The

culture, tradition and ethnicity. The exchange programmes not only bring two
distinct countries and schools together, but also create bonds of friendship
between teachers, students and their families.
This
year, 8 pupils and 4 teachers from St. Gertrudis School Ellwangen have visited
India as exchange partners of Carmel Convent School. While addressing the
audience, the German Cultural counsellor emphasized the importance of exchange
programmes and said "Exchange programmes give exposure to a foreign culture. The
differences in food, language, traditions, and sometimes even clothing and
architecture, can open one's mind to new ways of living and being".
St. Gertrudis and Carmel Convent were
jointly awarded the best project award by PAD (PadagogischerAustauschdienst) or
Education Exchange Service.)for their project on Women Empowerment for the year
2012-13. Carmel Convent has
