Internships and insights into the everyday life of the municipality of Hofbieber

Anyone who would like to do an internship in the municipality of Hofbieber is always welcome!

We are happy to be able to offer young people the opportunity to gain new impressions and at the same time get to know our culture. We are especially looking forward to young interested people from our partner region of the Unione Montana Acquacheta. It is precisely such encounters that shape young people, especially in terms of tolerance and international understanding, and they are to be promoted in the municipality in the future as well.

2008

Michela Ciani from Modigliana (FC)

Alessandro Santini from Bologna

Giusy Pecorado from Rimini

Our volunteers Michela Ciani, Giusy Pecorano and Alessandro Santini worked in the kindergarten Hofbieber-Langenbieber, in the Ludwig-Wolker-Haus-Kleinsassen and in the district of Fulda. During their 14-week stay, they gladly took on the task of teaching basic Italian in a language course. Every week, 12-14 people of different ages met at the Hermann Lietz School in Schloss Bieberstein. The young volunteers were also able to gain some experience of their own. All in all, everyone involved had great fun during these wonderful school hours.

2009

Dr. Chiara Artioli from Forlì, in cooperation with the district of Fulda

Since the beginning of 2009, Dr. Chiara Artioli has been working at the Antonius Home in Fulda. A contact to her was established through Mrs. Sandra Buresch from Treffpunkt-Aktiv. Chiara had worked as an English teacher in Italy and also had an excellent knowledge of German. We were able to win her over very quickly to continue running an Italian course in Hofbieber. With her cheerful Italian charm, she skilfully taught Italian grammar in a varied way, expanded our vocabulary and gave us new insights into Italian culture.

2015

Mariana Ghedina from Tredozio (FC)

Learning the language and gaining an insight into everyday life in Germany were the motivations of Mariana Ghedina (17) from the Italian partner municipality of Tredozio. The 4-week stay was divided into two parts. Two weeks of work at the Edeka Markt Fleck in Hofbieber and 14 days of insight into the kindergarten in Langenbieber. Mariana taught the little ones numbers and colours in Italian.  On the last day, Mayor Markus Röder personally thanked Mariana, the host families and all those who made Mariana feel at home during her stay with a small gift at the Langenbieber kindergarten.

2019

Gaia Orlando from Carpi near Modena

Gaia (16) attends a language school in Carpi (Modena) and is learning German as a third foreign language in addition to English and Spanish. We were very pleased about her wish to do a 14-day internship in Hofbieber. During the week, the Italian visited the day care centre Hofbieber, the forest kindergarten and the family centre Hofbieber. Her good knowledge of German was very helpful for her to get to know the work processes in the mentioned facilities. In addition, various leisure activities were undertaken. As a thank you for her kind hospitality, Gaia prepared an original Italian dinner for the hosts. First Deputy Stefan Frohnapfel presented Gaia with a gift and thanked the host family and the institutions that had made the stay possible.
