We are going to Berlin!

More Than English will be in Berlin 30th October to 1st November 2016 at ‘ICEF Berlin’ arguably the world’s biggest and most prestigious education fair where schools, universities and education experts meet.

Summer school directors Claire Norwood and David Meddows will be meeting partners to exchange ideas and find new ways of working together to get the best outcomes for our students. Attending the event are education experts from 98 countries.

Claire Norwood, Director of Sales and Marketing, says: “What I love about working in international education is sharing ideas and experiences with other people from all over the world. It is always exciting.”

Citizens of the world

For young students 11-16, attending summer school at More Than English is the start of a wonderful journey. It’s where their love of foreign travel deepens. For many, it’s where they have their first experience of going abroad for total cultural and linguistic immersion on a programme designed for individuals. For all, it’s a journey that will give them a new perspective. As one Mexican parent said about her daughter’s experience on summer school this year: “it was so good for my daughter to realise that  in the end all teenagers have the same concerns and the same dreams no matter which part of the world they are from.”

Once we gain an international perspective, that’s a gift that stays with us for life. That is why David and Claire are very much looking forward to the start of their meetings in Berlin!
