Project meeting in Hagen | Day 1

Representatives of all three schools have met in Hagen today to start working on their last topic: interreligious dialogue. 

After some icebreaking activities students worked on their understanding of their own and other religions.

We are all looking forward to our excursion about interreligious dialogue tomorrow.
