About my CityTracks Experience | Meine CityTracks-Erfahrung

Hy girls and boys,

my opinion to CityTracks: CityTracks is a good event for all boys and girls. All people whowould like to be a piece of the project should participate, because you meet new people, see other cities and their culture, learn more about these cities and it's big fun. On the one side you are taking part in MediaRallyes and on the other side you create an own MediaRallye. This is a very different and maybe better learning e.g. how to organise such a project.

For me it was a beautiful time in Görlitz/Zgorzelec and Dresden.

Greetings from Dresden

Max

Hy Jungs und Mädchen,

meine Meinung zu CityTracks: CityTracks ist ein großartiges Projekt für alle Jugendlichen. Alle Leute, die ein Teil diese Projektes sein wollen, sollten teilnehmen. Weil du neue Freunde kennen lernst, siehst (neue) Städte und deren Kultur und ganz nebenbei lernst du noch was über die Städte. Und das alles in Medienrallyes, man nimmt nämlich an 3 Medienrallyes teil. Eine von ihnen organisierst du mit deinem Team für eine andere Gruppe.

Da ich ja sowieso bei fast allen medialen Sachen dabei bin, kann ich sagen, das dies ein ganz anders (bessers) lernen ist, wie z.B. eine Medienrallye funktioniert. Es war eine gute Zeit in Görlitz/Zgorzelec und Dresden.

Grüße aus Dresden

Max

CityTracks started!

Yesterday we arrived at FokusFestival - lots of music, entertainment, sports and more...the teams are on their way through Görlitz and Zgorzelec and we are very excited about the results...

Yeah...

we'll be off to Görlitz/Zgorzelec tomorrow preparing the last stuff for the first exchange weekend of the Dresdner and Wroclawer.
During our CityTrackers discover the cities we are going to be at the FokusFestival with some action - everybody can create his or her own greeting postcard exclusively from the festival.



In the evening there'll be the "Licht aus, Spot an"-Aktion of netzcheckers. de
We're looking very forward to it and from Saturday night on the first results of the rallye are to be seen here!!

12 days to go...

and we are already looking forward to our first weekend in Görlitz/Zgorzelec with our 24 participants...
Next Monday we are going to have the last preparation trip to Görlitz and we'll meet up with our local partners - the FokusFestival!



We are proud of having won them as our partners because the Polish-German Youth Festival perfectly fits into our concept.


Watch out for more!

preparation weekend in Görlitz/Zgorzelec

It was great weather and we all had our bikes with us when we met for preparing the MediaRallye in Görlitz/Zgorzelec last weekend. On Friday we got to know each other because Maciek joined us who will be our final contact person from Semper Avanti.
Saturday morning wake up call, a good breakfast and off to discovering the cities by bike. We took a lot of coordinates, our brain was working all the time and in the afternoon we had collected lots and lots of impressions.



On Sunday we met a city guide who filled us with some more information we didn't know yet. And then we started structuring all these ideas for getting an overview of what we could do with our participants...we don't want to reveal too much but you will have a lot of fun on our MediaRallye through Görlitz/Zgorzelec with action, tricky riddles and adventure =)

The countdown has started...

But first a review of yesterday...
actually Almuth, Aleks and me wanted to meet in a cafe to point out all the tasks coming up to us. But first we had to get the signature of our chief for the application for the Foundation of German-Polish collaboration so we all went to the Medienkulturzentrum. Without any guess our secretary came to me and gave me a letter with the words:"That's the grant office from the city of Dresden." I looked at it and started screaming...we couldn't believe, we got the support from the department of Public Relation of the city of Dresden for CityTracks...yieahhaw!
Totally delighted we then continued our meeting in a cafe with view on the Elbe - this day went out perfectly after having had such stressful weeks behind us. It won't get better but now we are even more motivated.

And today I finally posted our application for the foundation...the countdown has started, at the latest in six weeks we will know if all our energy is pays off and we can realise CityTracks...so let's all hope and we'll neither way rock on...

Finally we made it...

We - Aleks, Almuth and me - are the three organisers of CityTracks in Dresden. Last tuesday we were to Wrocław meeting our partners of Semper Avanti. We went by train on the new track which goes directly from Dresden to Wrocław in only 3,5 hours. And here is our first diary entry...

• 6.00: alarm clock is ringing - forward to Wrocław yeahaw!
• 7.15: meet the others at train station Dresden-Neustadt
• 7.32: here we come Wrocław! (p.s. we hope everything will go out fine after we had a lot of topsy-turvy with finding a Polish partner)
• 11.00: end station Wrocław, waiting for the Semper Avantis...who of those guys could be Marcin?
• 11.20: meeting Marcin and Anna - there is immediately smypathy on both sides
• 12:00: a short sightseeing tour through Wrocław, having delicious lunch with pierogies and pancakes and getting to know each other
• 13:30: going to office of Semper Avanti figuring things out with organisation, time and financial plans
• 16:00: yeah! we can't believe it...cooperation contract is signed and now we can relax.
• 17:00: having a drink and some food
• 00:00: falling tired into our sleeping bags...yaaawn!

The next morning we went back to Semper Avanti getting the last things done and then went back home after only 26 hours being in Poland.
We were totally delighted and so the two hours delay of our train didn't stress us too much.
