Our trip to Turkey

1700 km separate Zwickau and the megacity of Bursa in Turkey. But one aspect connects the two cities: the textile industry. Under the title "From fiber to fashion" as part of the EU project ERASMUS+School, Class 7 of the International Secondary School Reinsdorf set off on a trip to the Turkish city of Bursa on June 4, 2023.

We were welcomed with open arms and delicious food by the Turkish teachers and students.

At school we printed fabrics and later sewed bags from them together, which are also a unique souvenir.

During the visit to Kammgarn Zwickau, which took place beforehand, the students saw how yarns are produced. And it is precisely these yarns from Zwickau that are woven into fabrics in Bursa, as we learned during a tour of the factory.

In addition to a city tour, a visit to the Great Mosque and a lunch with traditional kebab, the program also included a Turkish-German course, which caused great hilarity on both sides.

The flight, the ferry ride across the Sea of Marmara, the call of the muezzin, the crossing of the Bosporus - 5 days and 1000 impressions later we reached home exhausted.

Yare görüşürüz Türkiye! We will definitely come again.
