Impressions from the seminar from 16 to 20 June 2014
The mentors, team leaders, or buddies come from the Hufeland School in Buch, the Alexander Pushkin School in Lichtenberg, and the Wilma Rudolph School in Zehlendorf. What unites them all is the desire to provide a warm welcome to the new seventh-grade students. To this end, they spent the week practicing speaking in front of large groups and independently developing and leading games. Respectful interaction was also addressed through appropriate exercises and constant reflection on the group process. With this preparation, the mentors can be a valuable support to the newcomers when they return to their schools, thus contributing to an even better school culture. We wish them much success in their work.
