Preparing for Your Visit

To ensure the visit best meets your group’s needs, we kindly ask teachers to share in advance:

  • students’ language level
  • preferred themes or learning objectives
  • any specific questions students would like addressed during the visit

This allows us to tailor the content as closely as possible to your group’s specific needs.

Before the visit

To ensure that the workshop is a learning experience for everyone, we kindly ask you to prepare the workshops before hand in class.

For example, you may wish to review theme-related vocabulary in class or invite students to prepare questions beforehand about the topics that will be covered during the workshop.
