7 Hamburg Quality of life in a waterside Metropolis Hamburg is also called the gate to the world. The city is the second biggest in Germany and has a lot to offer: impressive sights, a harbour mood and a multicultural atmosphere, an exciting history and interesting stories and so much more. Beside this Hamburg is also a very green city on the water is not just and of the most beautiful cities in Germany. Even the normally reticent citizens of the Hanseatic city have difficulty hiding their pride about "their" city. Dresden Saxony's baroque capital at the Elbe river The beautiful city at the Elbe river belongs through the wealth of its cultural and art treasures as well as its attractive situation to the prettiest cities of Europe. Dresden has been the residence of sovereigns and kings already since The most beautiful buildings of the baroque old town were created during the regency of August the Strong ( ), who was simultaneously also king of Poland. He was a great sponsor of the arts and enriched the saxon treasury with numerous precious objects. About 3000 works out of this collection are issued in the green vault. It is the largest art collection of this type in Europe. of the most famous buildings is also the Zwinger. In its architecture, the baroque building is modelled on a Roman amphitheater. Another highlight is the Semper Opera house, the Brühl's Terraces, numerous historic restaurants or the spectacular nature called Elbsandstandgebirge. Munich- the capital of Bavaria and a must-see for everyone who wants to get to know the south of Germany There is no place better to experience the typical Bavarian flair and the warm character of Bavarian s than Munich. Munich combines various stylistic periods into a stunning mix of historical and modern architecture. King Ludwig I influenced Munichs townscape with his pompous and generous architecture with broad avenues and the contrast between classicistic restraint and baroque profusion. Bold creativity and innovation have set new architectural accents all over the city. The world-renowned tent roof, the landmark of the Olympic Park, inspires spectators even four decades after its construction. The Allianz Arena is regarded Germany s most beautiful and thrilling soccer stadium. The recently opened BMW Welt is a milestone of dynamic architecture. The best of all? Try a real German Biergarten and you would like to stay forever. 7

Sind das die Hipster oder doch Berliner? Wir werden euch den Unterscheid zeigen. Mittwoch: Der alte Fritz und Preußen- wer sie nicht kennt, weiß nichts über Berlin.

56 TRIP TO HAMBURG AND BERLIN - 3 days Orientation courses and intercultural trainings Accommodation and full board Public transport Entrance fees 24h supervision by qualified personnel city rallies Fact-sheets, hand-outs & materials Welcome Party ticket to host family and detailed information how to get there. Students will not need to change the train without our help. Hamburg - also called the gate to the world The city is the second biggest in Germany and has a lot to offer: impressive sights, a harbour mood and a multicultural atmosphere, an exciting history and interesting stories and so much more. What was the Hamburg Firestorm? What does Hansestadt mean? Where do people relax in Hamburg? What is their favourite food? What is a Fischkopp? These and many more questions we will answer together. We will see the city center, the town hall, the Speicherstadt, Hafen City, the old Elbtunnel, go on a boat trip on the river Elbe and Berlin is a very special metropolis and appeals because of its unique charm. An unbelievable number of sights can be seen, reflecting the mind-set and Zeitgeist of the city and at the same time the rich history and drama of the 20th century. From Friday evening until Sunday afternoon we will try to experience as much as possible of the unique atmosphere. Amongst other sites, we will visit the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie and see what remains of the Berlin Wall. On a Berlin-rally you will explore the city`s sights by yourself and also have some free time to do your Xmas-shopping on one of the beautiful Christmas markets. Depending on weather and the interests of the group we will go to one of the great Museums Berlin is famous for, explore Berlin by boat or go on a tour through the Berlin graffite art scene, for which the city is famous. MORE ABOUT OUR PLACEMENTS Sending your own child abroad can be a big step. In order to assure the natural parents that their child is in good hands with us, we pay special attention to the following points: 1. Careful selection and counselling of the host family We pay a personal visit to our host families and advise them on the student exchange in a two- to threehour conversation. During this visit, we take a look at their home, the surrounding neighbourhood and the local school. In the course of the conversation, we do not solely explain the exchange programme to the host family but we also gather impressions on whether the family is prepared to host an exchange 56

57 student. Experience has shown that in addition to hospitality and willingness, openness and flexibility are indispensable. If, for example, expectations of the exchange student are too high or we notice there are family difficulties, then we do not consider these families suitable hosts. It is also very important to us that the families trust us, so they contact us if difficulties arise. 2. Care of the host family and exchange student Two to three weeks after the arrival of the exchange student, we pay another visit to the family and get in contact with his supervising teacher. During the visit we have a joint conversation and afterwards talk to the student and the family individually. In case we detect any misunderstandings or problems, we help to find a solution. One example could be, that the family needs to set up clearer rules or they need to encourage their student to express his wishes. We will talk about expectations, perceptions and cultural aspects. In the end, it is these conversations and reflections that allow both parties to develop their intercultural skills. In the course of one semester we arrange three telephone appointments. This constant contact serves to show the student, that we re there for him. He should contact us at any time if he has any problems so that we can put him in touch with a member of staff that is familiar to him. If it is necessary, we will pay another visit to the family at any time to make sure that a solution to the problem is found. We can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Everyone is given the telephone number of our office as well as our mobile phone numbers. 3. It doesn t always have to work out Mostly, things are running smoothly and both parties benefit from the exchange. However, it can happen that despite a wonderful family and a highly motivated and open-minded student, one of the two of them is unhappy with the arrangement. Of course, we are trying to understand both parties and work together with them on finding a solution. But if, for example, the mutual trust has been violated or the chemistry is just not right, it is best to change host families. Naturally, we want the students to know that a host family is no hotel room that can be cancelled or easily exchanged. On the other hand, we don t want to enforce an unhappy stay and we are open to necessary changes of host families. Sometimes, the student only needs a second chance to show himself from his best side. And this chance should be given to him. 4. Regular reports from the beginning on Once we have found a family for the student, he will get a detailed placement letter. In this letter we will introduce the host family, the region and the school the student will visit. We want the student and the natural parents to know as exactly as possible where the journey is heading and to get an idea of the new environment. After the arrival of the student, we will visit the host family again. This visit will be documented in writing. Another detailed report will follow after the first half of the programme is over and at any time problems arise that could be of relevance to the natural parents. 5. Worries, problems and questions Worries, problems and questions are taken very seriously by us - no matter whether they come from students, natural parents of host families. We will use our years of expertise to counsel and advise as best we can. However, the most important thing is to listen to all parties. No one knows his child as well as its natural parents. Only the exchange student himself can let others know how he feels. The host family is best able to estimate how they perceive the child in the new surroundings. The same situation can be described very differently. We know there is no such thing as a right estimation and therefore try to take all sides and information into account when trying to find a solution. In order for this to work, good cooperation of all parties involved is necessary. * In favour of a more comfortable reading flow, we have only used the masculine. 57

