To go to Togo is better, actually

Students who want to do their foreign work experience in a European country can apply for a Comenius scholarship, which is awarded by the European Commission. This scholarship is usually more than enough to cover all costs. But Charlotte Van de Voorde and Tine Pellegrims wanted to strike out further afield. They’d already been to the north of Africa, to Egypt and Morocco, and now they wanted to fly farther south to the Sub-Saharan region. When the Internationalization team told them that there was a possibility to go to Togo, they started their preparations for their departure step by step.
