Advent crime inspires pupils: exciting Adventhorchen in Lienz!

In the creative ambience of the Egger-Lienz middle school, enthusiasm and excitement bounce together at Christmas. Today, on December 11, 2024, the popular "Adventhorchen" took place again. As part of this special tradition, between 35 and 45 students gathered in the morning to listen to the reading of the Advent thriller "The Knecht-Ruprecht-Gang and the missing package". The calm mood, which established itself in the room despite the children's accumulation, underlines the magic of the Advent. This ritual goes beyond mere listening: it begins with the announcement of yesterday's puzzle winner before the bell play announces the moment when the story is unfolded. According to the report by dolomitenstadt.at, the contemplative atmosphere is supported by the voluntary reading patients who travel with a lot of commitment from different locations to accompany the children on their literary journey.
