IDO
Experience report from My
My first week in Berlin has passed by so quickly. I only have five more days left during which I will try to engage with different people as much as possible.
The IDO superintendent has told us that we are all winners already, as the motto is “Participation is everything!”. It is not a competition, where you constantly fight against each other or take it dead seriously. We are having the best time together. I find it great that I can always learn new interesting things from the other participants. “Participation is everything!” Yes, that really is correct.
Of course, we also have to concentrate on the competition, in order to be able to give our very best. We visited some workshops (creative writing, presentation and theater) the first couple of days, which I found really cool. We could therefore prepare much better for the competition, whose first part started with a wall paper. Afterwards we received a subject for each level of difficulty and held presentations about each of these subjects. We are already finished with presenting now and tomorrow begins the last part, the “quiz”.
It is fascinating that I could already detect differences between Vietnam and Germany since my first few days. All together, I adore everything here.
Best regards from Berlin!
