Guest students attended classes and introduced themselves and their country to German students.

Guest students experienced everyday school life in Germany. While talking to the students from abroad, the German students at the host school who did not actively participate in the Erasmus+ program got to practice their English and learn about the program and about the other EU partner countries.

Students and teachers brought good clothes that they didn’t wear anymore and exchanged them in a clothes swap. 

Thus, students understood that consumer products can be reused instead of being discarded, that secondhand stores are to be appreciated, as used clothes can bring as much joy as new ones. 

Students gave their prepared presentations focusing on the steps taken in their school and their hometown in order to promote sustainability. Then they compared the different measures taken at  the different schools and found about best practices to be applied for their own schools. realized that some of the measures could very easily be implemented in their own school. 

In this way, students discovered that even the smallest steps can make a difference towards sustainability. 

Students worked in mixed international teams and researched about the UN Sustainable Development Goals and their meaning. Each group communicated and presented their researched goals to the plenary and analyzed their applicability. Afterwards they discussed about possible practical contributions to some of these goals on a small scale, e.g. in school or at home, discussing measures of sustainability in their respective home countries.

In mixed international groups the students examined the path of consumer products from raw materials to the consumer and then they presented their conclusions in a creative way (e.g. poster, role-play, “interview” with the product etc.), also using various digital tools.

As a result, students acknowledged the amount of work, resources, and energy is put in producing and transporting everyday consumer goods. They realized the potential impact that very purchasing decision can have on our climate and on the working conditions of many people.

The students played an “Escape Game” at the Deutsches Museum in Munich in mixed international teams, going through various tasks. The objective was to help an alien save their home planet, Erasmia, from a climate calamity, and for that they had to answer various questions and solve tasks in the different exhibition rooms of the museum. All questions and tasks addressed different aspects of sustainability (energy, nutrition, transportation, recycling, nature, animals).

Therefore, students discovered the exhibits of the museum while also considering the impact of the human civilization on our planet.

The students played a simulation game called “Climate Settlers”. The students took on the roles of different governments that had to find solutions to prevent climate collapse, at the same time trying to increase their own country's prosperity. Students learned that compromises are necessary to preserve and save our planet. They became aware that the selfcenteredness of individual countries and the pursuit of global sustainability are often in conflict, and there are usually no simple solutions. 

Following the simulation game, the students also had a nice walk through the moors around Benediktbeuern, thus learning about this valuable ecosystem.

In mixed international teams, the students went through a scavenger hunt all around the Munich city center.

This way, the students discovered and found out information about the most iconic sights of Munich, while also socializing and spending their free time together.  

The students will stay with their host families. (bowling, hiking in the mountains etc.)

The teachers will visit an art exhibition of the street artist and political activist Banksy in Munich and take a walk in the beautiful Bavarian Prealps.
