NULC Level 3 Travel and Tourism students organised the visit,
including arranging the trips and pulling together the daily itinerary as part
of their course studies.
Travel and Tourism student Abbie Bowler, aged 19 from Audley
said: “As part of the visit, we got to organise the trip to Birmingham, where
we visited the National Motorcycle Museum, and the trip to Liverpool, where we
visited the Merseyside Maritime Museum, Liverpool ONE and we also acted as tour
guides when visiting the Albert Dock.”
The French students, from the school ‘Lycee Pierre Caramino’ in
Egletons, in the Limousin region of
France, also participated in a range of fun and
educational activities, helping them to communicate in English with NULC
students who study Sport, Construction, Engineering and Public Services.
Ben Sproston, Curriculum Manager of Travel and Tourism,
Public Services and Accounting at NULC, said: “It’s really important for us as
a college to develop links on an international scale to support the Travel and
Tourism curriculum we offer. Staff and students who were involved in the visit
have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and we look forward to working with
staff and students from Lycee Pierre
Caramino again in the near future.”
Travel and Tourism student Patsy Hyland, aged 18 from Stone,
said: “Organising the visit has helped me to improve my organisational and time
keeping skills which will further help me in my studies to become a teacher in
the subject.”
