Prague Spring

Study and Travel

to Amsterdam, Prague, and Berlin

during April Vacation 2013!

Information Session

Monday, September 24, 5-5:45pm

HS Media Center

Students and guardians are invited to a preview meeting for student travel to Amsterdam, Prague and Berlin over April vacation 2013. Faculty advisors Lisa Alcock and Anthony Parker will review the Prague Spring program, which highlights historical and cultural contexts for these cities, with special attention to the period between World War II and the years immediately following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Prague Spring is open to Weston High School students, with preference to upperclassman, depending on the number of applications.

Prague Spring 2010-2011

Seven students traveled to Amsterdam, Prague and Berlin from April 14-22, 2011

Prior to leaving, they learned about the places they visted, and explored the 20th Century History of WWII, the Cold War, and the collapse of Soviet control of Eastern Europe. There were readings, discussion and films, and students engaged in developing projects they completed upon return to Weston.

Among the places we visited are the Anne Frank House, the Dutch Resistance Museum, Radio Free Europe, Terezin concentration camp, the German Resistance Museum, the Museum of the DDR, and the Berlin Wall. Students used iPads to navigate the cities, communicate, and work on their projects.
