The
four cities and the surroundings offer a nearly unlimited variety
of leisure activities, which our students might undertake by
themselves. We offer leisure activities as well and organise
on a regular basis:
•
dinners, which enable teachers and students to get to know each
other better
•
guided visits in History of Art
•
film evenings at school
•
day and half-day excursions
•
visit to wine cellars
Every
month our schools distribute their own calendar of cultural
activities. In this way participants will always be well informed
concerning exhibitions, concerts, films and other events. For
the weekends we hand out special leaflets for individual trips.
All students receive a written guide indicating active and passive
sporting activities and the secretary’s office can also
help with the organization of sporting activities.
