Hi, there, how's been the summer, hope you've had a great time and I'm sure all of you are anxious to see some images from your recent visit to Germany and some of your project mates and friends. We all hope these images will bring you back to some of the really nice moments we lived during our stay. Thanks to our German hosts and families, they really made us feel at home.

Third Students Exchange in Neuburg
The SRO meeting in Neuburg took place from 29th May to 4th June 2016. Project work included students’ presentations of themselves and own voluntary work experience, designing T-shirts with the SRO logo, hands-on voluntary work at a home for the elderly and a local kindergarten. There was also a visit to the biggest volunteer centre in Germany, in the city of Augsburg.
The Clinic Clowns, a group based at Neuburg’s hospital , presented their volunteer work at home and abroad and our school NGO presented volunteer work by the school centre’s students and teachers to help young refugees cope with their new situation.
Team evaluation work focused on a comparison of the social security systems of the project countries.
BUT IT WAS NOT ALL WORK!
The cultural highlight was a day in Munich, Bavaria’s capital. We also visited the car manufacturer Audi in Ingolstadt, the region’s biggest employer and had a guided tour of the old town of Neuburg with its beautifully preserved renaissance architecture and exquisite library. Our farewell meeting took the form of a typical Bavarian brunch provided by catering students of the school centre. Of course, everyone also had time to experience Bavarian family life and get to know the Neuburg area with the host families.

Second Students Exchange Sweden
On the first day students presented their work, such
as presentations of themselves and of their local NGO’s. We also had a presentation
from Stadsmissionen by a representative of that NGO. The students worked in
mixed groups to prepare for their voluntary work.
The next day, we spent a whole day at Stadsmissionen
doing voluntary work. The students did all kind of work. Sorting buttons,
cleaning micros, pricing clothes, hanging clothes, sorting books etc. By the
end of the day, we were all tired but satisfied with the work we’d done. And, best of all! We’re welcome back to help, as the
students did such a great job!
On Wednesday we worked on the presentations all day.
And in the end we saw the awesome films.
Thursday was “Cultural day”. A guided tour in the Old
town and the city. We learnt that our king came from France, that we’ve been
defeated by the Germans and that one of our kings spent a lot of time in
Turkey. Poor Spaniards? Where were they?
Friday was also a cultural day. Skiing at
Flottsbro. So many students skied for the first time and learned thanks to our
PE-teachers.
And to sum it all up, we had a
“smorgardbord” to say goodbye (for this time).
