Student intern in our project
Moudr Ajaini, a pupil at Parkschule Weimar, completed a one-week pupil internship in our project. From 10 to 14 June 2024, he got to know the building, completed tasks and gained insights into our work processes.
In this context, he also accompanied our colleague Frank König on his seminar »Deutschland, einig Vaterland? Project days on the state of German unity«, which he organised with young people from Eisenach. »On Wednesday, we were in Erfurt at the Andreasstraße memorial and education centre, and then we had a discussion with a contemporary witness about the GDR. On Thursday, we were in Eisenach and asked people there how they experienced the GDR. It was great, thank you very much for the wonderful week!« said Moudr, looking back on his work placement.
We regularly give pupils and graduates of our qualification programme the opportunity to complete an internship with us in the project and at the EJBW, and will continue to do so in the future.
