The cooperation keeps on growing

On Thursday 25th in the morning Katie and Anita left Germany. Only a few hours later the Bridge Project went on. Once more we could welcome our teachers. This time a training about ”social networks“ took place.
Our partner school, the Heinrich-Böll-Gesamtschule, opened its doors so that we and the teachers from the other schools could use their computer room. Thanks for this!

And one more institution became a friend of our project: the LVR-Medienzentrum in Düsseldorf. Specialized on new media the media center turned out to be a perfect partner. The concept of our project was convincing and the professionals supported us with a trainer who talked about ”social networks“: about the status quo, about chances, but also about risks. It was very helpful.

By the way, the trainer of the media center joined our Facebook-Group and became a fan of us!
