Transatlantic Journal Exhibition opens in Oberhausen Germany on February 4, 2011


In November 2009, high school students from both Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Oberhausen, Germany launched the Transatlantic Journal Project. 39 blank journals were purchased and exchanged. Working in collaboration with each other, the students began to share writing and artwork on the pages of the journals.

There were no rules for the project; students were simply instructed to express themselves to each other using words and images.

Organized by Greensburg Salem High School students, this exhibition features a selection of journal entries and the journals will be on view at the LVR-Industriemuseum beginning February 4 through March 27, 2011.

Join the opening celebration on February 3 at 5 PM at the LVR-Industriemuseum. Everybody is welcome!
