Fanny en Inger uit Malmö in Utrecht




We would like to thank you all for making our visit in Utrecht such a pleasant and also learning experience! All of you were so friendly and you took so good care of us. We also felt that the hole visit was so well planned and the mix between all the people we met and all the places we visited was so well balanced.


After our home-coming we have been giving our trip a lot of thought and we have also been comparing our two countries educational systems with each other. We hace experienced both similarities and differencies. For example, we found that the ambition to teach children dutch at an early age and the methods that the teachers use seem very succcesful, but we think that is it important for a child to also keep it´s maternal learning language. A project that seems useful to us is the Peaceable school and we have aleready spoken to our headmasters about this program. Perhaps this will be something to use in our city?

Utrecht must be one of the most beautiful citys in Europe! We loved the city centre with it´s canals and old houses and we will be sure to recommend Utrecht to anyone who is visiting Holland! You are very welcome to contact us if you ever visit Malmö. We will show you around!

Again - thank you so much!
Fanny and Inger
