The first day in Dublin - interesting.
The meeting in Dungarvan was a varied one; the weather: rainy, windy and cold to pleasant,  the activities: cliffjumping, biking, interesting walkings on the cliffs and on the beach, sightseeing, and last but not least the biomass tour and working on the estory and on the energy corner.

On Monday we drove or walked to school and we did some icebreakers first. After that the Irish students showed us their beautiful school. We liked the view from the schoolyard most. Then we had some free time and after that we had a guided tour at the sea. We walked along a huge sandbank and the guide told us lots of things about the history and the nature. The tour took about 3 hours and then we went back to school where we had a little presentation about biomass. The afternoon was free and in the evening we met again in school for the community evening. Every country brought some typical food and we enjoyed tasting all the different food.

# data[].attributes.body
On Tuesday we met at school and went to the near biomass plant by bus. We had a guided tour and after a great lunch in a restaurant we went to an outddor education center. They offered lots of different activities like climbing, archery, caving and the most interesting: Jumping into the cold sea from a rock. Many students were brave, put on wetsuits and were taken to the coast by bus where they jumped into the ice-cold water. The others had fun doing the other activities or playing some games.

# data[].attributes.body
We spent the morning at school on Wednesday. We made presentations about biomass in international groups. After another great lunch we went to a small city at the coast where the same guide as on Monday told us lots of interesting things about the history. We visited an old monastery, saw a famous round tower but most of all we loved the beautiful countryside including the green grass and the very impressing cliffs. Everybody liked fish and chips for lunch and in the afternoon we did lots of shopping in our free time. Some students went to a cinema and watched a scary movie.

On Thursday we went to Kilkenny by bus and had a guided tour at Kilkenny Castle first. It was very interesting to see the antique interior. We had another gorgeous lunch at „Matt the Millers“ and then we drove to Dunmore Caves. Our guide took us to three different rooms and the most impressing moment was when the guide switched off the lights and the Irish students started to sing.

# data[].attributes.body
After arriving at school on Friday we listened to Irish music and that was great. Some teachers and students presented traditional Irish music on traditional instruments. They also showed us some typical Irish dances and invited us to join. Then we left for Dungarvan where we got some rental biks and we rode about 22 kms on the famous greenway. It is a former railway and the view was fantastic. We even rode through a tunnel. We had some sandwiches and drinks at a restaurant and then we went to a guy who works with birds of prey. He told us many things about his birds first and then we went outside and some people had special leather gloves. The guide put some meat on the gloves and the bird landed on the hands. He showed us other birds like falcon, owl and even a big buzzard. One owl flew over our heads and you couldn't hear the beat of its wings. We rode back the same wonderful way back to Dungarvan and in the evening we had a little farewell party at the „Lawlors“ hotel.

On Friday morning the whole school joined breakfast at the school cafeteria! After breakfast we went to the library where we presented our final exposure in front of a big audience. Later we were picked up by a bus because we went ice fishing, but unfortunately nothing was caught! After all we concluded the amazing week with a nice farewell party.

We have to admit that we really enjoyed the time we spent in Finland and we would like to come back again someday. Thanks for your lovely hospitality and this awesome experience.

On Thursday morning we went to the lecture hall again and finished our Snapchat stories about wind energy. Shortly after we had one hour for ice skating or hockey. After lunch the sporty time wasn't over yet. Because the plan was to go to a volleyball tournament. Our team of exchange students won the first match but sadly lost against the teacher's team. In the evening we enjoyed a very nice and funny evening at a finnish student's place. We sang songs and played truth or dare. The highlight of this evening was the delightful view of the northern lights.

On Wednesday we drove into a forest and spent our day in and around some small cabins.

At first we had breakfast and then we were split up into groups. We made fire in the woods and broiled pancakes. After lunch we did a walk through the forest on snow shoes or on skis.

After that we went into the sauna and roasted sausages. At 6 PM we returned to our host families.

Preparing Gröbers - Germany In June, when all exams were finished we started to work for the next meeting in Gröbers,  to find a tongue twister or songs. It lasts very long to find the right one. Coal as primary energy for production of electricity is not very common in Austria and a little bit strange for us. After some recherche work we found out, that there are some coal fired power plants. We have learned a lot with these preparations. At the end of the schoolyear the questionnaires were prepared. Back to school on the 3rd of september, we started the survey on the 5th of september, did the online questionnaire with our colleagues, asked people and gave the questionnaires to our parents and grandparents. Finally we did the evaluation of the questionnires, had a last meeting to sort out all things concerning the meeting in Gröbers.

On Monday we all met at 8 o'clock and our headmaster gave a warm welcome to our guests. Even the mayor of our municipality gave a little speech. It was the first time that we saw all of the exchange students that`s why we played a few games and so that we get to know each other better. Then we discussed the activities for the next days. After that, we went to school for lunch.

After lunch we went to a climbing hall in Halle. Most of us had a lot of fun. After climbing we had free time. Some of us went shopping or just walked through the city. At 7o'clock pm we went back to school for a community evening. There was food from all different countries. The food was very tasty. All in all, it was a very nice evening.

