Erasmus+ Students Meeting Vienna (Nov 27th– Dec 2nd 2016)



Sunday November 27th 2016

Finally, the big day - Sunday - was here. We were all waiting for the arrival of our guests. The excitement was almost unbearable. Who will come? What will they look like? Will they be nice people? All those questions went through our heads until finally, with a little bit of delay, our guests from Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Poland, Slovenia and Italy entered the room.
The group split up and we welcomed them nervously in English. But since they were really exhausted from their journey, we couldn't talk too much with them and decided to continue the next day.

After having breakfast we went to school. At school we met all the other students and talked a lot. There were many interesting topics to discuss. Hearing what going to school is like in other countries was very interesting. Also our programme was exciting. In the beginning we introduced ourselves and spoke about our home countries. Afterwards we continued working in smaller groups.

On Tuesday, one of our most busy days, we started with a little quiz by our Finnish students and we all had the chance to win delicious Finnish sweets. After working with our pre-tasks for a little while we were joined by the teachers Mr. Stangl and Mr. Wolf who taught us a song containing all the languages we speak. Straight after the lunch break we headed for the UN-Headquarters where we had a tour and learnt many interesting facts about the work of the United Nations. Shortly after, it was already time for dinner so we all chose from our favourite fast food at Schwedenplatz to gain some energy for a walk through the Schönbrunn zoo. There we were able to observe animals such as lions, penguins, wolves and many more with the aid of night vision binoculars. We were guided by two very friendly members of the zoo staff who gave us a lot of information and answered all our questions concerning both the zoo and the animals.

On Wednesday it was our Italian students’ turn to do the warm-up. Afterwards we started working on the topic “National diversity, cultural stereotypes, where am I from?”. This program was managed by the teachers of the Danish and Italian schools. It was about prejudice and how to deal with it as well as about the situation in our countries. We also talked about how we see our country and what we know about other countries. After this we performed the song that we had rehearsed the day before, in which we included all the languages of our visitors. We had a short lunch break, followed by a program organized by the Slovenian and Polish teachers. It was about everyone’s individual personality. In small groups we talked about our everyday-life and how we are doing. Then we practiced our flash mob with music and dance and spent the rest of the day with our families to get to know our guests better.

On Thursday the students from Poland and Slovenia started our day with a warm-up activity. Afterwards we had a well-prepared programme on the topics “personal identity” and “cultural diversity”. In small groups we brainstormed ideas for different terms connected to these topics. In our groups we had the chance to exchange lots of ideas and discuss them intensely. Later we wrote short poems and shared them in class. 
After lunch we went to „Dialogue in the Dark“. We were split up into smaller groups again and everyone was provided with a white stick. And then our tour in pitch black darkness started. Without seeing anything, we had to overcome a couple of obstacles and master everyday situations. It was very interesting to experience what it must feel like being blind, and it was astonishing to find out what blind people manage to do every day without any help from somebody else.
After our tour we went back home and spent the rest of the evening with our guests.

On Friday the students from Denmark organised a warm-up activity. We were split up into smaller groups and then performed little scenes of things that annoy us a lot during our everyday life. In the morning we watched videos about patriotism and worked on this topic in more depth. We also analysed the cultural differences between „man“ and „woman“ in our different countries. Afterwards we performed our flash mob for all the other students at our school. Then we had the afternoon off, so we could decide what to do with our guests here in Vienna. Some took a ride on the Riesenrad (a tall Ferris wheel), for example, and others stayed at home to bake cookies together with their host family. Later in the afternoon we again met in school to go to a bowling alley together. After this fun evening, unfortunately, we had to say good-bye to each other. Even though we were sad and shed some tears, we were also grateful that we were given the opportunity to participate in this project and to be part of this great experience.
