Trip to Klagenfurt with TEA

On Friday, Nov. 19th, I and three other teaching assistants ventured to the southern-most province of Austria, known as Carinthia, for a two-day conference in Klagenfurt.

The conference was part of an outreach program for T.E.A. - Teachers of English in Austria.  Our goal was to make contact with English teaching assistants in Klagenfurt and the surrounding area, in order to build up a social network among assistants there.

While in Klagenfurt we met with several other assistants, who were also teaching in the province as part of their Fulbright programs.  It was a great weekend, and we were even treated to a Thanksgiving meal with the Austro-American Society of Carinthia - it was fantastic!

Take a look at our trip photos!

I wish everyone a very Happy Turkey Day this week!
Take Care / Alles Gute,