On Tuesday we went to the open-cast mining Schleenhain and to the coal fired power - station at Lippendorf. The guide explained the history of this open-cast mining. He told us that the coal was between 20 and 45 million years and was only used by the power station. In the open-cast mining we had to wear helmets and safety goggles. When we left the bus, we had the chance to look at a bucket wheel excavator from close up. Amazing! We learned that they have been mining 11 tons of coal each year since 1949. The coal is not transported by trains, it is transported by conveyor belts. Next, we went to the power station and had lunch. After the lunch we looked around in the power plant with a second guide. On the tour we saw the control room, the turbines, the coal mills and the furnace. It was interesting to know that the power plant produces no exhaust. By the way the view from 165m over Leipzig was stunning. At 14:30 the tour was over and we went back.

Afterwards we walked through the city and went shopping or has lunch somewhere. Then we visited the Battle of Nations Monument where we were allowed to go up upstairs. After we climbed about 600 steps we had a really good view over the city and we could see the brown coal – fired power plant of Lippendorf.

The last day of our project week began with a feedback of the time we have spent together. Each student had the opportunity to talk about their impressions and thoughts during the project. There was a game for example, in which a piece of paper was stuck on each student`s back. The other students were now allowed to write something nice about that person.Later on, we showed our Snapchat stories and our exchange student presented their surveys on the topic of brown coal.In the evening the highlight of the whole week took place. Students, teachers and parents were invited to farewell evening where we had a nice barbeque.  It was eaten, drunk, talked and taken many pictures, and unfortunately it was we had to say goodbye to our new friends. This was quite hard, indeed but now we are even more looking forward to seeing our Irish and Finnish students in the next year. Retrospective, we can say that this week was exciting and exhausting, but also very nice and interesting, and we all could speak English better than we hoped before. The project was worth this experience and we can only recommend it.

Last day

At 9:00 we met at school in Rakovnik. Now it was time to make our snap stories about our trip to the nuclear power plant and to write our reports. We were divided into four international groups. Some of us drew pictures, wrote articles or even made little cooling towers out of cardboard cups. We worked until 11:45. Then we went to a restaurant. After dinner we went came back and continued working until afternoon.

In the evening our hosts organized a really nice good-bye party. Besides loads of food, two bands that consist of teachers and students were playing the whole evening. No wonder that lots of us started dancing or jumping. 😊
Thanks for this great evening and of course this amazing week.

Our trip to Prague

As part of our Erasmus project we went to Prague. We arrived in there at 9:30. We were split up into two groups. Now our tour through Prague began. We had to follow the lady with the yellow umbrella who told us a lot about the sights of this famous city. We saw the St. Vitus Cathedral, the Prague Castle and of course the Charles Bridge. Some information was very interesting. The tour was quite long so that we felt very happy when we entered a little café to have a nice little rest. In the afternoon we had plenty of free time. Some of us went to a big shopping centre and spent money on clothing, snacks and of course some souvenirs. Finally, we met in front of the shopping centre and went back to Rakovnik.

Excursion to Temelin

On Wednesday we visited the nuclear power plant Temelin. After a 3-hours bus ride we arrived there. Shortly after arriving we learnt a bit about nuclear power and how to behave in a nuclear power plant. In a cloud chamber we were able to see the passage of ionizing radiation.

Then our tour through the plant started in the block supervision room, the control centre of the power plant. Then we went to one of the bunkers. After we had been in this bunker we had to

pass the security gate. We were not allowed to take metal objects with us and we had to wear helmets. Inside the nuclear power plant, we went to the cooling towers first and later in one of the buildings with the turbines and condensers. When we walked out of this building we still could see the access to the reactor, which may be used after the shutdown. After this tour we had lunch in the canteen of the power plant.

After lunch it was quite hard to follow the presentation about the energy production of the Czech Republic but of course we could manage it. 😊

Sleepy but full of new experiences we travelled back to Rakovnik.

Another day in Rakovnik

On Tuesday, we watched and listened to the analyses of the surveys, which all had to be done in preparation of the project. Then the students from the Czech Republic gave a talk about nuclear energy and explained the process which takes place when nuclear energy is produced.

After that we went bowling in the sports centre nearby and after lunch we went to the miniature golf course.

A really informative and sporty day!

Monday:
On Monday was the first time we met at the school of our host country Czech Republic. The first night with our host family was over and now we couldn´t wait to get to know all the other students. First, we stick on a kind of name card with information about us for example about our home country and what we like and dislike. Besides we asked each other some questions. The next task seemed to be easy but it wasn´t. We had to make a poster on where everyone could bring their ideas in but we were not allowed to use our hands. It was funny to see people drawing with their mouth, inside of their elbows or even with their nose. Later our hosts showed us round the school.

After all, we went for a walk through Rakovnik. We were welcomed by a member of the town hall and watched a video about Rakovnik. Now it was lunch time and we tried the good Czech cuisine. Delicious!

Now we had free time. We explored Rakovnik on our own, made pictures and much more. Unfortunately, it started to rain.

This evening was the international evening where we could try typical Czech, Finnish, Irish, Austrian and German food which was brought by the members of the country. We hope that the others enjoyed our German food such as crispbread, pumpernickel, liverwurst, gherkins and of course our “Hallorenkugeln”. After this meal, the first day was over.

After the icebreakers, we went to a local restaurant, where we got served some food. The food was good and tasty, and nothing what to expect from finns perspective. We also faced food, called Halushki.

After lunch we went to a town hall, where the main people of Rakovnik presented us things about Rakovnik. After the presentation, we went around the city of Rakovnik. In the evening we presented our much expected snapstories. Then we went to home and prepared for the next day...
