Four weeks in Málaga - work

This year, I got the opportunity to take part in the Leonardo da Vinci-project organized by the GSO Köln and IES Campanillas in Málaga. Together with 8 other apprentices from different companies I went to Spain for a month. For that time we were accomodated in Patio 19, a nice hostel in Calle Mariblanca in the very centre of Málaga. The breakfast is also really good, especially, if there is one of the delicious homemade cakes.

Together with Christoph, I worked at the CEIP Directora Adelaida de la Calle. This primary school was inaugurated in 2011 and is located in a rather new area of the city where a lot of young families are living.

On our first Monday we were greeted by Miguel, who told us, that there had already been some interns in the IT department three weeks ago and who asked us to go on with the work they have started. We could organize our work independently. Basically, it consisted of upgrading memory, changing BIOS batteries and troubleshooting broken hardware. People at the school were all very nice and friendly.

Because of the Semana Santa and the holidays on 1st and 2nd of March, we had only about 2 working weeks. But even if it had been four weeks of work: I can absolutely recommend the program. So if you get the opportunity: go for it!
