Herr Kong lernt seine Sprachlehrerin Doris Schäfer kennen
Xiaolong Kong is one of the first participants in the programme. He was very happy to have found a new home for his family in Pirmasens. For him this is a quiet place, compared to Shanghai, where he comes from. The clean air, clean water and sustainable policies were strong arguments to make the move. He is sure that his daughter finds best surroundings for her personal development. “Here she can go to school on her own and discover dimensions of freedom.” With the help of IB the entrepreneur and engineering specialist Xiaolong Kong will learn German on the level of B2.
