For American high school students from South Burlington High School, Vermont, USA

On behalf of Notch Above Tours, Burlington, VT, USA (www.notchabovetours.com)

This short trip was designed and organized as part of a school partnership with a high school in Hamelin.

The aim of the trip was to give the students the opportunity to get to know a little more about Germany.

A general city tour, a visit to the Reichstag and the Bernauer Strasse Wall memorial as well as a concert at the Berlin Philharmonics was part of the program at the request of the accompanying teachers.

There was also free time for the students to explore Berlin independently, according to their own interests.
