Artificial intelligence meets education: Künzelsau students on an EU discovery tour!

The Anne-Sophie Künzelsau Free School recently went on an exciting study trip to Brussels. A total of 14 learning partners, including their learning companions, Olivia Telichowski and Daniel Dietz, traveled to the European capital to take a look behind the scenes of the EU's political and economic structures. After the journey was successful, the students began their journey with the aim of better understanding the complex connections between politics, business and the media.

On the first day, a visit to the Würth representative office of the Baden-Württemberg state representation was on the agenda. Important topics such as the supply chain law and the role of lobbyists in Brussels were discussed in detail. The learning partners learned how diverse the possibilities for interest representation are at the European level and what influence this has on political decision-making processes. This opened the eyes of some of the young people to the realities of politics and business.

Insights into European politics

The second day was marked by a visit to the European Parliament. Here the students had the opportunity to speak with the MEP Dr. Andrea Wechsler to speak. A lively exchange about current European issues made the young people realize the importance of their voice at the European level. Such direct conversation is an experience that goes far beyond the classroom.

On the third day of the trip, the House of European History was on the program, where the learners learned not only about the development of the European idea, but also the challenges and achievements of the last centuries. This knowledge is directly related to an understanding of today's European cooperation and the challenges that the EU is currently facing.

Media and Europe

A special highlight was the meeting with Tobias Reckmann in the ARD capital studio in Brussels. He explained how the media reports on the EU and how complex topics are presented in an understandable way for the public. These insights are of great value to future journalists and those interested in politics.

Of course there was also time for personal discovery of Brussels. The learning partners took the opportunity to explore sights and enjoy Belgian specialties such as fries and waffles. On the last day they said goodbye with a visit to the famous Atomium, one of the city's landmarks, and began their journey home full of new impressions.

The trip left the young people with a heightened awareness of the importance of European cooperation and the challenges associated with it. Thanks to such activities, young people in Künzelsau can take not only theory but also practical experience into the topic of Europe and later integrate it responsibly into their own lives.
