Airport Liverpool to Berlin Schoenefeld

So here I am at Liverpool airport waiting to board my flight to Berlin Schoenefeld. How times change! The last time I was in the amazing city of West Berlin, I could not go to Schoenefeld as firstly there was a large wall in the way and even though we were allowed through Checkpoint Charlie, Schoenefeld was a military airbase and off limits. Readers may gather from the story above that it has been a long time since I have been back to a place I spent 2 years in.

The Berlin Wall coming down and the fall of Communism in the Warsaw Pact countries started in 1989. I left Berlin in 1983. Thirty one years feels like a lifetime ago and it certainly is. A different world, a different city and a different person over all those years. Going back to the open Berlin after such a long time will feel strange but exciting at the same time and I am really looking forward to it.

I am on my way for the SALTO sponsored Project Greenhouse for Inclusion, a training and partner building event under the auspices of the Youth in Action Erasmus plus EU programme. I look forward to meeting new people, making new friends from all over Europe and hopefully striking up new partnerships for our future Key Action 2 bids through Erasmus plus. Please keep an eye on this blog for developments as the week unfolds. Please see greenhouseberlin.blogspot.com
