Felgueiras is known for its many shoe and textile factories and is about 45 minutes from Porto. I spent a lot of time in the factories. I was able to follow the entire shoe production and development process. The employees in the factories went to great lengths to explain the individual steps to us in detail. As you always learn better when you can lend a hand yourself, I was also allowed to make my own shoe during my time. I was allowed to cut out the leather by hand (which actually cost me a few blisters on my fingers) or work on the sewing machine myself. Before I came to Portugal, I always thought that it wouldn&#8217;t take that many people to make a shoe &#8211; with the technical developments we have today! Now I know that this is definitely not the case. Every shoe is handmade. Every shoe is different. Quite fascinating!           <\/p>\n<p>But it wasn&#8217;t just the production that I was able to see up close, but also the development. I was involved in the development of the prototypes in collaboration with our designers and product managers, as well as the subsequent corrections.   <b>One of my personal highlights: designing my own shoe in collaboration with our designer, which will actually be included in the collection.<\/b>  It&#8217;s a great feeling and I&#8217;m already looking forward to seeing the finished shoe in the store.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the entire process also involves working with a wide range of suppliers. As we all know, a shoe consists of more than just the upper material; laces, zippers, rivets and soles also have to be sourced and selected. Not so easy with so much choice.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-1722\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1722\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-angle-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Corona pandemic has made things more difficult<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1722\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1722\"><p>Of course, the coronavirus pandemic has also made things difficult in Portugal. It goes without saying that masks had to be worn during working hours and, of course, social distancing had to be observed. Nevertheless, we were lucky enough to be able to see all the shoe factories. Although there were no visits to the shoelace factory or a tannery in Spain, we were provided with numerous videos, so we were able to gain a lot of knowledge there too. I am therefore certain that we learned no less from Corona in Portugal.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-1723\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1723\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-angle-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Handball in Portuguese<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1723\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1723\"><p>In my free time, I was very lucky to be able to continue pursuing my hobby of playing handball despite corona. The club \u201cA.C Lusitanos\u201d quickly accepted me into their team, which allowed me to get to know the Portuguese culture not only professionally, but also outside of work. Even though the language barrier was extremely high, as only a few Portuguese people speak English and I unfortunately don&#8217;t speak Portuguese, I was still able to communicate with my hands and feet on the pitch and had a lot of fun getting to know one or two handball terms in Portuguese. The coronavirus restrictions were limited here. Although the coach had to wear a mask at all times and we players had to take a temperature before every training session, we were still able to continue training, unlike in Germany.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-1724\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1724\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-angle-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Porto is an incredibly great and fascinating city<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1724\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1724\"><p>We lived in the town of Matosinhos, which is right by the sea. Although we were in Portugal in the fall and winter, we were lucky enough to spend some time in the sun by the sea. In particular, I will never forget my jogging route (jetty right by the sea).  <\/p>\n<p>As Porto is only about 25 minutes away by bus from Matosinhos and the bus fares are affordable at a humane two euros, I also spent a lot of my free time there and got to know the city with its special flair. Porto is an incredibly great and fascinating city with special architecture that I will definitely visit again. Unfortunately, there was an increased lockdown at the end of our time in Portugal, which meant that we were no longer able to \u201csay goodbye\u201d to the city. At the weekend, you were no longer allowed to leave your district and from 1 p.m. there was a complete lockdown, during which you were no longer allowed to be on the streets and supermarkets and the like were also closed.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3d5c1624 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3d5c1624\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c732e53\" data-id=\"c732e53\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c13ea8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4c13ea8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fhdw.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4662C7D3F44DCA57FE5A7627F524002D.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-97135\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fhdw.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4662C7D3F44DCA57FE5A7627F524002D.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fhdw.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4662C7D3F44DCA57FE5A7627F524002D-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fhdw.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/4662C7D3F44DCA57FE5A7627F524002D-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-546c0027 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"546c0027\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Conclusion<\/h5>\n<br>All in all, the ten weeks in Portugal were an incredibly great time, during which I was able to get to know the Portuguese culture as well as the entire shoe development and production process. Although the effects of Corona were also felt here, this in no way stopped me from having great experiences and developing both professionally and personally. \n<br><br>Even though I was a little sad at the beginning that it was unfortunately not possible to go to China due to the pandemic, I am sure that I could not have learned more in China. The experience and knowledge I gained during my time in Portugal would never have been possible in Germany, which is why I am incredibly grateful to have had such an experience. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-65cb0043 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-items-bottom elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"65cb0043\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6ec3490c\" data-id=\"6ec3490c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6bc3f14c elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-content-top elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6bc3f14c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7c990ac8\" data-id=\"7c990ac8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31ecf265 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"31ecf265\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Would you al&shy;so li&shy;ke to go ab&shy;road and ex&shy;pe&shy;ri&shy;ence so&shy;me&shy;thing?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fcbf486 blau elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6fcbf486\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fhdw.de\/en\/application\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10.231\" height=\"16.59\" viewBox=\"0 0 10.231 16.59\"><path id=\"_Color\" data-name=\" &#x21B3;Color\" d=\"M1.947,0,0,1.949,6.323,8.3,0,14.641,1.947,16.59l8.284-8.3Z\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Apply now<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI am in&shy;credi&shy;b&shy;ly gra&shy;te&shy;ful for the ex&shy;pe&shy;ri&shy;ence and know&shy;ledge I gai&shy;ned in Por&shy;tu&shy;gal.\u201d We are all aware that a shoe is not made in just a few minutes.
