Day 4 & 5

Consolidating friendships and the end of our stay

The following two days were spent with our host families, and by this time friends, Everybody was having a unique and enjoyable experience. 

It is now our task, that we are back here in Girona, to share our experiences and perspectives. 

Here we are as a group in the main hall of Kaufmannschule II. 

Day 3

After finalising the workshops part of our project meeting our Hagen and Girona students braved the rainy winter weather to make our way to Dortmund. We had two main objective in mind. 

Our first objective was getting to know the  Dassa museum, which is situated a few train stops from the city centre. Here we had an opportunity to reflect on the different aspects of work: what the job actually involves, the physical workspace and how the workers fit in and are affected by it. 

The museum is a large and spacious area which let us experience the different exhibits through all our senses.

Our second objective was to get to know this the city itself. Then students and teachers alike set out to explore the city and the Christmas celebrations German style.

Day 2

Today students were working in international groups again. They were given different tasks - most of them describing a problem of a peer for which they had to find solutions. Here you can see their presentations.

St Nicholas

Today is a special day in Germany.

It is St Nicholas and children clean their shoes the night before and put them out. Magically over night St Nicholas brings presents for the kids that have been good in the past year.This is what the shoes of my children looked like this morning:

So they must have been good ;-). Looking at the weatherforecast it seems that you will be bringing the rain with you:
