The
Scientific and European classes went on a trip to Paris and Brussels
during five days. The main goal of this trip was to learn about the
roles of the European Union and also about the topics of immigration and
colonization worldwide.
On the first day, when we arrived in Paris, we visited the Drancy museum which explains how the concentration camps worked and we met an former prisoner who told us about his experience in Drancy.
Then,
on the next day, we went to the International Center of Immigration
which taught us the causes and the consequences of immigrations around
the world. In the afternoon, our teachers intended to show us primitive
pieces of art from five continents in the famous museum of Quai Branly
which denounces colonization.
Then,
we headed towards Brussels on Tuesday night to discover the royal
museum of Central Africa, which is a museum a little bit like Quai
Branly. Both museums allowed us to understand the process of
colonization and decolonization.
In
the afternoon, our teachers allowed us to visit the city center of
Brussels before visiting the scientific museum which was a funny
experience !
In
the context of the European Union, on Thursday, we visited the European
Parliament which was a great experience for us. We attended a
parliamentary session. Now we know a little bit more about the European
Union which is something very important to understand.
On
the last afternoon, we visited the ancient wealthy neighbourhoods of
Brussels which were really beautiful. In the evening, our teachers
showed us a very big beer-pub called “Delirium” which serves more than
2,000 different beers !
On the last day we came back home by bus.
This
trip to Paris and Brussels was something very interesting in particular
on a cultural level as we have discovered many things. We all shared a
wonderful and enriching experience.
