Exchange in Lublin

Exchange in Lublin

At the end of the first module of “Connected with the Environment” project we had an incredible exchange in Lublin, Poland (19^th of March – 23^rd of March). The aim of this exchange was to summarize all the work in the 1^st module “History & Culture” and to integrate with students from other countries.

The theme of the meeting was local legends. We created completely new legends using the elements of the history we had learned from each country. We wrote some scripts and did some props and costumes. It was very funny. We did it very well.

The other important thing was to present the outcomes of each school. We learned something about partner schools. We also learned some new facts about other countries, who are taking part in our project, and their traditions, history and culture. We saw all the things and all the “little projects” that we had already done. We have completed the following tasks: How have I changed,  The family tree, History of our school, History of our teachers, History of our city and legends. They were cool tasks and everyone learned something.

In free time we did a lot of funny things. One day “Polish Kids” wanted to teach students from Greece some Polish words.

On Tuesday we had the board games event. We played a lot of fun games and we integrated as well.

We also took part in the theatre workshops with Mr. Charles. We did a lot of activities connected with theatre. Everyone said something about their theatre experiences.

We got some nice gifts from Ms Joanna W. on our 1^st day – the antistress ball, the pen, the luggage hanger and the writing pad (everything was blue and with our project logo).

We also had an amazing snow battle which took place behind the school. Everyone who wanted to go outside could do this. Thank you Greek people for being a part of this battle J

Despite the unfavorable weather, we managed to visit the Old Town and the Lublin Castle, as well the picturesque palace in Kozłówka and Kazimierz Dolny.

When we were in Kazimierz Dolny the best attraction was to throw the snowballs into the Vistula River.

To summarize, this exchange was incredible and unforgettable. We are going to remember it forever. Can you write something about your free afternoons in comments? Did you go to some interesting places? Who was your host (if you weren’t a guest you can write the answer for this question: Were you a host, if you were who visited you )?

We miss all of you! ♡