73 OUR CITY TOUR ON SATURDAY At first we will see the Frauenkirche and Neumarkt Square. The Frauenkirche is Dresden's most famous symbol. This monumental Protestant church was bombed to ruins in 1945, then left as a war monument for more than 40 years and rebuilt starting from the 1990s. On the surrounding Neumarkt square, the typical Baroque gabled houses were rebuilt section by section and by forming the old town once again, they are the pride and joy of the citizens of Dresden. The Fürstenzug, or Procession of Princes, a 101-metre mural tiled with Meissen porcelain, links the Neumarkt and the Royal Palace. The Royal Palace is one of the most impressive pieces of architecture in Dresden. This Renaissance building was constructed in the 15th century as a new center of power for the Saxon electoral princes and kings. Today, it is a museum complex for a state art collection. If you want see famous paintings and beautiful treasure collections, you will have a chance to go inside on Sunday. Today, we will continue to the Sanctissimae Trinitatis Cathedral - Saxony's largest ecclesiastical building. aubiko e.v., address: Stückenstraße 74, D Hamburg, phone: +49 (0) , mobile: +49 (0) fax: +49 (0) , info@aubiko.de, website: 73

74 OUR CITY TOUR ON SATURDAY One of Dresde s most famous buildings is the Semper Opera House and we will, of course, pass it on our tour. The Semper Opera House is considered one of the world's loveliest and is the residence and main venue for Dresden's Saxon State Orchestra. Right next to it is the most significant building of the late Baroque period - the Zwinger. It is a composite work of art combining architecture, sculpture and painting and hosts the Old Masters Picture Gallery, the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments and the Porcelain Collection. Behind the Zwinger and Semper Opera is The Brühl's Terrace. The most architecturally beautiful section of the Elbe's banks in Dresden was laid out between 1739 and 1748 as Count Brühl's private pleasure gardens, and is known as the Balco y of Europe. From the terrace, you can access the Art Academy, Dresden Fortress and the Albertinum. At the end of our tour, we will meet Augustus the Strong the king responsible for Dresde s unique opulence of architecture, art and culture. The golden statue shows Augustus as powerfully as he wanted to be seen and is called the Golde Horse a. After this very impressive inside view of history, we will explain what the Blue Wo der of Dresden is. You will also hear about the flood, the meaning of the Elbe river and about the current political developments in Dresden that raise a lot of attention in Germany and abroad. Afterwards, we will have time in the afternoon for shopping and the Christmas market. aubiko e.v., address: Stückenstraße 74, D Hamburg, phone: +49 (0) , mobile: +49 (0) fax: +49 (0) , info@aubiko.de, website: 74

84 WELCOME TO PRAGUE! During its one thousand years of existence, the city grew from a small settlement to a multicultural capital of the modern European state Czech Republic. Prague is also known as the City of Gold because the evening sun gives its rooftops a golden glow. The turbulent history of the city included three centuries under the Habsburg monarchy, six years of Nazi occupation and four decades of communism. Despite all the historical changes, Prague has maintained its charm and beautiful architecture and has now become a tourist magnet. Today, the city is not only a literal textbook of styles throughout the centuries but it also has a very lively, cosmopolitan side, just waiting to be explored... Photo by DAVID ILIFF.

Please let us know your exact arrival details in Munich as soon as possible. We also need your current mobile phone number! Also make sure that your mobile is charged during the journey.

One of our employees will take all the students that are leaving until am to their respective bus or train. Why is there no flight to and from Munich? Before students can register for the trip, they have to discuss their participation with their host family, their parents and their school. Based on our experience, this takes so long that there is not much time left before the trip starts. On many occasions, we hoped that students would register in time so we could book tickets for them. Since flight tickets are non-transferrable and expensive, we can only book them after receiving your confirmation as well as full name, date of birth etc. Taking the bus is more flexible and we can take those students that decide to join the trip more spontaneously. Is the transport from the host family to Munich and back included in the price? No. Since all exchange students arrive from different places, the journey to Munich is organized by the students and host families themselves. If there are problems or questions, we are always available and will try to search for an affordable and acceptable solution together. aubiko e.v., address: Stückenstraße 74, D Hamburg, phone: +49 (0) , mobile: +49 (0) fax: +49 (0) , info@aubiko.de, website:

The city is the second biggest in Germany and has a lot to offer: impressive sights, a harbour mood, a multicultural atmosphere, an exciting history, interesting stories and so much more. Beside this, Hamburg is also a very green city at the water and therefore one of the most beautiful cities in Germany.

Kiel has a long shipbuilding and naval tradition but today it is characterized by its vibrant student scene, laid-back lifestyle and urban flair.
