Erasmus in Germany

The last meeting of FINE Eramus project was held in Anton-Heilingbrunner-Schule Staatliche Realschule Wasserburg, Germany. Students, teachers and families were involved in the activities that took place over the week starting with the welcome of the principal of the school and a visit to the major. We learnt about Bavarian traditions and work on the topic of diversity and fake news. The week was started by some “get to know each other” activities as well as a visit through the city. Students visited important places in Bavaria in order to learn about the history and culture of the region. Regarding the diversity and fake news topic, we took a guided tour through the City Gallery of Wasserburg and got to know how the “Vielgastalter” organization work on tolerance and inclusion. Moreover, the organization “Colored glasses” gave us a workshop about tolerance. In order to work on media literacy on this mobility, we visited a local radio in Rosenheim so students could know how to create their podcast for the final product of the project. Students worked in groups in which they cooperated for its production, the specific topic for each group were:

  • Erasmus in general and our project
  • Seven dimensions of diversity
  • Fake news (stereotypes/prejudices) in context of diversity
  • Presentation of “Vielgastalter” organization and their work
  • Presentation of the organization “Colored glasses”
  • Strategies and reflections about what can be done to break fake news

In the end, we dedicated some time to reflection on our work and how diversity, stereotypes and prejudices affect society. Students learnt about the importance of distinguishing between fake news and real facts.
