Form 10, Progymnasium Altshausen
English summary
My name is Julia Hugger, I am 15 years old and I am a participant in the Erasmus+ Project. When I’m older I’d like to become a photographer. It’s one of my favourite hobbies and I love doing it. I’m a patient person. I like it to work in a team with others. And especially I love to travel. It was a good decision to join the project. I’ve learned a lot about other cultures, but also about myself.
At our school we’ve got a subject called BOGY (Berufsorientierung Gymnasium). There I had good chances to find out more about my future and what I’d like to do as a job. The different project activities, for example, the placement I did in a photo studio, helped me to follow my dream.
In fall last year, we visited the BIZ (Berufsinformationszentrum) in Ravensburg. We could do a test on a Computer, which helped me to find out more about my own skills and what kind of job fits to me. You could directly see what skills you need for which jobs. In February I visited Cento, a village in Italy. There we saw how other countries do their project “fit-for-job”. It was interesting to visit the different factories but also to visit the school there. The first factory which we visited was Ducati. Everyone knows the brand; they are building and selling motorcycles. On Tuesday we did a workshop where we have learned something about mosaic and how to do it. On Wednesday we visited Ferrari. In the museum we could see lots of cars and later in the workshop we did our own pitstop. Thursday and Friday we stayed in Cento. There we visited the schools and the village.
My host family and all the other people around me were so nice. I enjoyed the time there a lot, so I was very sad when I had to leave. Also my English skills got better. I don’t regret the exchange and I would always do it again if I could.
