Bericht über das Netzwerkseminar „Blog On – E^27+x=? – Where does Europe end? EU enlargement and Social Media: a web project!“ vom 18. bis 24. 09.2011

Am Sonntag, dem 18. September, traten wir zu viert die kurze Reise nach Bad Marienberg an. Wir, das sind Sabine Wilke, Julian Behringer, Florian Buchmann und ich. Wir sahen dem Seminar mit gemischten Gefühlen entgegen, da wir alle nicht wussten, was auf uns zukommen würde.
Als wir ankamen, hörten wir bereits ein osteuropäisches Sprachenwirrwarr und sahen neugierige und aufgeregte Jugendliche umherlaufen. Die erste gemeinsame Aktivität war erst einmal das Abendessen, bei dem uns bewusst wurde, wie viel eigentlich 60 Leute sind. Zu dem Zeitpunkt war es für mich noch undenkbar, dass wir als Gruppe zusammenwachsen könnten. Den restlichen Abend hatten wir nach einer kurzen Einführung in das Programm zur freien Verfügung. Schüchtern machte sich unsere deutsche Clique, zu der sich noch zwei Idar-Obersteiner gesellt hatten, auf den Weg in unseren Aufenthaltsraum.

I know, after reading the title of this post many expect the / a video to follow. I am sorry to disappoint you. This post is just a trailer! A plain old teaser, written to inform you about the event to come – a video production by Kleinlaut. We expect Lukas Ullrich to finish his work sometime during October (probably at the end of it). Just to make you wait for it: IT’S GOING TO BE GOOD! We saw the raw material and we thought that Lukas shot really nice pictures. At the end of his 3 days in the seminar he had 75 GB audio-visual material. You can imagine what that means – lots of sorting out! As soon as we have the video, we’ll tell you. Thx, by the way, for agreeing to host Lukas and his camera over the week.
