Description and implementation of the task: I organized a trip to Budapest with my students. It can be theater, museum, paintballing, skating, etc. I order to reach the original aim of the trip I chose a route in the city where the students could see people living in poor conditions such as homeless and unemployed people. During the journey, there was a relaxed atmosphere and the students could tell their opinions about poverty and homelessness. They could understand that learning a vocation and having meaningful purposes are crucial in order to be able to avoid that situation. Instructions

Student's feedbacks and reflections (oral or written) Among the students, there were some who had seen people living under so unworthy circumstances for the first time. But there were also some who had acquaintances among marginalized people and their life stories were a good introduction to the subject. The learners stated that they didn’t want to live like this, and in order to avoid this situation they recognized that they needed to learn a vocation, have purposes and correct values. Evaluation/teacher reflections A similar trip always has several aims. Besides the original goal (theaters, museums, ice skating, etc.) I had the opportunity to get to know more about the students in extra-curricular life. Furthermore, I am sure that there will be other occasions to refer to the students’ opinion about marginalized people. Notes, further suggestions linked to the presented ideea/exercise: After what has been seen, it is important to prevent the students from having only negative opinions, the aim is to highlight that this situation can be avoided. Moreover, it is important to emphasize for the students that marginalized people need help.
