Studying abroad isn’t just a short Erasmus semester: Alumni share tips

, , ,

Instead of spending time speculating about studying abroad, ask those who’ve already done it: This unique opportunity recently presented itself to the soon-to-be high school graduates at Steinmühle. In an online seminar, former Steinmühle students Leo Mengel, Marco Cokic, and Philipp Kreiter supported the current graduating class, allowing the students to benefit from their own experiences in life after high school.

 

A Reunion After the Podcast from Festival Week

The trio had already visited the Steinmühle in June during the festival week with their podcast “Des Pudels Kern” to record a live segment as part of a larger panel discussion. The topic: “What Schools Today Must Learn to Foster Tomorrow’s Innovation” (episode here: https://steinmuehle.de/blog/2024/07/15/zurueck-an-der-steinmuehle-mit-dem-podcast-des-pudels-kern/). The three young men feel such a strong connection to the Steinmühle and their former teachers that they launched another initiative. They used online platforms to facilitate a Q&A session and, afterward, made the presentation slides and the recording available. Based on their own firsthand experiences, the focus was primarily on applying to universities in Europe, with an emphasis on the UK.
