Practical lessons on Schiermonnikoog
Schiermonnikoog is one big learning area. The different landscapes offer countless
opportunities for assignments and fieldwork. You can, of course, make your own assignments from teaching packages
prepare, but also The Beacon of Nature Monuments and the tourist office can help you further.
After a morning outside, the group can relax, cook and consult in their own
accommodation. Exactly how a good study week should be.
