As part of the Erasmus+ Habits for Success project, its third and last mobility of 2026 took place in Detmold, Germany, where a group of Junior College students participated in a mobility hosted by Geschwister-Scholl-Gesamtschule between 21 and 28 June. The group was accompanied by Ms Antoinette Zammit Bugeja and Mr Musawar Ahmad, who supported the students throughout the programme. 

During the mobility, students took part in a varied programme focusing on personal growth, wellbeing, digital awareness, teamwork and healthy living. The week opened with ice-breaker activities, a tour of the host school and a workshop on personal success, during which students created vision boards for their future goals. 

The schedule also included a reception at Detmold Town Hall, hosted by Deputy Mayor Ms Peter-Werner, followed by a city rally and a communal picnic at Palaisgarten. Students also visited Bielefeld, where they participated in an interactive drama workshop on self-perception, communication and body language, before taking part in an escape room activity aimed at strengthening teamwork. 

Digital wellbeing was an important focal point as part of this mobility’s programme. In Paderborn, students attended a workshop on fake news and fake social media, and later visited the Heinz Nixdorf Museums forum, described in the programme as the world’s largest computer museum. The day also included a stop at the Externsteine. 

Further activities explored the link between food, sport and wellbeing. Students researched recipes, visited a local market, cooked together using fresh ingredients and took part in sports activities such as step aerobics, yoga and wrestling. Time with host families gave students the opportunity to experience everyday life in Germany and build friendships with their European peers. 

This activity was coordinated by the JC International Office and co-funded through the Erasmus+ Programme.
