Vienna from two perspectives / Co-learning Report February 2020

Our time in Vienna written by Tomáš Bělovský and Richard Hyroš

We arrived in Vienna on Sunday 26th at about 10 a.m. We unpacked our luggages and went out to look around our apartment. We were accommodated at "Apartments Heine" so we checked all nearby shops and places. The weather wasn’t very good that day, but that didn’t stop us from exploring the city.

On the next day was our first day at job. We arrived at Hug Inn Vienna and met Christoph @manncpt, our tutor, co-founder & chairman of Option 2.0 @opt2o who is also Community Manager of the Global School. We got acquainted with our projects and started to work.

I (Thomas) was supposed to design a building in a 3D modelling program and Richard was working on a contact management application for the organisation.

In the next days we took Christoph's advice and worked from quite a few places. We visited Cafe DirtWater, Cafe Pelican, Cafe weXelerate, Spaces Square One or we even worked from our apartments!

During the work on our projects we were also in contact with Jean @jnmarteau, senior developer and President of Option 2.0, which was very helpful. He helped us a lot with our tasks and thanks to that, it wasn’t just a intense learning process and work, but also fun!

We also did normal sightseeing in Vienna. We saw so many places that I will just list few of them, otherwise this article would be really long. We were at beautiful palace Schönbrunn, Prater after the nightfall, Heldenplatz square, Ernst Hapel Stadion, Technical museum in Vienna and Richard also visited an E-sport bar respawn! We did not idle even in sports activities. We were playing football, went running and even went to gym.

In conclusion we really enjoyed our last three weeks here and are thankful for this first internship experience abroad. The days were full of entertainment and we were growing our knowledge & improved our english skills.
