🏙️ Historical and Cultural Exploration
The students immersed themselves in Chicago’s history and culture with a visit to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry and by taking in the view from the Willis Tower.
A cruise allowed them to experience the city in a different way, observing its iconic architecture and exploring its geography.
Finally, a cultural escape game took them to several historic sites.
This school trip was an opportunity to celebrate the core values of school sport, strengthen bonds among students, allow them to meet students from the network, and discover a North American metropolis!
