Share your stories – so heißt ein Projekt der Schülerinnen und Schüler am United World College (UWC). Dabei geht es darum, ihre Geschichten und Perspektiven aufzuzeigen. Am UWC wohnen und lernen 200 Schüler:innen aus 90 unterschiedlichen Ländern – es gibt also viele spannende Geschichten zu erzählen. Mitte April waren vier unserer Klassen, die 9b, 3II, 2L1 und 2L2, mit ihren Englischlehrer:innen Frau Klingst-Seiche, Frau Pink und Herrn Laisney, zu Besuch in der alten Kartause unweit unserer Schule. Wir haben vier Vorträge von Jugendlichen aus Venezuela, Deutschland, Portugal und Zambia gehört. Hier sind ein paar Eindrücke:I really enjoyed the excursion because I have learned some new things about the different cultures. I also hadn’t known that there was an international school like that in Freiburg. It was really interesting because it felt like you were going into another world.
It’s cool that they speak English with each other.
It was inspiring to hear those stories from the different people from different countries and their culture. It clarified the privilege that we have with our education in Germany. It was also interesting to see the different buildings and the garden from close by because normally we see it just from the Dreisam.
The stories of the different students were interesting because they told us something personal and explained why they have a certain opinion. I liked the campus because there were many animals and a garden. It was also interesting to hear that the students care for the animals.
I liked that they all were really nice and open.
The guide of our group was very nice and he explained everything well and was open to questions.
The school ground was pretty and the big garden was really impressive.
I really liked the concept of the school. The fact that it’s an international school gives a lot of students an opportunity.The people that study there will be the next members of international associations such as the CNU (= Conseil national des universités).
