I really enjoyed the workshop in Marienthal, I selected a topic in social sciences from which I knew nothing because it was important to me to understand and learn about something that can put me out of my zone of comfort that is natural sciences and that is so relevant nowadays. The only inconvenient was maybe, that we did not have, like in the other groups, a tutor that we could go to get some feedback at the moment of the elaboration of the presentation. Nevertheless, we did it pretty well as a group of students that just met in real life in there (after the emails exchange) and I am happy about the outcome. I got to know different people with different ways to see life. I do not believe in seeing or think of people according to their nationality but according to them as individuals and get to know each other was lovely and the activities were very refreshing and enjoyable. Thank you for the opportunity.

I, hereby, would like to express my appreciation for the given precious opportunity to attend the Intercultural Communication Group Project St. Marienthal, by mentioning that it was an exciting and first-hand new experience for me to share nature-oriented scientific matters beside intercultural issues among a group of other nations.   

Marienthal project was a great overall experience. As students we worked in truly international teams with members not only from different countries, but also from different continents. This fact ensured a wide range of perspectives on every topic. To be more specific, in Czech Republic we talk and complain a lot about our waste management. However, some countries have not introduced dustbins to their societies.. So I would highly recommend this project to anybody who would like to explore new things, new opinions and wants to make friends. You can think of this project as a light version of Erasmus.

I am writing You to give You some feedback about Marienthal. The cooperation with different cultures was really interesting, also learning something new to the topic from their point of view. For me, the best was visiting the village Višňová and listening to the speech of its mayor - I haven't heard about their problem before. 

I liked the seminar in Marienthal, it was a great experience. One of the best things on seminar was meeting new people coming from all over the world and learning something new about their countries. The next thing I really liked was visiting village Višňová and Berzdorfer See, it was very informative and interesting. The area we were staying in was beautiful and calm.
I was a little bit disappointed we didn´t have enough time to do small tour through the abbey and see the church inside. The accommodation and food were good, I liked the refreshments provided during the days. However time flew by really fast so maybe before the seminar in Marienthal I would do one extra meeting, could be only through the Skype, where students in individual groups could share their ideas and information for presentation so in Marienthal they could spend more time together and play some games, go for a walk if the weather was good or just see the abbey, everybody´s choice. Anyway, in general the seminar was well organized and I find it as a great occasion to visit new places, meet new people and learn new things.

I enjoyed our time in Marienthal and I am glad to participated. The accommodation was beautiful, the food was tasty. But we had little time for preparing our presentations. If we hadn't had some notes, we wouldn't have made it.
