As our pupils are too young for a student exchange, we decided to send teddy bears on a holiday to explore foreign countries for them.
So Paulchen, the German teddy bear, will go to a class in Italy where the pupils will show him where and how they live. He will experience everyday life at school and in the families. After a few weeks the teddy bear will return to Germany with his diary which his Italian hosts will have filled with lots of photos and information (about school, family, traditions, food, hobbies, etc.).
The German class will have done the same with the Italian mascot.
Paulchen, the teddy bear, will travel to some more schools during this school term (England, Poland, ...).
