The Traditional Trip to Europe

The end of 9th grade at Aregnazan is not only the challenge of the exams, but also time for farewells. The class teachers, who have led the students throughout their journey of nine years at school, finish their mission with them. They bid their goodbyes to the students, leading them to the most exciting trip of their life: the traditional trip to Europe. For three or four weeks, the students visit different, mostly German-speaking cities throughout Europe, exchange experiences with their peers in various Waldorf schools, have performances of circus, eurythmy, folk music and dances.

The two classes had different routes this year. Within the frameworks of their trip, grade 9a visited Munich, Vienna, Budapest, Dresden and Prague, while the parallel class traveled to Berlin, Pforzheim, Stuttgart, Freiburg, Bad Wildbad, Colmar  and Barcelona.

Alongside the joy of spending time together, the students had the chance to see some masterpieces of the greatest painters at the museums of art, and the wonders of inventions at the museums of science of those cities.

The trip instills our students with confidence to know themselves and the world. This is the first big step to cross the threshold of high school, where they are promoted to be well-rooted and prepared to independently start life.
