1st meeting with our MAGIC students



First meeting with our students from Johann-Rudolph-Glauber Schule. Don't they look like real magicians!?;-)
We already know who will join Oliver and me to the Netherlands. The students are creating their gmail and facebook accounts at the moment (at least I hope so). Next week we will choose the 4 groups and start with the group blogs. So far...

MAGIC in Ktown

This is the web page for the teachers of Johann-Rudolph-Glauber Schule in Karlstadt. We are a secondary school called Realschule (a little bit comparable to the American Middle School) here in the north of Bavaria, Germany. If you are looking for our students' pages there are links to them and their pages in the right hand bar.

My name is Thorsten Lippert and I am the coordinator for our project "MAGIC" in Germany. I teach English, 
economics/business and politics and fell in love with being part of a common European project in Antalya last year. 
Many European teachers met there and this is 
where I also found some partners of our project. 
I live in Wuerzburg that is very close to Karlstadt 
where my school is. I was not born in this part of Bavaria,
but came here by accident and decided to stay cause of the beautiful landscape and city. My first step towards 
international exchange was in 2003 when I did an internshipin the USA for my studies to become a teacher. In the years afterwards I was travelling a lot with a worldtrip at the end of my studies as the high point. I consider myself to be a European, German and Bavarian citizen.






Judith Schmitt




Hi there, my name is Judith Schmitt, I'm 31 years old and Thorsten, Oli and Marcus's colleague at secondary school in Karlstadt. Originally, I'm not from Würzburg but studied English and Geography for teaching there and have lived there for more than 10 years now. I'm very excited about the comenius project as I've never worked on an international school project before and looking forward to meeting all you people involved. See you soon.











Marcus Waitz


Hi everybody,
My name is Marcus Waitz, I’m 34 years old, married and the father of two lovely little children. I have studied English, history and applied social studies at the University of Wuerzburg and Irish studies at the University of Liverpool in my time as an Erasmus student. Now I teach English and history at our Johann-Rudolph-Glauber-School and I run one of our drama groups. I organize the many small and big events of our ‘school without racism project’ and I organize the annual educational trip to Hastings for our students. I have always enjoyed meeting people from other countries and now I’m really looking forward to taking part in this Comenius project.
See you soon
Marcus
