Bruce and the Albatrossians in a schoolclass in Bergen op Zoom


At the beginning of November 2011 five of us left the Netherlands for a special trip.

Our mission was to show European students what it is like to meet different cultures! For this reason we created a special team: Nel, the coordinator from The Netherlands, Rip, the British IT-specialist, Bruce, the American Broadway actor, Monika, the Czech intern at Atlantic Bridge and Anke, the German intern from Atlantic Bridge! Together we travelled through Germany and Czech Republic for introducing the students to some interesting people from a foreign island called "The Albatross".

“It was surprising and very interesting, I really liked it and wish we would have more presentations like that at my school!” one boy told me.
