24. August 2025: Der erste Morgen am KLG

On Sunday, after our adventurous sleepover in the gymnasium, we started the day with a short yoga session. We relaxed with some meditation, followed by two yoga flows. The Indian students were used to it, but it was a nice new experience for the German students. The day continued with a German breakfast and team-building activities, such as building spaghetti towers. This was a great way to get to know each other better, because that afternoon we had to choose our exchange partner.

But before that, we had an Indian lunch (with a German twist), where the German students learned how to eat with their hands. Before the final decision, there was one more item on the daily schedule: the school rally.
The Indian students got to know the KLG, and the German students learned some interesting facts about the school.
Then came the big reveal: which host family would each student be staying with? Most of the partners had already been decided, though, so everyone was happy with their choice. And so the first exciting afternoon and evening with the host families began ...

25. August 2025: Großer Auftakt in der Aula mit Orchester und Fernsehen

Da es an diesem Tag unterschiedliche Aktivitäten am Nachmittag gab, geben wir hier zu diesem Tag zwei Blogbeiträge wieder

We all 20 indian members went to the confernce room on the 4. floor with our tradional dresses. We all took nice photos.
After this we went to the Auditorium attend the welcome adress for us. Our principal Mr Walther gave a welcome speech and after their two teachers, Mr Adhi and Mrs Sangeetha had also spoken, we were called up with our exchange partners and given our ,exchange-jackets'. They're actually very nice: blue and with our two school logos. Our junior band also played for our indian guests and after this ceremony, we had a mediation, where we spoke about our wishes, expectations and fears.  And we were even on Television!
After lunch in the cafetaria and a fancy Zumba dance class, our afternoon began. My exchange partner and I went out for ice cream with a few others from the exchange as a group. We visited the famous ,,Krämerbrücke" and sat together on the water. After we got home quickly, we went back into town. There we had a tiny tour over the Domplatz and the Petersberg. On the Petersberg we had a great chat and we enjoyed swinging at the ,sky swing' as the sun went down. All in all it was a very nice first day after our crazy, huge sleep-over at the weekend and I enjoyed hanging out with my exchange partner :)

On Monday, the Indian guest students were welcomed in our assembly hall. The orchestra played and several people spoke. The television was also there. In the end, we all got jackets for the exchange. We really liked them. Afterwards there was a "round table discussion". We talked about our wishes, goals and any problems. For lunch, we all ate together in our cafeteria. The German students then had to go their normal class and the Indian students could choose an activity.

We then went pedal boating with 2 other host families in Hohenfelden. That was great fun. At the end of the day, we went to the restaurant and slept straight afterwards.

26. August 2025: Deutsch und Geschichte in der Schule und in der Stadt

On Tuesday we got to school at 7.20 am. both of our classes started at 7.30, so we split up and went to participate in our lessons. The first and second lesson for the indian students was german with Elisabeth, for some german students maths. In the break the german stundents picked up their host partners and went to the supermarket Tegut. After the break the indian students had two history lessons with Mr K. the indian students learnt about the berlin wall, historical incidents through cards and maps and discussed about the country's past. Some german students had english classes. After the break, all of us went to have lunch together. After the lunch the german students had to get back to their classes and the indian students went to have a city tour. The indian students vistited the "Krämerbrücke" and learnt about the shop present there. Later we visited the "Petersberg" and saw the view of Erfurt. The indian students learnt about the story of the soldiers to protect the city. At 3 pm the german students came to pick up the indian students to spend the afternoon together. We had a wonderfull evening at the sushi shop. The indian students tried new dishes together and on our way back home we had ice cream. We went home full and happy.
