other information

Students write an email to another student in a differrent country. These students follow the same training as the participants abroad. The first group (the senders) write about their subjects, their experiences at their training, their internships, their opinion on the training, etcetera. The second group (the recipients of the email) answers the first group and writes about their own expériences, their subjects, etcetera. This can be a build-up to more email exchanges, they can go in-depth by having a closer look at the similarities, the differences and why some things are different and some aren’t.
