    This year, the free flow takes us for a 2-day retreat at Alpenhof.

    The purpose for the 'free flow' is for mentors and students to spend time together in an alternative mode than the usual school setting.
    In a different setting and with different tools, they discuss together interests and topics ranging from the upcoming thesis to life in general.
    This is also a special exchange moment for bonding.

    11. - 12. October 2018

    Alpenhof Panoramaherberge
    St. Antonstrasse 22

    Recap activities

    • Cooking dinner together (Thursday evening)

      • Bring your topping for Flammenkuchen in advance (next grocery store is in Heiden - 3km by foot). Students and teachers cook and clean up together.

    • «Ideation walk» through the nature

      • It seems to have nice hiking trails around the Alpenhof. But most of the tours have St. Anton (= Alpenhof) as their final destination, means that we'd have to start the tour with a descent, which is maybe not so nice. But anyway, we need to spend some time outside. The nature seems to be amazing around there. 

    • Visit the library (Bibliothek Andreas Züst) and/or the current art exhibition (Alpenhof Events) together and use it as a source for inspiration/discussion.

    • «Ideation speed dating » (Method)

    • Hang out, have a after-dinner drink and listen to the sound from the jukebox (Alpenhof Jukebox).

    • Questions game, chatpack

    • Brainstorming (guided by Clemens)

    • ...

     

    Note on accommodation: students are divided in 1 room of 4, 1 room of 3 and 4 rooms of 2.
