Im Rahmen einer Erasmus-Projektwoche in Brüssel im Herbst 2025 entstand die Kooperation zwischen dem BRG14 und dem Bornego College in Heerenveen (NL). Nun durften wir zwei Schüler:innen aus den Niederlanden für zwei Wochen bei uns in Wien willkommen heißen.
In ihrem persönlichen Bericht schildern Tijn Lubberts und Lutske van der Molen ihre Eindrücke vom Schulalltag am BRG14, vom Leben in Gastfamilien sowie von ihren kulturellen Erlebnissen in Wien. Ihre Erfahrungen zeigen, wie bereichernd internationale Begegnungen sein können – sowohl für unsere Gäste als auch für unsere Schulgemeinschaft.

After a full day of travelling by train, we finally arrived in Vienna late in the evening. Leo and Emilia picked us up, and from that first moment we already felt welcome. What followed were two unforgettable weeks that felt like living inside a Bridgerton.
School here was very different from what we are used to. The class is bilingual, and many students have lived abroad, so everyone speaks excellent English. What surprised us most was the relaxed atmosphere; the students are so kind, and everybody is included. It is a very different system, but it was interesting to experience. Beyond classes, the school spirit was incredible, especially during the annual sports tournament where entire classes cheered passionately for their teams.
Outside of school, Vienna truly stole our hearts. Visiting Schönbrunn Palace and its zoo was breathtaking, and the view over the city from the hills at sunset is something we will never forget. The historic city centre feels like an open-air museum, with magnificent buildings on every corner. The highlight for us was the Austrian National Library, without exaggeration, the most beautiful room we have ever seen. It was there that we realized everyone should visit Vienna at least once in their life.
We also experienced a traditional school ball, where everyone wore elegant dresses and suits. It felt magical seeing students just like us dressed so fabulously for a school event. From skiing in the mountains to sharing meals, games, and laughter at home, we felt completely welcome.
These two weeks have been more than a trip, they have been an experience of friendship, beauty, and culture. We are deeply grateful for the warmth, openness, and unforgettable memories Vienna has given us.
Thank you BRG14,
Tijn Lubberts & Lutske van der Molen
