MAJORETTES' EXCHANGE

Motivated of exchange projects that secondary schools have between students with goal that students can have more experience about different culture, education system and to make friendship between students of different countries, here we sent you new EMA project on which EMA president worked for several months now. We study all student exchange programs like AFS, DSD, Globus, even supervise several concrete examples of students on exchange. Based on that we made this exchange program for majorettes

 

Program is individual and it is about two majorettes from different countries to be exchanged, and that is not teams exchange.

 

CONDITIONS

host majorette = majorette which is in city where majorette in exchange will come to, which provide lodging and food, in period of 10 months will be majorette in exchange

majorette in exchange = majorette which travel to host majorette for exchange, in 20 months will be host majorette

 

All those strict conditions are because we want to prevent possible mistakes and problems, that exchange will be perfect experience for majorettes, and that parents and majorettes can be sure about safety and conditions where majorette is going. Because of that EMA will have very precise and big registration form and contract for participants in project and those who will not act by that contract will be prosecuted (for example majorette was in exchange but does not want to be host majorette).
