German Immersion Trip 2025

Written by Leo K, Year 10

Recently I went on a school immersion trip to Berlin and it was an amazing and unforgettable experience. During the trip, we visited many famous landmarks including the TV Tower, the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag building, each of which helped me learn about Germany’s history and culture. One of the most interesting moments was our visit to the Berlin wall, as it made the experience feel so meaningful. We also had the opportunity to try a wide range of traditional German food such as Currywurst, which was surprisingly delicious and very different from what I usually eat at home. As well as learning about Berlin, the trip allowed me to make friends for life and get to know people I had not spoken to much before. We went to the German school of our pen pals twice and also did activities with them in the centre of Berlin, including a scavenger hunt and a party on the last night. Overall, the Berlin immersion trip was an incredible opportunity that helped me gain new experiences, memories and a greater appreciation for another culture.
