Hello :-)
My name is Pia and I’m 16 years old.
Currently I am attending the “Akademisches Gymnasium” in Vienna. I am a native German speaker but I learn English, French and Latin.
I live in the city center very close to my school which is in walking distance from my home.
My mother is a family and children therapist, my father is a lawyer.
I have two brothers, one of 18 and other 11 years of age.
So basically I am what is commonly described a “sandwich child” which means I have the role of the middle child and the only daughter in the family. I have certain privileges but also do I have disadvantages. Because of my position at home, I have learned to argue for myself, especially when it comes to disputes with my elder brother :)
Because I have a younger brother I get along very good with little children. What I really like about children is that they have little prejudices and are very honest.
On account of my mother I know a lot about education and working with “difficult” children.
Because of my dad’s profession I learn how to defend myself verbally. Although I haven´t managed up until now to win an argument against him hahah.
All the people around me know that I´m a very organized and assertive person. My friends and family describe me as reliable, very open, well structured, impatient, a little too ambitious, thirsty for knowledge, generous and true to myself.
The reason why I want to join peace camp is because I want to hear about changing movements at first hand. I am very interested in our permanent changing world. I want to open up to new perspectives, meet new people, understand other cultures and listen to their stories.
I will attribute an open mindedness, creativity and an open ear and deeper understand for everybody.

Hello,
my name is Nicole and my friends call me Nici. I am 20 years old and I live in a village in the centre of Lower Austria. I live in a house with my parents and our cat. I also have one older brother. I go to school at the “Caritas Ausbildungszentrum” and now I am in the A levels class. Outside the school I take part at some hobbies. I am playing the electric guitar and I am also involved in a band of some people. I also love to go dancing and I take part at a lot of ball openings. The reason why I take part at the peace camp is that I like to get to know new people and new cultures. Another reason is that I want to improve my language skills of English.
