Local student initiatives and creative competitions in Germany

In Koblenz, approximately 20 students from the Gymnasium auf der Karthause participated in an educational visit to APA. The visit focused on career orientation within the event industry, specifically regarding branding and signage production for major events like the DFB-Pokal. Students toured the facility, including offices, warehouses, and production areas, and engaged with professionals about career opportunities.

In the Oberberg region, the AOK Rheinland/Hamburg recognized winners of the ‘Be Smart – Don’t Start’ creative competition. Thirteen classes from Leverkusen, the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis, and the Oberbergischer Kreis submitted entries—including videos, songs, and posters—aimed at promoting anti-smoking messages among youth. Five classes received awards, including first place for the Realschule Hückeswagen for their video ‘Der Rauchzauberer’ and second place for the Roseggerschule in Waldbröl for a rap song.
