At the same time TGs presented eleven lectures with ppt on:

Freeze and Klimt; Urbanization under Mayor Lueger; Canalization Projects; Vienna
Workshop and Hoffmann; The Vienna Coffeehouse – an institution; Brno as
birthplace to famous Viennese; Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and ethnic tradition;
Art Nouveau.
The lecture hall with technical equipment had been sponsored by the Vienna
Chamber of Commerce.
Friday afternoon 30 TGs arranged a special tour for sight-impaired people in
Schönbrunn Palace (UNESCO Heritage), the Children Museum: the young participants
with their accompanying persons, as well as adult visitors had the opportunity
to experience life style in the 18th century; dress up as aristocrats, dance the
menuette, feel materials and furniture of the time, taste cakes and ingredients
specially made and presented by TGs for this occasion.
The success was enormous and most visitors agreed that this was completely new
and thrilling to them!
Collection of sponsoring money for a model for sight-impaired people continued
for the 3rd year and added Euro 4000; this enables us to now order this cask to
be made and discussion for the choice of building is on. By next year we might
present it for ITGD.
