Farewell & Welcome back

Farewell meeting outgoing students Spring 2024

The new group of outgoing students are definitely ready for countdown….

Students are travelling abroad on different times depending the supposed arrival dates at their temporary destination after the Winter break.
Some students even are abroad already because an early semester start at the host university. Some of them were travelling this week and a smaller group of about 30 students for Spring 2024 in total were present to say goodbye for a while at the Farewell meeting partly combined with Welcome back of outgoing students today.

The meeting was meant to have contact again with the other students who go abroad as part of the international community within Fontys ICT. Students followed a workshop Intercultural Competences to be aware of cultural differences and to develop their competences during and after their stay abroad. 
We also said Welcome back to some already returned students after a semester abroad Fall 2023 shared great experiences in Korea and the US with the new group what to expect and how great this life experience will be. The meeting today was for practical matters too, answers on last questions to have sufficient information with them as luggage before they leave.

The stay abroad during will be a great period with a lot of new knowledge and experiences. Memories will be born!
We look forward to following their experiences during the upcoming semester.
