After two hard years of COVID and restrictions we were able to continue our mobilities and this second trip was to work hand by hand with teachers and students in Gdansk from October 25th to October 29th. These are a part of the activities in the programme:
On Monday we visited the school , learnt from some Infant Education sessions ( English sessions, games and routines ) we practiced on different ICT workshops, we watched a really good video about our project performed by students of the school . This was going to be a live video but resulted impossible due to the pandemic. It was worth the effort that all children put in the performance as it reflected the spirit of Europe and its people. Children from the partner countries joined tha activities online and were active participants of this fantastic day. Good job Children!
On Tuesday children were the main characters as well. Teachers and students were together in the classes, exchanging ideas and participating actively in all the activities. Students of the different participant countries joined again to the sessions online and they really enjoyed their participation. Teacher collaboratively created an ebook about the safe use of ICT and did it using book creator an app that will be definitely used in each country with the students.
Wednesday started with theatre workshops. This educative experience was really positive and all teachers agreed that the activities were really excellent to be carried out in the class as they were relly helpful to create a team spirit and to stay far from the screens for a bit, which is one of the aims of this project. Then teachers visited Malbork and its castle which is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997.
On Thursday techers visited the maritime museum of Gdynia where teachers were in an intercative class about characteristics of the Baltic Sea and its species. Then a workshop was carried out to explore the characteristics of the small creatures we can find living in the ocean.
On Friday it was time for History as teachers visited together the II World War Museum and reminded different aspects of those fatidic events.
Then at the end of the farewell dinner certificates were handed out.
Our students in Turkey, Malta and Spain will abosolutely be direct beneficiaries of the activities developed in Poland.
