20 SJS Students attend the ISTA Festival in Dusseldorf
Students from Years 6, 7, and 5º ano embarked on a thought-provoking journey at the ISTA festival hosted by the International School of Düsseldorf. Over the course of three days, they explored the theme 'Tuning In to what is True and False', engaging in discussions about fake news, conspiracy theories, perspectives, and the concept of truth.
The festival was based on the story of a child king who, after his father's death, was abducted from nearby Kaiserswerth Castle and taken to Cologne. On the first day of the trip, we braved the chilly weather to visit the castle's ruins, where the ISTA artists brought the story to life.
Over the course of three fun-filled days, the students explored the theme, ‘Tuning In to what is True and False’’ and dived into discussions around fake news, conspiracy, perspective, and what is truth? - They then prepared and performed a dramatic promenade performance, showcasing their new skills. Staying with lovely host families and meeting new friends from four other international schools made the whole experience all the more memorable.
On our final day, the sun came out, and we visited the city centre for a tour on a sightseeing bus before heading back to Lisbon.
It was fantastic to see the level of enthusiasm and engagement from the students and witness our school’s 6Cs in action.
Congratulations to all involved!
