May 2022

Our groups met at last, following the various postponements and cancellations brought about by Covid and after having exchanged for a few months on the etwinning forum.
This page constitutes the meeting's log. The videos are provided by Enrique, photographs by Erik, notes and additional photographs by Frederic and Richard.

Meeting up at the youth hostel:


May 2nd

The school:

The morning kicked off at nine in a room within the church in front of the school; the school has a partnership with the Catholic / Lutherian school that allows for a meeting room to receive groups. Marius gave a presentation of the community building to the partners.

Ice-breakers were organised, with students choosing a fellow participant to have a chin-wag around various subjects such as their hometown, the details  of their trip, their language skills etc.
This was followed by a presentation exercise, ''inside and circle'', for a longer talk with a free subject, an activity deemed very positive and that had the students rely on their language skills to communicate.
The students' expectancies regarding the topic of sustainable development were written down and provided ground for exchanges in front of the group.

In the afternoon, further activities over lunch with students evoking the question of sustainable development in their home cities.
SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities, groups were set up with the Waste Challenge: going shopping to choose the best products to be in accord with sustainable development (the cheapest, less likely to generate waste, short distribution circuits).

The shopping activity was unanimously enjoyed by the group and the hands-on approach proved to be remarkably profitable.
An assessment with ranking of the most savvy shoppers concluded the activity.
Everyone mingled nicely and dinner in a typical German restaurant provided yet an opportunity to get to know one another.
