The joy at the three workbenches from the training workshop of Rolls-Royce Germany was huge! When they arrived in late May in parts, it was clear that the building would be a great challenge for our young people. Therefore we gladly accepted the offer of the apprentices from Rolls-Royce to help our youth to reassemble. On time our “helper” arrived and impressed us all with their expertise and professional approach.

That’s how 17 young people worked together for two days, and all of them were proud of their common result.

Two schools are our partners for the school year 2015/2016: the Ferdinand-Freiligrath-School in Kreuzberg and the Alfred-Nobel-School in Neukölln. Students of the 7th to the 10th Class of Ferdinand-Freiligrath-School are divided into inter-year groups by different interests. The so-called ‘Arena Product Design’ will relocate their lessons once a week in the Fliegerwerkstatt. Here we can provide pre-employment basis in various projects. The ‘practice class’ of the Alfred-Nobel-School is made up of students of the 9th and 10th grade. They work three times a week with different tools and materials and get insights into different occupations which helps them for their professional orientation.

In addition to the hardware Günter Hujer has now tracked down the original drawings of GTD 350-turbine which he drop off. So we can start planning the Schnittmodell!

For the first time, the working meeting of SozialraumAG II Kreuzberg took place on our premises. For us, the regional working groups are an important part of our networking to coordinate our projects with other education institutions and organizations.

At our first Girls’ Day twelve students came from six different Berlin schools in the Fliegerwerkstatt. Very successfully they built their rockets from PET bottles and let them start together on the Tempelhof Field.

Representatives from the surrounding schools and the administration as well as colleagues from other institutions from the districts of Tempelhof-Schöneberg, Kreuzberg and Neukölln caught up on our goals and projects of the Fliegerwerkstatt. On the tour through the halls especially the cockpit delighted the visitors, which still stands on its platform, but also did our helicopter turbine.

Who felt like could even fly over Berlin in an one-man-flight simulator, which was provided by Mr Gronak and Mr Schikora of aviare.

During the Easter holidays we built with young people from the Refugee Home Marienfelde, the Robert-Blum-Gymnasium, Jungendmanufaktur and Tagesgruppe Mariendorf flying objects of all kinds. Each group had an exciting day, which ended with the first test flights at the airfield.

Twelve students of the Ferdinand-Freiligrath-School Kreuzberg visited us for a three days workshop to make first experiences with various materials and tools. During the airport rally the students explored the huge area with its historic characteristics.
