Pécs meeting (V): The treasure box, next stop Kassel

One of the interesting surprises of the meeting was the project Treasure Box made by our Turkish colleagues.  After delivering the German legend - Grimm brothers' Rapunzel - the box has travelled to Kassel - our next stop.  More pictures about it in this link.

Pécs meeting (IV): Activities and visits

Our Hungarian colleagues had prepared a great programme of activities and visits.  There was time to do some cooking, to recreate some Pécs monuments using bottle caps...
We could also visit the Zsolnay centre, the site of the legend (Nagyharsany) and many other places in and around Pécs

You can see most of these activities and visits in this album

Pécs meeting (III): Comics

The different countries brought their comic versions of the Hungarian legend.  Everybody did a great job as you can see in this comic gallery.

In this presentation we can see the booket made by the Hungarian school with all the comics:

Our project: What do we know about each other? Answers for the Questionnaire

These are the answers to the questionnaire our students answered these previous months (Data collected from 133 students from 5 different countries)

1.  Three questions with yes/no answer:

• Have you ever met a person from the countries involved in the project?
• Have you ever visited one of the countries involved in the project?
• Have you ever talked to a person from these countries?

The chart shows that about 2/3rds of our students had had some contact with some of the other countries involved in the project (you may click on the chart to make it bigger).

2.  Which of these countries have you visited?  /  have you met or talked to someone from?

Austria and Germany are the countries which have been most visited by our students:  43 people had been to Germany or had met a German person.  33 people had been to Austria or had met someone for that country.  We guess that may be because several countries participating in the project are geographically close to these two countries.

3.  Which language did you use to communicate?
We can see that most people (75) used English as a communication language and a significant number (17) used German too.  The use of other languages for international communication was very small.

4. Meals that are typical from these countries

In the chart we can see the best known food from the countries involved in the project.  We can see that there is food from almost all the countries (the Czech Republic is our hidden gem).

From the data we collected our hearty European meal would consist of:

• Starter:  A Hungarian goulash soup or some Spanish paella.
• Main course:  German sausages or Turkish kebab or some Spanish tortilla
• Dessert:  Austrian cakes (Sachertorte, Apfelstrudel...) or Belgian Chocolates

There would be a Czech surprise somewhere there... 

Now it's time to get to know one another... and enjoy the differences!!!

A scary Halloween-greeting from class 5c in Kassel. 

Unfortunately, we're not with you right now, but we're very much looking forward to welcoming you here in Kassel in 2013.
Hopefully you're having a lot of fun and are happy with the outcomes of this meeting.

Hamarosan találkozunk!

P.S.: If you want to learn the song that we're currently singing, you can check out the following two clips on youtube and practice. We've had a lot of fun with this song and put together a karaoke version and recorded our own version. If you rehearse a little bit at home, in front of the computer and get to know the song, we can sing it together when you come visit us in Germany. Have fun!!!
