Monday, 5 October 2026 \u2013 A school tour, presentations about the home cities, an escape room about electronic devices and a trip back in time at the Thurzo-Fugger exhibition: the first project day prepared everyone for the rest of the week.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 8 a.m. everyone met at the host school, Z\u0160 Moskovsk\u00e1 2. The head teacher, Mgr. Marta Melicherov\u00e1, gave an official welcome. Then the Slovak students showed their guests around the school: the classrooms, the science rooms, the school garden and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, the German and Polish groups presented their home cities. Augsburg was the city of the Fuggers. Jakob Fugger managed his large trading company from there. Krak\u00f3w was an important centre for transport and trade in the Fugger network. „It really helped us to understand how important the Fuggers were for our region in the past,“ the reporting team writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the break, there was Kofola, a very popular Slovak soft drink, and Horalky wafers. Then the teachers organised games to help the students from the three countries get to know each other. After a round of introductions, mixed teams took part in an escape room. To get out, they had to answer quiz questions about electronic devices \u2013 the main topic of the whole week. For lunch, the school canteen served pancakes with strawberries and chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n
