What do you know about student exchange? These days, student exchange is becoming extremely popular, especially for students.

Frau Sekunda, a German teacher at SMAN 15 SURABAYA, said that foreign exchange programs provide students with an opportunity to study in a different country and environment experiencing the history and culture of another country, as well as meeting new friends to enrich their personal development. International exchange programs are also effective to challenge students to develop a global perspective. SMAN 15 SURABAYA has been working with the German government since 2008.

On July to August, three students were chosen to represent SMAN 15 SURABAYA on a student exchange program to Germany. They were Ebenhaezer A. S., Callista M. A., and Eka Putri E.

It's such an unforgetable moments for them. Especially Callista, it was her dream from junior high to study overseas. She was desperate because she didn't see her name in students-who-pass list. Luckily, she got a free pass from Pemkot. She was thankful because her hard works was paid off.

"Our activity from Monday to Friday was learning Germany, and on weekends we were allowed to travel the city and knowing German deeper. For example, went to museum, etc." Said Callista.
