The workshops

We had two really interesting workshops: first we got to know the dancing teacher and he rehearsed a modern dance with us. We had to work in pairs. It was great because so we got to know each other much better right at the beginning of the trip. The dance was quite complicated and we had to work very hard, but in the end we were all proud of what we had learned within such a short time. One of the Polish students filmed the workshop and we saw the film on our last day at the school.

The second workshop started at the end of the first day at school. We went to an art classroom where we were shown some figures made of plastic wrap. After a short introduction we started to make such a figure ourselves.

When the Polish group had been in Bochum our topic had been "heroes". So the idea of the Polish colleagues was to create a figure with characteristics of several heroes. It was supposed to become a mixture of Einstein, Beckenbauer, Gutenberg ,Tell and Roentgen.

So first of all the different parts of the body had to be constructed.

We wrapped tape around parts of the body of different boys of our group. Then we had to cut it and to stuff the body with paper. The next day we started painting it. Unfortunately we didn't have enough time, so the teachers finished it. The figure was dressed up and given a name: Einauer Telgenberg. It was a lot of fun and I am glad that our exchange students have the figure as a memory of us. I wish them a beautiful new school year!!!
