Hello project partners!

Ines is talking to you again...it was a hot weekend there in Vienna when all partners of the project met again or for the first time at polycollege, 5th district, Vienna.

There were six people coming from Ireland, Hungary showed up with four and two Germans completed the group from the other EU countries. The Viennese delegation changed a bit during these four days, and one person came from radio orange 94.0

At first we gave our partners a little bit of a German lesson - as you can see it was very lively.

Then we had the pleasure to keep in shape with Annelies, polycollege's gymnastics trainer - it was exhausting, but much fun!



In the afternoon we made a short visit at Agenda 21, the 5th district's project of involving its inhabitants in district's culture. The Irish people were impressed how such a thing is able to work.


In the afternoon the whole group went down to the 9th district to see radio orange 94.0 in Schubertgasse 10. The radio boxes were also inspected and the studio was very crowded for some time.


As we didn't get the room that was reserved for our meeting with the editorial group of "Radio im besten Alter" we walked down the street to the WUK (Werkstätten-und Kulturzentrum). Making a circle with our chairs we discussed and listened to the stories three of the members of "Radio im besten Alter" had to tell.


Saturday morning started with a surprise: nearly everybody was quite on time for the first meeting of the day - a short visit by the Bezirksvorsteher Kurt Wimmer.


Afterwards there was the main part of the project made with filling out together the final report for EU Grundtvig.

When everything was done correctly we had some time to visit the polycollege bookshop around the corner - a pleasure for Claire, who found the U2 biography.


The radio studio of polycollege was shown, too.

After a quick lunch our european guests were invited to a sightseeing tour through Vienna by one of the members of the editorial group of "Radio im besten Alter" and enjoyed it very much.

To complete this impressive and work intensive weekend the whole group had a nice last evening at a typical "Heurigen" were they could taste wine and feel themselves as a "Reblaus".

Our "Lernpartnerschaft" came to an end so far, but we are looking foward to meet again in the future and work together on another interesting project for everybody is feeling the european vibe very strong now.

Bye, and see you soon.
Ines.
