The whirlwind of 200 students and 22 international 'coaches' have once again assembled for an intense 10 day learning process. This year we are focusing on health care.
These are real world case studies with real world consequences. The students are split into 13 teams and required to do a final presentation to a 'board of directors' type evaluation jury. Expert lectures on various project management, financial, master/building/space planning, energy + waste processes etc. It was good to see that this year the students were encouraged to supply ALL of the energy from on-site resources and to 'close-the-loop'.

It's only the second full day, and i am recovering for a very late nite of curling team competitions (my team did win one of four prizes), beer + schnaps drinking and some authentic Austrian boisterous singing. And then a second nite of late dinner and drinking and camaraderie. This IS the essence of life. The bond between teachers and students here reaches way beyond the classroom - there is a comfortableness (gemuetlichkeit) that is world class.
