Invitation letter to Poznan Meeting

Invitation letter to Uden

Dear Comenius LIVE participants,

You are more than welcome at the program in Uden from 24 January till 29 January 2015. We are going to talk about the subject Justice and Crime where the students will get a lot of information about cybercrime.

The first day the student will get an introduction in the Dutch law system at the University of Law in Nijmegen city.

We’ll visit The Hague, the government centre of The Netherlands. There we will attend an interactive program at the Cybercrime Academy.  

At the end of this 3 schooldays-journey the students are going to play the roles of lawyers and judges situating a lawsuit.

On the last evening we will have dinner in a nice restaurant Bella Italia in Uden. It’s a good moment to reflect on what we have learned.

Don’t forget to take some warm clothes with you. The weather forecast predicted some cold, winter days. Brrr! But don’t bother: We are going to give you a warm welcome in Uden!

We look forward to seeing you!

 

Bon Voyage/Goede reis/ Enjoy your journey

Invitation to Germany

Dear Comenius participants,

Our topic for the days from the 25th/26th to the 30th of October 2014 is “Environment and Sustainability”.

We’ll visit the “Ruhrgebiet”, the Ruhr area, to see German power stations and big companies and from there we’ll also go on a short trip to the centre of Cologne. Furthermore we’ll visit the German energy provider “RWE”.

Of course we’ll also do some work at school and for our final discussion on Wednesday we’ve invited a very special guest.

On the last evening (Wednesday) there will be a European evening: everybody of you is invited to cook or bring something that is typical for your country. So if you want you can bring something for that evening, but perhaps you can also ask your host family to buy something in a supermarket.

Here in Germany it is most of the time really rainy and a little bit cold at the end of October, so it would be better not to forget water-proof clothes. But sometimes it can also be still sunny and nice. We’ll see!

We Germans are really pleased to welcome you here in Rees!

Many greetings from Germany and we are looking forward to seeing you soon!
