Feedabacks - Project Reunion in Germany


I consider myself a very lucky student because I was offered the chance to go to Germany for a week. I am part of the Romanian team and I was very proud to represent my country. First I want to congratulate everyone involved, especially those who have organized this project reunion.
For me the whole experience, from beginning to end was a new one and unique.
Firstly, I had never travelled by plane, it was the first time and I was a little scared. But I realized that is not as scary as I thought, on the contrary it is very comfortable and pleasant.
Of course to get to Hanover we had to travel by bus to the train station in Dortmund and then by train. It was a long and tiring trip but worth the full effort.
I was accommodated by Sarah Waldhauer and I can say I felt like at home. Her parents are also special people and made me a great pleasure to be part of their family for a week.
The first days I visited Hanover and we went shopping and then we visited the school.
Each team presented the film with the interviews. All teams were very good and the presentations as well.
The activity that I liked most was that when we formed teams and got the interview and we presented the results. I was in the team who interviewed José Carrascosa. It was interesting to listen to his life story because I think it could represent, for all of us, an example of strength. He always wanted to be accepted in the German community and he always tried to improve his skills.
The interviews we had taken in our school had also been were very interesting. We found out about the difficulties the persons who leave their native country are being faced with.
I also liked the Hanover tour very much because we visited the most important parts of the city. Hanover is a wonderful place. Especially on the eve of winter holidays it is a very colourful city. In the Christmas market we could feel the magic and joy of the Christmas holidays.
Wednesday I had a special evening, which I will never forget. I was with Sarah’s parents at a Greek restaurant and I felt great and I thank them for those moments which they offered me.

Last but not least, we enjoyed very much visiting Hamburg and the Museum of Immigration. I liked it very much, because it reproduces very well the conditions in which immigrants lived and also what surprised me was that I could listen to each story.
In conclusion the project reunion in Germany was an experience I will never forget.
I thank once again Sarah's family and my form teacher for her trust in me and for this opportunity.
