Kalkan - Butzbath, Germany Student Exchange Program |
A student
exchange program was organized by Kalkander between the
secondary schools of Kalkan and
Butzbach, Germany (sister cities) at the end of
September 2005 for one week. The German students
visited Kalkan in the summer of 2004. The Kalkan
students attended classes at a Butzbach secondary school
and learned about German culture through daily trips to
museums, parks, towns and various sights. Flights
were provided by Sun Express and transportation and
various expenses were organized and sponsored by
Kalkander through money raised by selling donated items
at our jumble sales in Kalkan.
