About the participants:
We are the pupils from grammar school Burgstädt. We, two girls and three boys, attend the grade 9  to 12. In our group there is a computer specialist, some students who are very musical and we all like to do sports.

Special features:
In the past our school used to be the biggest school in Saxony. We are very helpful, polite, friendly and interested to learn something new. We have often participated in the contest “Jugend forscht” and gained some prizes.

Our strong points:
We have been one of the first schools in Saxony that became the title “Schule ohne Rassismus, Schule mit Courage” (school without racism, school with courage).  Every year we organize a band festival with many popular bands e.g. Galway 7

Description of the location and geographical position:
Burgstädt is a small town near Chemnitz in the west of Saxony. There are some villages which belong to Burgstädt e.g. Göppersdorf, Herrenhaide or Mohsdorf. The Sign of Burgstädt is the “Taurasteinturm”. In the past it was a water tower, but now it is a sightseeing point. Another important point is the grammar school in the Second World War it was a hospital for wounded soldiers.  Since 1992 the school building is called Gymnasium Burgstädt and from 2001 to 2004 the GyBu was remade. Now it is one of the most beautiful buildings in Saxony.

Our expectations for the project :
We hope that the project give us some new experiences in many things which we can use in school and the daily life.
