Very positive response to Spanish Day

To make up for the canceled Spanish exchange program, Spanish teachers Mar Montenegro, Laura Cubillas, and María Ramos celebrated a Spanish Day with the students in classes 9a, 9b, and 9c who are learning Spanish. As part of the event, the group went on a scavenger hunt in Spanish through the Marburg Art Museum.

During this event, the students were to learn from a Colombian art historian about Colombia’s regional art and its development over the past few centuries, and to engage directly with the museum’s artworks that had particularly caught their attention that day. At the end of the field trip, the group had a picnic in the old botanical garden.
María Ramos summed up the day on a positive note: “The students’ feedback was so positive that we are considering making this field trip a regular part of the department’s curriculum.”
