The Best Moments of C1
The first mobility
of the project "Better Before"
On Sunday, 18th March 2019, 5 students from the Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium went together with Mrs Gründler and Mrs Böhmert to the airport in Berlin to fly to Luxembourg concerning the first meeting of the project ‘’Better Before’’. We arrived at half past 8 at the airport in Luxembourg and were fetched by our host families, where we were allowed to stay during the whole week.
On Monday morning, all students and teachers from the
partner countries (Greece, Spain, Lithuania and Luxembourg) met at the Lycée
Robert Schuman School in the centre of Luxembourg, where we finally encountered
all the other students and teachers for the very first time. A boy from
Luxembourg called Sharel and the Luxembourgish teacher welcomed us well and all
participants got a students’ identification card so we could go by bus or train
for free every day if we wanted to.
After that, we had breakfast and went on a sightseeing tour
around the city. We saw many attractions, for example the ‘‘Gëlle Fra‘‘, a
golden statue from the wartime or the Adolphe-Bridge, from the 20th century.
We returned to the school around lunchtime to have lunch at
the Lycée Robert Schuman. At the end of the day, we had a discussion with the
artist Mikhail Karikis and a therapist about the impacts of pressure, which was
also the theme which the Luxembourgish group focused on, and we were divided
into groups of 4 or 5 students to discuss it and at the same time it set the
communication between the different countries into motion.
The school day ended around 4pm and we were fetched by our
host families again who we spent the rest of the day with.
On Tuesday, we went to the Data Centre where we were
clarified of the impacts of using social media and the consequences of posting
stuff online. We were allowed for a run through the centre where they explained
to us where all data is saved and what they do to keep it safe or even safer.
For lunch we visited another school in Luxembourg where we
were also part of a workshop by 2 German women that asked us questions which
broached the issue of social media and online relationships.
Thereafter, we headed for going to the Laser Game, where we
all had a very great time. It was almost everyone’s first time playing it and
we did very well. We were split into 2 teams and fought against each other.
Shortly after, we got a certificate.
We again spent time with our host families in the evenings.
On Wednesday, the Luxembourgish group had planned an
excursion, which was meant to be a surprise but almost everyone knew about it
before. We travelled to France to visit the Zoo in Amneville. Everyone was so
excited, because it was the first time going to France for some of the
students.
When we were exploring the Zoo, most of us noticed that the
cages were really small but they still had very many animals, so we believed
that some animals even looked kind of sad. We spent the entire afternoon in
France and afterwards we were supposed to go back to our host families.
For the ending of this incredible week we went ice skating
and ate sushi all together.
On Friday, we summed up the whole week and talked about our
conclusions, what we learned during the week, what we got out of the project
and what we would do better.
We had lunch again for one last time and then we had to say
goodbye. It was a really emotional farewell and some of us even had to cry
because we didn’t want to say goodbye and wanted to stay there.
We made so many amazing friendships during the week, we
learned to come out of our comfort zone and we even talked to strangers we
hadn’t known before.
It was a really great and awesome week for all of us.

Project Expectations
BETTER BEFORE: A teenage-made project about the realities of
young generation.
We are a group of Lithuanian students from Vilnius Vasily
Kachialov gymnasium, who have come together to show the realities of teenagers'
life by artistic means. We are committed to empowering young people to have an
open mind to new ideas, find their voice to talk about problems and how to
tackle them. We want to change the mainstream view society has on young
generation, bring awareness and stimulate a change around the issue of young
generation by providing a true picture of the reality we are discovering
through this project.
Every day teenagers are struggling to get to
grips with how they fit into the increasingly complex modern world — contending
with things like intense pressure at school, bullying or problems at home,
feeling of being different’ all while being bombarded by social media. The
modern world has brought new pressures for children, tension in
everyday life caused by great expectations from their parents, teachers and
friends, worries about their responsibilities in the future, high cost
of living and education all along with physiological aspects of maturing, disorders
like anxiety, depression and loneliness became the most common problems
teenagers are dealing nowadays. Our goal in this project is to study and
investigate (by artistic means) which approaches can work best for young people
and help them overcome the problems in a world of rapid change.
This project is not just to make youngsters to feel better
in the short-term but to be better equipped for later in life.
