Foreign Exchange Students Give Presentations On European Culture

EVERGREEN PARK, IL - Two foreign exchange students, Amelie, from Germany, and Meda, from Lithuania, gave presentations to students in the Evergreen Park Community High School International Club after school on Wednesday.

They both spoke about their country, culture, and schools and had good conversations with students about their lives as high schoolers in Europe and how it compares to being a high schooler in the United States.

"It was a great opportunity for our students to hear first hand experiences from students their age from different countries," Veronica Tarbhai, the International Club's faculty sponsor and an EPCHS school counselor, said.

Amelie and Meda also presented to several social studies classes throughout the day.

"They had wonderful presentations and we are so grateful they were able to share their stories with us!" Tarbhai said.
