Highlights during this week were visits to the Garsten Prison as well as visits to various social institutions such as SOS Human Rights, Streetwork and Caritas Wärmestube.

The leisure/cultural program included excursions to some of the most important sights in the region, such as the city of Salzburg, Hallstatt and the Mauthausen Memorial. Austrian beer culture was showcased during a visit to the Freistadt brewery and before the students could show their accuracy in archery.
