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 (19th of March – 23rd of March). The aim of this exchange was to summarize all the work in the 1st 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 1st 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! ♡

PLASTIC BAGS BAN

On 28th of December 2018, Slovenians heard some exciting news. Our government decided that all plastic bags in stores need to be paid for!  This was great news because we have to start saving our planet now and not in 10 years, when it’s too late. I think it’s a great way of making people aware of how important recycling plastic bags is. Most people are already supporting complete ban of plastic bags, except the ones we use to put our fruit in because the’re necessary. But if, in the future, we will be able to find an alternative for them, we will completely ban them too.

FRIDAYS FOR FUTURE IN LJUBLJANA

On Friday, 15th of March we went to Congress Square because there was a protest against increasing of climate change, that was organised by Slovenian teenagers and young adults. The project was started by Greta Thunberg in Sweden. She stopped attending school on Fridays and she didn’t plan to come back until The Swedish Government did something about climate change and pollution. Soon her friends and other teenagers all over the world started to join her. The 15th of March 2019 was the day people from more than 100 countries gathered and protested for better future. In Ljubljana there were more than 9 thousand protesters. We interviewed a few people that attended the protest. We asked why are they here, what Planet B means to them and if they think so many people will make a difference. The questions we asked:  Why are you here today? Do you think so many people will make a difference? What is Planet B to you? The answers we got: - To help accomplish certain changes a...
