There is no video documentation this time, but an audio documentary is in the works.
… the first recording of the Wednesday workshop of the Gymnasium Bondenwald is already finished.
A report from Gymnasium Eckhorst can be found here. (german only)

The next techno move is ours! The opinion of the course is reflected in the following feedback collection:
