German students are talk of the twin town




PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
6th December 2012
German students are talk of the twin town

Students from Glasgow’s twin town in Germany have been welcomed on a special visit to City of Glasgow College.

The group of 10 Food, Hospitality and Tourism students and their lecturer travelled from Berufliche School in Nuremberg.

After enjoying a tour of the college, the learners joined forces with City of Glasgow College HNC Professional Cookery students to cook a special Scottish menu. The dishes were then served up to Glasgow’s Deputy Lord Provost Gerry Leonard.

Gordon McIntyre, Head of Hospitality at City of Glasgow College, said: “It was a great experience for all of the students to meet each other and exchange ideas and experiences. Both colleges have strong links thanks to the twin town status but we’re keen to take this even further to give learners a deeper understanding of different cultures and approaches to food, hospitality and tourism. From talking to the students, I could see that they gained a great deal and I’m also delighted that the learners from Nuremburg will be taking some of Scotland’s fines recipes back to Germany!”
