INTERNATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE
Essen
Tuesday, 10th May – Friday, 13th May 2016
GRASHOF GYMNASIUM
ESSEN, GERMANY

Theme: Ruhr Area
Zeche Zollverein - our landmark in Essen

Words of Welcome to our Dutch Partners
Dear students,
on behalf of our headmaster Mr. Rink we wish you welcome to Grashof
Gymnasium in Essen. We hope your stay will be enjoyable with your
German hosts.
Students, parents and teachers alike are proud to welcome our Dutch
guests from Pius X-College.
Essen is located in the Ruhr Area which used to be the industrial heartland
in Germany. It is now six years ago we proudly called Essen the Cultural
Capital of Europe. Our city is a very busy one (580,000 inhabitants)
undergoing restructuring since the end of heavy industry which many
associate with our region.
Essen is a city of contrasts as you will find out in the next four days. The
heavy industry was not located in the well-to-do and green south of Essen
(where our school is) but in the city centre about four kilometres from
here. There is no city in Germany where the divide between rich and poor
is as big as here, even if you may not notice. All but a very few mines in
the Ruhr Area are closed now and you’ll see how green our part of town is.
We believe the Ruhr Area to be a very interesting topic. Zeche Zollverein
is sure the landmark sight which we will visit on Thursday.
It is now 9 years we have had an exchange with Pius X-College and for
the first time we are able to visit on ostrich farm. You're going to see how
scenic and green the area is in contrast to the densely populated parts of
Essen further north.
One of the students' favourite places is definitely the Seaside Beach Club
where we're going to have our traditional barbecue on Thursday.
We expect you have been looking forward to this exchange given the
successful experience back in January. It goes without saying that you are
required to speak English as much as possible because another objective
3
of the exchange is to use this language both in a learning environment
and outside school.
Having seen how well Dutch and German students got along, we’d love to
see you taking an active interest in each other once again. We also expect
our German students to take care of our Dutch friends at all times.
As always we have tried to make the workshops as interesting and diverse
as possible.
However, you are also invited to look around and see how things are done
here. The teachers /workshop leaders are here to assist you if you have
any questions or problems. Teachers and students alike are happy to help
you.
We believe that taking part in the exchange is a privilege. This is why we
expect the exchange to be successful.
Have a great time!

family in the history of Essen. On your way to the Villa Hügel as well as in
the afternoon, take photos of the area and places you visit in the

After the workshop we are going to pay a visit to a special part of our
town, Margarethenhöhe.
Some of the German students might actually live there, these might want
to show you around and give you a personal tour.
We are going there by bus or by bike, or walk as well. The spot where we
meet is on the corner of Sommerburgstraße and Steile Straße where most
guided tours start. Be there by 12.30.
You will have 1.5 hours to complete the quiz before we meet again at 2pm
in the spot we met earlier.
You are going to have a break now before we all of us meet again in
Schillerwiese at 4.30. Do not forget to bring your sports gear (as well as
your bats, badminton rackets, frisbees etc.). Schillerwiese is in
Eichenstraße close to the huge roundabout in Stadtwald.
Essen - Then and now (Wednesday, 8.15-11.35)
It is the intention of this workshop to give the students a general overview
of the industrial development of the Ruhr Area and its structural change.
I have a real gem which I just discovered a short while ago. The New York
Board of Education made a film of Essen after WWII. Having watched the
film, you are going to talk about your observations and compare them to
your impressions of the first day. Hence the task to take photographs and
see what our part of Essen is like.
Among other things I'd like you to find out about living and working
conditions in the past, about mass migration to Germany after the war
and some other structural changes of the Ruhr Area in the past. You are
going to work with your partner while the teachers will assist you if need
be.

