The International Summer School was funded by the third-party project "FL2@Int'lFlex - Research-based Teaching and Learning in an International Context Project" to support the internationalisation of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam through cooperation with international partners.
It was very nice to start with a tour of the city, the surroundings, and the green spaces to get inspired by what you see in the streets. [...] Working with students from another school in another language was really cool!
Working with the German students was a great experience! Since I don't speak English very well it was really good to mix German and French to speak English together [...].
