25. Personal experience After the calendar project I received an E-Mail from the head of department of English in the German partner school. She thanked me for my effort and told me that it is very important to do such projects because they will stay in your mind and you will remember them even when you have left school!

I am sure they enjoyed it and are excited about getting to know the other culture and language more and more I am really happy to be one of the UK German Ambassadors, without the motivation I wouldn‘t have done all the projects Thank you very much! This programme is really excellent! Keep on doing it!
