This colourful high school brought me new knowledge, methodologies, and friends. My German colleagues welcomed me warmly and constantly helped me on my way through the classrooms, accompanying me in and out of school. In the green corridors I moved and attended various classes and learned from teachers who carry out collaborative and interactive activities. I feel grateful that they let me attend their classes, to get better practice in the future and analyse the German Educational System.

Here, students show their respect every day and session and participate in the common process of education, producing speeches or correcting other classmates. They have bus stops inside the classes and they show their hands and fingers to take tests without saying a word or leave, with a silent code. And at the end, it is time to clean the space.
During the afternoons, my colleagues and me visited Cologne, the beautiful Cathedral, Hohe Domkirche Sankt Petrus, and the old town, and we participated in Didacta where all kind of technologies, organizations, and companies that a say in education have, come together. We had a shocking experience in Tagebau Hambach, a huge opencast mine that extracts lignite, the biggest in Europe. And one evening we, the Erasmus Team, joined and had a lovely time for dinner.
Besides, I had the opportunity to have fun in the daily life of a German family thanks to the generosity of those t opened the door of their houses to me. I took advantage of everything I could and at the end of the day I feel I had a splendid trip with magnificent company.
