo. We travelled by train to learn how the train system works in Belgium. Once there, it was time to visit Stella Artois, which has its brewery there. We walked around and saw how beer is produced and how it is packaged. It was very interesting because beer is very big in Belgian culture.
After the visit to the brewery we got some lunch money and had lunch. Then we had presentations that we had prepared in social studies. We were divided into small groups where we presented Leuvens church, library, university, great buildings and statues. Then it was time to return home and we walked towards the train station. All in all, the trip was fun. The highlight was the brewery because I’ve never experienced anything like it. Despite this we had to walk very much, but so we discovered Leuven more.
