Sweden Day 2

25 April 2016

Some of us went to school by bike, Simon even on a tandem. Today we started with a tour of the school.  Our first impression: there is a lot of space!!!! For studying as well as relaxing. In Sweden, everybody seems to be relaxed.

Then we were split up into international teams and sent on a treasure hunt through Mjölby. So we got the chance to get to know the village better, but also each other. Temperatures just above zero and sunshine.

After having lunch at school we enjoyed a presentation about Sweden, which was - let's put it that way- unusual, charming and hilariously funny.

In the afternoon all the students held their presentation about the labour market in their countries.

Sweden Day 1

24 April 2016

The Austrian team consisting of Jasmin Grasberger, Viktori Langenreither, Simon Fuchsluger, Tobias Kloibhofer, Mag. Renate Hilmbauer and me is ready for Sweden!

An airport shuttle service picked us up at 3.15am this morning. Now we are waiting for our flight to Stockholm.

10.00am We have finally arrived in Stockholm. After sunshine above the clouds we are faced with snowfall and rain during our tour through the city centre. First we stopped at the townhall and strolled through Gamla Stan, the historic town. Then we watched the changing of the guards and had a coffee break in one of the many charming cafes. Our final destination was the Vasa museum. Luckily, we got some sunshine walking along the esplanade on our way back to the station.
At 18.21 we took the train to Mjölby, where we arrived at 20:14. Our hosts picked us up from the station and took us to our Swedish "homes".
A very long and exciting first day!

On Friday we started with presentations again. Each international team interduced a social entrepreneur to us. During the feedback meeting of our students the teachers planed their next mobility to Sweden in April 2016. Afterwards our headmistress handed over the certificates to all participants of our meeting in Amstetten. And then we had to say good bye to our new friends. See you soon somewhere in Europe again!

Today we have been in Vienna. An excelltent guide explained interesting facts about the most importend sigths of Vienna. After lunch we visited the workshop "Dialogue in the Dark" where we got some insight into life of blind people. Afterwards our guests had the possibility of going shopping. IT was an interesting but exhausting day!
