Halloween in Germany?!

halloween

Yes! Although it is still not very common to celebrate Halloween in Germany, more and more people learn to appreciate this holiday and the customs linked with it. A few years ago Halloween was almost unknown in Germany, but now you see kids trick-or-treating on the street and Jack-0'-Lanterns in many dooryards.

Of course the New Europe students did not have to go without carving pumpkins for this special occasion while staying abroad. Once the pumpkins were delivered by the marketer the students began to shape their works of art and taught the German student workers who also took their chances a lesson. Many different shapes and styles came out in the end, and the most important thing: It was lots of fun, as seen above!
