At Easter to Schönhausen

Schönhausen is a small place in the historic Brandenburg countryside between Berlin and Magdeburg. Since the reunification of Germany in 1990 English teachers at the local secondary school have welcomed our ab initio students as paying guests for a week or ten days during the Easter vacation. The stay usually includes students getting some teaching experience at the school, social evenings, a trip to Berlin, and if possible, excursions to other places of interest, such as Magdeburg and Weimar.Ìý