Thursday, 12th May 2016 Visit Zeche Zollverein
Excursion to Word Heritage Site Zeche Zollverein on Thursday - The royal
Dutch family on their visit to Zeche Zollverein in 2011 - King Willem-
Alexander was crowned in 2013.
11
In the morning
We are going to meet at the tram stop Frankenstraße at 8.40 am. The first
group of students (about 50) will take the 8.55 train to Zeche Zollverein
via Essen main station (Hbf), the rest will follow 10 minutes later arriving
at Zeche Zollverein at 9.32am. The journey is 25 minutes and we need to
change trains at Essen main station before we get off at Zeche Zollverein,
from there it is a short walk to the former coking plant.
Make sure you have a valid ticket for the journey to the museum and
back before we leave. Please do not wait to buy a ticket just before
leaving unless you arrive at the stop in time. After the tours and your
individual exploration of the site you'll be free for the rest of the day, well,
that is until we meet at the Seaside Beach for the barbecue.
The tours last about 120 minutes.
Note that the official programme ends in Zollverein once we debriefed you
and said goodbye at around 1.30 or 2pm.
For more information about public transportation in Essen go to:
VRR: http://www.vrr.de/de/index.html
12
In the early evening - Seaside Beach
Barbecue: 5.30 until 8pm. Bring your own meat/food/plates and
crockery. Sausages, however, are provided for everyone. We aren't
going to able to bring our own drinks but will need to buy them there.
Please note that if you come earlier, you'll have to pay for the admission.
So wait for the teachers as we are going to cover the admission as well as
the drinks. We meet at the entrance at 5.30 pm. If dry, you can do a lot of
hanging around or sports, too.
Those daring or sporty might want to
give a shot at climbing. On the very
site of the Seaside Beach you could
team up and have a fantastic
experience. I'll give you the URL so
can you check out their webiste.
Don't forget you'll need a
permission/consent from you parents. Although the climbing won't cost
you an arm and a leg (I hope), still expect €13,50 per person. If there is a
group of 20, you'll get a small discount and the admission will be €11,50.

Friday, 13 May 2016
We will meet at the ostrich farm - Straußenfarm Rutherhof at 8.30 am.
You can either carpool or find
out what bus will take to the
farm fastest. It is a 20 minute
walk from the bus stop to the
farm!
The tours will be in English and probably last an hour. Don't forget to bring a sandwhich. Otherwise you might want to buy something at the
farm.
Afterwards we are going to walk to Werden, a truly picturesque part of
Essen. From there we are going to head back to school at around 12.30. Lunch or other snacks will be waiting for the Dutch students and for those
German students who ordered the pizza.
You can leave your luggage in the pavilion in the pavilion
in room 1 before you set off for the ostrich farm/Rutherhof in the morning. Mrs Rasmus will be
waiting for you between 8.00-8.15am. Be on time!
If your host family or friends can bring your luggage to the school in the afternoon just before departure
(3pm), that's fine as well.

Grashof meets College Pius X 2015
Gegenbesuch der niederländischen Partnerschule
aus Bladel vom 10.5.2016 bis 13.5.2016 (Di-Fr)
Informationen für die Schüler und die Gastfamilien
Meine Kollegen und ich informieren Sie in dieser Mitteilung über den Ablauf des Gegenbesuchs im Rahmen unseres Austausches. Zusätzlich
weisen wir auf einige organisatorische Dinge hin, die Ihnen eine Hilfe sein sollen bzw. bei denen wir Ihre Hilfe benötigen. Falls Sie Fragen oder
Anregungen haben, bitten wir Sie uns zu kontaktieren (siehe unten).
Wir hoffen, dass Sie und Ihre Kinder sich auf den Besuch
aus den Niederlanden freuen. Wir wünschen uns auch, dass die Schüler den Austausch auch in diesem Jahr als
Gewinn betrachten. Für Ihre Gastfreundschaft und
kräftige Unterstützung danken wir im Voraus. Ohne diesen großen Rückhalt der Eltern wäre der Austausch
nicht möglich.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
E. Memedoski, H. Rasmus

