Sandra Grüninger said in her welcoming address: "Our district is internationally oriented, we have partnerships with regions in Italy, Hungary, Israel and China. This is precisely why we are proud that our schools in the district also attach great importance to international exchange. Student exchanges shape lives, contribute to mutual understanding and broaden horizons." She wished the pupils a great stay in the district of Ludwigsburg and an exciting year with lots of new experiences.
The international exchange classes were first offered in the 2003/2004 school year and are now a permanent fixture at FSG. The classes are in year 10 and around a third of them are attended by international students. The language of instruction is English. The aim is to give pupils the opportunity to deal directly with other cultures and thus promote intercultural competence in everyday life.
