School description:

Our school’s name is Grg 17 Parhamergymnasium, named after it’s founder Mr. Parhamer. It is located in the 17th disctrict of Vienna. We offer 3 different school-tracks, namely, a bilingual track, a sports track for girls and a track focussing on sciences.
Our school provides a mixture of cultures and languages. Imagine, our students speak 35 different languages, only 60 % speak german at home, 40 % communicate in other languages. Also a lot of our teachers love to travel and experience other cultures. Our native-speakers from Canada, Australia, Scotland, Great Britain, etc. bring their native custumes and habits to our school as well. This year the whole school worked on a big project on culture, and we even got a prize for that. As you can see respect for others and a deeper understanding of other cultures is very important to us, that’s why we love the idea of a peacecamp which brings young people from different countries together.
