AMANDA STENBERG | SUBMITTED Students from Ludwigsburg, Germany spent two weeks in Mora exploring and learning from the American students. Mora students will be visiting Ludwigsburg in June. German exchange off ers fun learning opportunities

AMANDA STENBERG CONTRIBUTED

Twenty host families opened their homes to students from Ludwigsburg, Germany to create the third exchange with Mora. Relationships that require overcoming a language gap are special, requiring active listening, curiosity and humility. Therefore, the two-week ex- change in early October was fi lled with learning and laughter. At the Audubon Center of the North Woods, for example, American students taught the Germans how to play “Duck Duck Gray Duck.” Americans learned that Gray Wolves have returned to German for- ests. Together, students tried new things, such as boiling acorns to make tea. This June, a similar sized group of students from Mora schools will travel to visit Ludwigsburg to continue learning from each other (and likely laughing a AMANDA STENBERG | SUBMITTED AMANDA STENBERG | SUBMITTED little as well).
