OUR FIRST TRIP IN BERLIN - 9-16 / 4 / 2011 (part 5)

Report written by Ksenia Gikopoulou

  


  Our school is participating in many programs and is doing many activities with other schools of other countries. Although, this participation in Comenius Project "Europe Without Prejudices" was the first one for us. In this project we had the chance to collaborate with schools from Germany, Poland, Turkey and Estonia.

   I was one of the students who participated in this program and specifically one of the girls who had the opportunity to visit Berlin in the first exchanging trip between countries. I'm glad that I had this opportunity in my school life and all this taught me to be a better person with less prejudices for other people, as I understood that we all have many commons.

   Firstly, I would like to say that I liked very much Berlin; it is so huge and clean!!! I also loved OSZ IMT; this school is unbelievable, I can't describe it! Furthermore, the activities we had there were really interesting. We made calendars all together separated in teams, all teams presented their countries with five words or more, we also separated in teams and looking for some attractions in Berlin in which we had to take photos with our teams. I can't forget that I was counting 244 -I think- stairs... in the Friedrichstadtkirche's Cathedral (If I'm not mistaken about its name), while this was written on a wall...!!! Well, I did and learned so many things in a week and it was fascinating doing it!

   There are so many things that I would like to mention; things I will never forget, like the party we had organized for Maria's birthday (a girl from our team), the karaoke club, the jazz bar, our last party the last day in Berlin, where we sang, danced ("damat" and "kolbasti", the turkish dances names I remember) and having a really pleasant time all together. 

   But the most important for me was that I met the students from the other countries -all of them- and that I had the chance to work and have an unforgettable week with them. I could never believe that I would have made so many friends and that we would still communicate after the trip!!!

   Before closing, I would really like to thank our hosts, the students from Germany, who were with us all that week. Honestly, those guys were so friendly, kind, funny, and not at all "schlecht" (bad) with us! I will never forget them!!! This week will be imprinted in my mind for ever!!! 

   Greetings from Greece!!! I am looking forward seeing you here!!!

See you soon....
