Erasmus+ (The
First Meeting in
Germany)
The first meeting
of the Erasmus+
project took place
in Mülheim an der
Ruhr, from 27 th November to 2 nd December, 2017. The
participants from our primary school Antona Ingolič
Spodnja Polskava were two teachers (Cvetka Govejšek
and Barbara Jurista) and two students (Nina Hartl and Lina Kovač).
On Sunday, 27 th November, we went by bus early in the morning to the Vienna airport and then took a
flight to Düsseldorf in
Germany. A week full of
unforgettable memories
started with seeing our host
families for the first time.
Lina and I spent the
mornings, evenings and
nights at their homes. Fun
was not the only purpose of
our trip; we had school work
and different tasks too.
The working week started on Monday when we first gathered at our
host school. We had presentations of our homes and schools in the
auditorium with all the participating students and teachers from seven
different countries. Slovenia was the first to hold the presentation followed by Italy, France, Norway,
Greece and Portugal. After the presentation, we had a debate in
English
language with the topic »What does homeland mean to me? «.
At the
beginning everyone was a bit reserved, but after a while we all
started to
discuss more openly. The most participants told us that their
understanding of homeland is a place where their friends and
family live or
their native language is spoken. After the debate, we were
divided into
groups by different nationalities. Until the end of the week each
of the group
had to prepare a presentation or a video on the topic »What does homeland mean to me? «. The rest of
the morning we spent time together to get to know each other better. After a quite exhausting beginning,
we were all hungry and went on lunch in a restaurant by the river. Later, we were exploring Mülheim with
our groups where we had to fill out a questionnaire. Then we were
allowed to spend some time on our own.
We started Tuesday in the classroom where Lina and I attended an art
lesson with the teachers from Italy. Our teachers gave a lecture in the
seventh class of the local school. The Gasometer in Oberhausen was
