Project work tourism

Report about the project work tourism

Our team included 6 persons, two of them from India, Paramveer and Arjit. The others were, Constanze, Jan-Ole, Phil und Jan-Philipp.

We decided to work on the theme Tourism, because we Germans wanted to know, what is Tourism for Indians? And what are the big differences between Germany and India?

On our first day we started to work on a timetable, what we wanted to do on all three days. So we started with work on the differences between Germany and India. In this work we started to speak about typical German and Indian tourist places. After that little speech about tourist places we went to the computer room, to show each other the typical places on the internet. Indians showed us a lot of religious places like the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort or a lot of temples all around India. We Germans showed more political places like the Brandenburger Tor, the Reichstagsgebäude or typical German castles. After that short start of the day we started to make some questions for interviews with students and teachers of our school. For us were the important questions, how are you traveling? With who are you travel? And how often in the year do you travel?

On the second day we started to make interviews. This took a lot of time, because at first not so many students wanted to be part of an interview. So we started in the first break to interview teachers. After the first one gave the interview, a lot of others wanted to be part in too. At the end of the second day the Indian students went to a practice for some acts for the presentation evening. On the last day of project work we had a big problem, because three of our six members were ill. After a lot of work for the last three we finished a presentation with a little movie, a PowerPoint Presentation and a selection of our interviews.

Finally we can say that tourism is for Indians and Germans nearly the same, because the Indians and the most of Germans said in our interviews, that they do tourism, because of learning something new from other cultures. The Germans often travel to other European counties for learning something about history and about others behavior. The Indians travel around their own country, because of learning something about the culture of other Indians in such a big country. All in all the Indians travel for their religion more than the German, because they have a lot of popular places in India.
