Jugendcamp Otzenhausen

Having won in the European competition six students from the participating schools took part in the seminar from 1 to 6 July. The participants were 18 pupils from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Greece and Germany. After getting to know each other students looked into current issues in the EU and suggested ways of improving the EU. Next they learned to make calligraphy and designed their own glass panels. The picture shows one of them showing the topic of migration with the message that everyone is welcome.
The group also went hiking and climbed a hill from which they could see Luxemburg. Alina, a German student taking part in the camp, was really curious before going and looking forward to meeting fellow students from around Europe. Being a native speaker of Russian she also understood a few words of Croatian and Polish. She would love to take part in such a seminar again and thinks it is a great experience to meet with such lovely people. She also improved her English skills as this was the only common language everyone had.
