German exchange for Manx sixth formers

Exchange programme relaunched after four years

Students from two Isle of Man high schools will have the chance to carry out a work experience with a difference later this month - it'll be in Germany.

It's part of an exchange programme between Ramsey Grammar School and Ballakermeen High School and a school in northern Bavaria.

Sixth formers will spend a week in placements at a medical practice, theatre, and at the Univeristy of Bayreuth.

In July, Ramsey Grammar and Ballakermeen will host 12 German students who will have the opportunity to work in a variety of Manx industries - as well as getting a taste of the Island's culture and traditions.
