Year 9 trip to Berlin 2019

STAFF • Mr. Holdsworth (Trip Leader) – Assistant Head and school Educational Visits Coordinator • Mrs Sewell – Teaching School Administrator, former Administrator for Educational visits. • Mrs Jackson – Teacher of MFL – Fluent German speaker

Overview A notably safe and friendly city, with a superb public transport system, Berlin is much loved by school groups. With its powerful history, evocative landmarks and expressive style, Berlin offers an immensely rewarding and diverse learning experience. The city was the exciting heart of social and artistic culture until the Nazis decried the city as a haven of vice and introduced its radical regime. Witness the concentration camp destination for Berlin's Jewish population. See remnants of the Wall with contemporary funky graffiti and remember how Berlin was split in two. Despite serious bombing in WWII Berlin's famous landmarks have been rebuilt highlighting a peaceful optimistic future.
