For three weeks, 12 students from the Wirtschaftsgymnasium Bad Mergentheim, accompanied by Principal Volker Stephan and Upper School Counselor Annette Breitenbach, immersed themselves in a completely different culture: As part of a study trip to Japan, co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ program, they gathered numerous impressions and experiences. They shared these during a joint closing evening at the Hotel and Restaurant Bundschu in front of parents, teachers, and guests—combined with a graded presentation and a special program of activities. The evening was designed as a multi-course experience: Between courses of a Japanese-inspired three-course meal, the participants vividly recounted their journey through various cities in Japan. Their stops included Fuefuki, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, and Tokyo, among others.
