In October 2019 it finally started: the first of three training phases with ten trainees from Germany, Denmark, and the Czech Republic.

Some trainees had already engaged with the world a lot, and had gained experience, others were just at the beginning of their careers. However, they all learned something from the various excursions and activities during the training.

Actually, the exhibition was supposed to wander through different European glass regions, just like the glassmakers portrayed in it. Actually … because Corona has also messed up our project plans.

Whether a designer, artisan or artist, self-employed or employed. The ten trainees all had different plans for the future. After having accompanied them intensively for six months and got to know them personally, it is exciting to see how they use this unique opportunity for them in very different ways.

Our second training phase was able to build on the first and learn from it. Of course, there were differences, because the trainees bring with them very different cultures and backgrounds.
