We had a great time! We met lots of kind people here, in Spangenberg, which is a small town. We worked in different groups and these groups had different tasks and visited different places. One of the groups visited the Edeka, the other the B.Braun. On Friday we had a bowling party, after that we went to dance ♥. Finally, on Saturday we had a family day.
This trip was very very veyr very good. We made lots of friends, we would like to keep in touch, and we hope.....one day.....we...will meet again. We would like to have a student exchange programme, we would be happy if we had exchange students in Budapest.

Our visit to B-Braun
On Thursday 22th May 2014, our group visited the B-Braun factory. It was very interesting because we didn't know that this factory produced those kinds of products, that are used in hospitals. It was founded in 1839 by Mr Braun who bought a chemist of Melsungen and decided to produce fluid bottles for ill people who could not eat solid and needed to have intravenose therapy. The name comes from the son, Berhart Braun. 50% of the working staff are inhabitants from Melsungen. The firm gets 2000 applications every year from people who want to work here, foreign languages, English and German, maths are needed, then they have to pass a test and a personal interview. Most men get jobs in the technician centre and women between get jobs as commercials. Some of the skills they ask people are: knowledge about clinical nutrition, therapies, diseases, body composition and English. Creativity is also very important , having good ideas and knowing how to sell products are good qualities as well.
Mrs Anke Tessin, the mother of one student in Burgsitzschule, explained all about the philosophy and the production in this medical firm. Her presentation was great.
These are the types of bottles produced from the beginning up to the present day, 650,000 bottles are produced everyday and 1 million litres of water are needed.
There are people from 48 countries around the world who work here. We met a Taiwan worker who had studied pharmaco-economics and an Indian worker who had been working there for four years. The firm has also a lot os subsidiary places in 133countries around the world, such as Singapour, Hong Kong, Brasil and mexico City.Some key words that are considered important for the firm are tradition, future and sharing expertise.

Slovak team in Germany
Greatings from the Slovak team in Melsungen. We are very happy to be here. We worked together in mixed international groups on old jobs on Tuesday and on new jobs on Thursday. We visited the smith, baker, farmer and builder, learnt about jobs that do not exist any longer. We try to make things the old fashioned way to see, how hard the work was without modern technologies. We got the chance to see how these jobs are done now and compare it.
We talked about what could be improved in our school so we are better prepared for our future.
We have met lots of new friedns and very nice people. We have enjoyed staying with host families, learning about their life and habbits. We had lots of fun and we have learnt a lot about jobs, cultures of other countries and ourselves as well. THANK YOU!!!
