didacta in Stuttgart

 
Last month I went to the didacta in Stuttgart which is the biggest exposition / exhibition for everything that has to to with education, learning and teaching. I went there by bus and at the biginning I still secretly laughed at all the women coming with a suitcase to the bus. Later that day I understood why they came with a huge suitcase: So much material, free books and so on.

 I took a lot material on inclusion.

 

Of course there were a lot of post-its, notebooks, pencils etc. to take away. ;-)

New English schoolbooks and workbooks (also interesting for a French teacher).

French schoolbooks, maps, CD's, workbooks, booklets...

 

 History material: 4 DVD on the GDR, workbooks, teacher stuff, books...

Every publishing company gave their stuff away with a nice little bag. I can cover all my walls with them now.

Apart from all the good material and special offers, the exhibition was a good opportunity to get in contact with some really interesting people from the publishing company etc. and have some interesting conversation on teaching with them.

Grüezi mitenand...

 Zürich - A city I've never visited before. But now I had a reason to go there. My very good friend Tanja who I know since we both still had diapers lives there with his boyfriend Hannes. The Fernbus brought me there.

Saturday: Discovering the centre of Zürich with Tani and Hannes. Beautiful Zürich seen from the ETH.  

Tanja and Hannes in front of the Grossmünster. Zwingli was from Zürich.

At the Zürichsee - doing one of my favourite activities: Imitating statues.

Gottfried Keller is apparently from Zürich. Thomas Mann was buried here. Tina Turner lives near Zürich... All those VIP make me sick. ;-)

On our way up the Uetliberg.

Looking at Downtown Zürich from the Uetliberg. We had awesome weather.

Zürich was so great because of them!!!

Awwwww..... my favourite neighbour during school: Tani!

Drinking Aguardiente from Colombia. What a night!

Sunday: A long walk alongside the Zürichsee until we got to a little park where we just relaxed, listened to the street musicians and tried to climb modern statues:



A very good example of pure elegance!!! ;-)

 

Before leaving Zurich I discoverd that statue of Niki de Saint Phalle at the train station. I saw her numerous statues already in Paris.

Merci vielmals Tani and Hannes for your hospitality and all the great moments shared.
