Italian students' experience

1. Germany
By 3C and 3B
Luca and Rayen + Sofia and Riccardo

2. 1st Day
We have come together to school at 9:00, we were ready to start!
Between us there was some fear, anxiety but also happiness.
There was a bus that took us to the airport in an hour.
Arrived there we waited for an hour and then we checked in.
Finally we started!!

4. 1st Day
When we arrived at Berlin airport, a group of German students awaited us with
their professor who brought us to the meeting point:
THE BRANDENBURG GATE
On the afternoon of the same day we went to visit REICHSTAG with a device
that guided us.
From the inside of the building you could see the city from above and you could
see the main monuments and palaces.

5. 2nd Day
We wake up at 6.30 and we leave from the hotel that hosted us the night before
and we go to the Brandenburg Gate.
We then come to the European Parliament where we have illustrated the phases
of law drafting in all areas through a German speaking guide that spoke good
English and we were able to understand something. After driving we went to a
3-storey supermarket to have lunch.
After lunch we left for Hildburghausen

6. 2nd Day
By 20:00 we arrived in Hildburghausen (after 5 hours of travel) where we met the
families that would have hosted us, and the sofia had already come in for a couple
of hours.
We immediately recognized our correspondents because we had already seen
them in italy. We came home tired and after a quick tour of the house and
presenting with the family we went to bed to resume for the next day.

8. 3rd DAY
After having breakfast with the family, at 9:00 we all met at school for a short tour.
Then we left with the mini-a-thuri coach (miniature thuringia + roller coaster)
At 13:00 we had lunch with würstel and then in the following hours we played the
roller coaster and returned to school at 19:30.

9. 4th DAY
It was a free day, so everyone had
different activities with host family.

10. 5th DAY
On the fifth day we went to Erfurt; At 7am we left for Thuringia’s capital, we arrived
there about 10 a.m. and we went to Europe Direct, the sector that works with our
project.
In practice the sector that financed us. At the beginning they explained a bit about
the function of European Direct then they explained the qualities you have to go to
work in Germany and finally thanked us and we saw a video. To finish the tour in
Erfurt we did a guided tour in the historic city center;
We finally returned home at 19:30 in the evening and we had dinner with the
family.

11. 6th DAY
On this day we did not have nothing special, we attended the
program: Art workshop, certificate delivery, listening some songs
(very good) and lunch at school, then at "home".

12. 7th DAY
This was the last day and we all meeted in the largest parking
of the city (Polizeiparkplatz, the place where we met the first
time with the host).
Then we left to Nuremberg airport where we had the last
greeting.
It was a sad day for someone....

13. LUCA ASTOLFI RAYEN SOUSSI
I liked flying very much, it was my first time!
In my opinion, staying with another person's
family isa great idea, I've seen my hostas a
sister for one week! I liked the project and I
would like to do it again, Germany is in my
opinion a dream place!
In my opinion it was a great experience where I
could "try my spoken English" with people who
only spoke that language with me so it was the
only way to communicate with each other.
Another thing that struck me was the landscape,
magnificent because it was very rich in mountain
ranges and the view from above is wonderful !
The family was very welcoming and very nice,
and it is the first time that I stayed alone away
from my family ... but it was an excellent
experience; I hope I can have outside asimilar
experience again, in future.

14. Thanks for watching!
