1. 2.
Heaven To Hell: A Journey Through The Renaissance And The Holocaust
History buffs will appreciate this international trip to understand Man’ s ideas and knowledge and its impact on the world. With Science, Art, Religion and History interwoven seamlessly, students are immersed in a natural and complete learning experience. Students get to visit Florence, birthplace of the Renaissance; Berlin, where the Holocaust Memorial Museum stands today; Auschwitz, most infamous of all Nazi concentration camps; and Vienna, where they can interact with students from the Karl Popper School for the Gifted.
Real Madrid International Sports Programme
RI and Real Madrid’ s partnership is in the news already; those lucky sports stars( unlike the writers of this article) will attend the RI-Real Madrid customised one-week programme to understand the culture and sports in Spain. Participants will travel to Spain and train at Real Madrid’ s facilities, watch live matches at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and feel the vibrancy of Madrid, the capital city of Spain. They will also visit the Real Madrid University and Sports Science centres to understand the importance of the sports science programmes in the development of excellence in sports.

Attachment To The Esplanade Theatres
For those keen on experiencing what it’ s like to work in a busy and iconic arts centre, a customised internship will be negotiated based on the students’ interest and abilities and matched to the programmes at The Esplanade Theatres in the duration of the internship. For example, intterns in the Front-of-House department will be exposed to a range of service operations such as customer service management, event preparation, cloakroom management and ushering duties among others. During larger festivals, interns could also be attached to Artist Liaison Officers where they will learn how the Esplanade hosts and meets the needs of international and regional programmes.
