ERASMUS+ TEACHER’S MEETING Mo, 3.10.2017 to Fr, 7.10.2017


After intensive preparation work we welcomed colleagues from Slovenia, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Poland and Spain at our school. Nine months after the last meeting in Pietarsaari, Finland, there was a lot to catch up on.

The topic of the meeting in Vienna was: “Web 2.0 Tools and Cultural Diversity“.

On Tuesday, October 4th, our guests were welcomed with a welcome song of our school choir.

 After the official opening of the meeting by Birthe Witt Jason, the project coordinator from Denmark, the first workshop on Web 2.0 started.

An expert from a neighbouring grammar school, Josef Buchner, introduced methods and strategies to use Web 2.0 tools in class. He focussed on the tool of the “Flipped Classroom“.

In the afternoon we had a guided tour through a museum in an old church. The tour is called „Dialogue in the Dark“ and the guides are blind or visually impaired, which makes the tour very authentic and provides insights into how blind people cope with the challenges of everyday life.

In order to make our guests acquainted with the heart of Vienna, we used a Web 2.0 tool called “Actionbound“, which takes you on an online scavenger hunt.

On Wednesday, October 5th, our guests were welcomed by our head teacher Dagmar Kerschbaumer and were guided through the school building by students of our school.

In a workshop, our guests reported on the activities which had already taken place at their schools and which impact the work of the Erasmus+ Teams had on their schools.

After lunch, our colleagues had a chance to experience Vienna’s public transport system when we travelled from Heustadelgasse to a hilly part of Vienna called Grinzing, which is well-known for its vineyards and wine taverns. Although it was a cold and windy day, we were all motivated to hike to the circle of trees called “Lebensbaumkreis“, corresponding the signs of the zodiac.

The last day of the teachers‘ meeting focussed on preparing the workshops for the approaching students‘ meeting in November/December 2016 on “Cultural Diversity“.

Our farewell dinner was, of course, at a “Heurigen“, a wine tavern typical of this area and of Vienna.
