Journalism

Esslingen, Germany

Hello, I'm Lilian Schwerdtner and I would like to tell you about my track in the Teen Summit: Journalism. I like it very much and hope you will too when you're finished reading this.

We are seven young people from around the world. Florah is from South Africa, John Paul from the Phillipines, John and Camille are from California, Diana from Columbia, Samuel from Mexico and finally me from Germany. Plus, some chaperones who want to help us if we have some problems with the Computers or with writing the articles. They helped us a lot and I'm really happy that they were there when I needed them.
We cooperated with the people from the Webdesign-group to share ideas and pictures.

We wrote about the events of the Teen Summit, the tracks and other themes that we thought are interesting enough to write about. For example, Camille wrote about the Street fair that happened on Wednesday. John wrote about the "Culture Shock" here in the Teen Summit and how people managed it to arrange themselves with the American culture. Florah wrote about the track Architecture and what they were doing.
We went to the different tracks who were quite all in the great Computer Clubhouse in Boston, in the Museum of Sience. We interviewed people, made photos and searched for material.
After that we sat down and wrote our articles. And here it is! I hope you liked it and know now a little bit better about our work as journalists.
