Tuesday 26.4.2022
At the first day I went to school by train with my host Nicola. First we talked about environmental protection: how we can do something for it. After lunch they showed us a part of the school like the web devices and the chemistry lab. In the undergroung of the school they had many old looms.
The school is famous for teaching fashion, design, textiles and chemistry 🧪.(ähnlich wie ein Berufskolleg in Deutschland 🇩🇪)
At 12:30 we was ready for lunch at the school mensa. They prepared noodles with ham for us and then meetballs with potatoes in tomato sauce. After lunch we had a guided tour. They showed us a church, monuments and a good place with a great view about the sea . After the school project I ate an ice cream with Nicola and took the train back to home. At home I had a delicious dinner: bread with salami and salads. The rest of the evening we played videogames and talked in English.
After that we went to a class room were we watched 2 short Films about Environmental Sustainability. After that we had lunch in the Cafeteria and started later a guided tour in Como. After the trip we walked back to our homes with our host brother. In the evening I enjoyed an italian evening in my family.

We started out with a normal day at school, finishing our projects up with our partners and consulting with the teachers. Once finished with such, we proceeded with the school lunch which consisted of Gniocchi with tomato sauce and for the second dish, chicken with salad. As we prepared ourselves by getting our bags from the class room, we started to head out to the Silk museum. The entrance is beautiful as soon as you step a foot in there. You’re greeted with a variety of fabric on the right side, a mannequin and a vendor of ties. The further we got into the tour the better it got, us being able to learn more and more about the history of silk.
Did you know that silk comes from a worm! Once we were finished we were free to roam around Como, exploring a bit on our own.

Today we met each other at 8 o‘ clock First of all. Then we revised the topic to the environmental sustainibility: What’s „Agenda 2030“?-It’s a project which is going to reduce the climate change. We kept on preparing our presentation with our hosts.
From 10.00 am to 10.45 am we watched the chemical reaction from cyclohexane and water to nylon.
After that we took a break by eating some snacks which took 15 minutes.
For an hour and 30 minutes we had a look into microscopes to find some microorganisms.
At half past 12 our Italian-German group had lunch. There were “pasta” and salad with chicken. Later we were int the museum to silk from 14.00 pm to 16.00 pm: silk is a material which is produced by silkworms and are used for producing clothes especially.
Those are eggs which are going to cooked so that the silkworms are dead and you have got silk at least.

At first we went at 9 a clock with a big boat to Bellagio and took a look at the city. At 11:10am started a tour through Villa Serbelloni.
The tour guide explained something to us about the history, owner and buildings there. So I learned that there was american women who visited the place, where is today the old villa. It was so beautiful to her and she felt so comfortable, that she bought this place to live there. After a few years she married a prince and 1995 she gave this as a gift to the Rockefeller foundation. Today it’s still owned by this foundation.
When we went out of the Villa and her big garden, we had 30 minutes free time, in which some of us we ate delicious ice cream. At 1:30pm we came together to go on the next boat which brought us to the next Villa, which is called Villa Carlotta. We had there a tour guide too and she told something about the past, garden, art and figures of and in the villa. So I learned there, that the owner was a women who bought the Villa to live there and when she got older she gave that as a wedding present to her daughter. This daughter was called Carlotta and she married 1847 prince George the 2nd. Carlotta died young and her husband married again but he was still thinking about his last wife so he named this building Villa Carlotta. At the end we went 2 hours back to Como. In the evening Mara, Matteo, Alice, Nico and me went out to eat pizza. So this day was very cool, I learned a lot and we had a lot of fun.

LEONARDO DA VINCI MUSEUM
The first thing we did was take the train to Milano. Afterwards we walked to the museum Da Vinci is known for being a siencist, a painter, he was good in technology and he had much material tust we used today. Glass doesn't exist in his time.
One of da Vinci’s most famous inventions, the flying machine (also known as the "ornithopter") ideally displays his powers of observation and imagination, as well as his enthusiasm for the potential of flight. The design for this invention is clearly inspired by the flight of winged animals, which da Vinci hoped to replicate. In fact, in his notes, he mentions bats, kites and birds as sources of inspiration.
ART MUSEUM
After the 2nd world War the art completely changed because some of the artists died or losing friends or family members. The pictures have a special story, that's because the colours are very different and a bit strange. In Milano there are a few Art universities. An artist work with plastic and fire to paint his pictures. Another artist work with newspaper. He tears it up and then sticks it on the picture.
After that we all walked in groups through Milano. It was great fun. We ate slush ice cream and saw a lot of things.
At the end of the day I went out to eat with my host family. We had pizza and tiramisu for dessert. It was a great day!

30/04/2022 Saturday
At first we went to the school to present our work: it was interesting and we know many facts about the AGENDA 2030 now.
After that we went to a train, which drove us up the hill. On the way up you could see all the city. It was very beautiful but I could imagine that it would be better looking at night or when the sun is going down.
When we were up there we walked a bit and we saw a cute little cat that we pet. After that we walked 10 min to a restaurant where we eat polenta. Poleta (Maisgriessbrei) was really weird: the consistency and the taste is a bit unusual.
After half an hour we went back to the train and drove back to school .As we arrived we needed to wait outside the school for 15 minutes because there weren’t ready to let us in. We walked into the classroom and there were adults (singers,teachers and parents)
As we sat down the singers started to sing. It was nice and really an opera experience. In a little ceremony the teacher gave us a Diplom and she placed some snacks on the table. After this official end we were allowed to leave the class and a little group of the Italian and German students went on a market to buy some things. Alice,Vittoria,Sophie and I walked to Alice’s dad because he cooked for us lasagna…
The lasagna was great and really tasty and in the evening we went with the same group bowling this was really funny.
I had allot of fun in this week! :)

On Sunday, May 1st, 2022, I got up at 9 a.m. After everyone woke up I packed my suitcase. while I was packing my suitcase, my host family had a barbecue. When we finished eating, it was around 12:10 p.m., we got ready and drove to school. We all met where we were at school, from there we went to Malpensa airport. Arrived at the airport we said goodbye and checked in our suitcases. After that we went through the security check and when we were done we ate something. With a bit of a delay, we took off at around 5 p.m. and landed at around 6:35 p.m. Our parents picked us up there and we drove home.
