MY thanks to Blackburn with Darwen Council for allowing my friends and I to attend the 'Study Experience in France' in July.
I am a 16-year-old student who regularly attends the Study Support Centre. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and for many of the students, it was the first time they had visited another European country.
The visit provided us with the opportunity to interact with students from different parts of France and students from different schools in Blackburn with Darwen.
Finally, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who was involved in making this one of the best visits that my friends and I have attended. I hope many other visits to foreign countries with the Study Support Centre will continue, thus allowing the youth of Blackburn and Darwen to broaden their horizons.
