Am Abend des 8. Jänner gab es die Möglichkeit die Bildungswege am BORG und SPORT-BORG Jennersdorf,
gemütlich, von der Couch zuhause, kennenzulernen.

On Tuesday Dec. 15^th 2020 we, students from Austria, had a zoom meeting with our Spanish partner school from the Canary Islands.

We talked about our Christmas traditions and a lot of interesting things about their habits around the holidays. The experience with the Spanish students was great, they all seem nice and talkative.  We had a pleasant conversation with them and were excited to learn about their traditional food, potatoes and seafood. We learned that on the Canary Islands people open their presents on the 6^th January, whereas in Austria we open them on the 24^th December. In Austria we believe in the Christ child (Christkind), but in Spain children get their presents from the three Wise Men (los reyes magos).  A tradition on New Year’s Eve is that Spanish people eat 12 grapes at midnight, one for each stroke. In Austria we dance the Viennese waltz when the clock strikes twelve.  The waltz is broadcast every year at midnight on TV and on the radio. Although we had some problems with the sound, the meeting was a lot of fun. We are really looking forward to meeting them again and finding out about other differences but also things we have in common.
