Time flew by too fast: The German festival

It seemed unreal when we actually stood in front of the University of Education Karlsruhe. After the Science on Stage Festival had already been postponed twice due to the pandemic, it was finally taking place from 8-10 October. 

The weeks beforehand passed in hectic preparation - adapting hygiene regulations, preparing registrations, instructing helpers, assembling material. Always with the worry in the back of their minds that the event would be cancelled after all.  

But on 08 October, the teachers arrived and set up their stalls and the festival could begin. The year before, the teachers had already applied with their innovative teaching ideas. They had to wait a long time, but after a few hours of set-up, the event was ready. On three floors, the teachers presented their projects and were eager to exchange ideas. 

Over the next three days, new ideas were discovered, funny anecdotes shared and new projects planned together: These were days full of intense conversations and laughter. One almost wasn't used the sight of people in conversation anymore. 

Time flew by. All too soon it was time to leave. But even though it is over, the memories of this weekend will linger for a while. See you next time - in Prague.