Die niederländischen Schüler kommen am 10.5.2016 gegen 10h
an der Schule an und verlassen Essen am 13.5.2015 gegen
15.00h (Treffpunkt Ankunft/Rückfahrt: Grashof Gymnasium).
Da alle Schüler am Mittwoch von der Schule zur Margarethenhöhe,
am Donnerstag zur Zeche Zollverein sowie zum Seaside Beach
sowie vielleicht am Freitagmorgen zum Rutherhof fahren,
benötigen alle Schüler (insbesondere, die aus den Niederlanden)
Tickets für den ÖPNV (am günstigsten Viererticket, Tarif B, Preis
€5,90)
Wichtig: Die Tickets vor der Fahrt kaufen, nicht bei Fahrtbeginn!
Nachmittagsgestaltung / Freizeit: Der Nachmittag am Dienstag
(ab etwa 14h30) kann nach dem offiziellen Programm von den
15
Schülern/Familien zur individuellen Gestaltung genutzt werden. Am
Mittwochnachmittag (16.30-17.30h) treffen wir uns zu Spiel und
Sport auf der Schillerwiese in Essen-Stadtwald (Eichenstraße).
Am Donnerstagabend wird ein BBQ organisiert, wozu wir auch die
Eltern ganz herzlich einladen. Treffen ist im Seaside Beach am
Baldeneysee. Bitte denken Sie daran, dass jeder für seinen Partner
und sich eigenes Besteck, Teller und Gläser (Becher) mitbringt. Von
dem eingesammelten Geld kaufe ich Würstchen, gerne auf Anfrage
auch ein paar Veggie-Würstchen oder Rindswürstchen. (Bitte vorab
eine Rückmeldung an mich.) Beiträge zum Buffet in Form von Brot,
Salaten etc. werden in den Klassenpflegschaften bzw. Klassen
organisiert. Wir freuen uns über Helfer am Grill.
Getränke werden vor Ort angeboten, wir dürfen keine eigenen
Getränke mitbringen. Den Eintritt bezahle ich von dem
eingezahlten Geldern genauso wie die Miete für den Grillplatz, daher
treffen wir uns pünktlich um 17.30 am Eingang und gehen
gemeinsam rein.
Planen Sie mit Ihren Kindern und den Gastschülern das Mittagessen
bzw. Lunchpakete an den Tagen mit Ausflügen und Workshops. Am
Freitag haben wir für die Gäste aus Bladel in der Cafeteria einen
warmen Snack bestellt. Für die Schüler vom Grashof gibt es die
Möglichkeit, ebenfalls diesen Snack zum Preis von 3€ zu bestellen.
Frau Rasmus nimmt die Bestellungen und Bezahlung am 3.5.
entgegen.
Die Schüler werden verschiedenen Workshops von uns zugeordnet
werden, ein eingenmächtiges Wechseln ist nicht möglich.
Am Mittwoch finden zunächst die Workshops statt bevor es dann
mittags zur Margarethenhöhe geht. Am Nachmittag bieten wir ein
Sportangebot (16.30-17.30h) auf der Schillerwiese an.
Es versteht sich von selbst, dass während des gesamten
Austausches Rauch- und Alkoholverbot besteht
16
Am Mittwochmittag (Margarethenhöhe) bzw. Freitagvormittag
dürfen die Schüler mit dem Fahrrad fahren.
Eine Helmpflicht gibt es nicht in Deutschland, die niederländischen
Schüler tragen ohnehin keine. Dennoch empfehle ich das Tragen aus
den bekannten Gründen. Wenn Sie einen weiteren für den Gast
haben, mag dieser überlegen ob er ihn benutzt.
Die Eintrittsgelder für die gebuchten Führungen und Besuche
begleichen wir von den eingezahlten Geldern. Nach Abzug der
Kosten für den Transport nach Bladel bleiben gut €30 für alle
geplanten Aktivitäten in Essen.
Besprechen Sie frühzeitig, wie das Gepäck
jeweils von und zur Schule transportiert
werden kann. Es gibt sicherlich Familien, die
die Koffer mitnehmen können.
Wir bieten an, dass die Schüler Freitag früh
zwischen 8 und 8.15 die Koffer in Raum P01
(Pavillon) deponieren können. Frau Rasmus wird diesen Raum
aufschließen, ich selber werde direkt zum Rutherhof fahren.
Andernfalls müssen die Koffer nachmittags zur Schule gebracht
werden (Abfahrt 15h).
Wenn es Ihnen möglich ist, können Sie das Gepäck am Ankunftstag
gegen 10h von der Schule abholen. Ansonsten können die Schüler
ihr Gepäck in P01 deponieren und nach dem Besuch der Villa Hügel
gegen 14.30h dort wieder abholen.
Vielen Dank für Ihr Engagement!
