Summary of the exchange to Poland.

Comenius Project : Poznán March 2010

Last April 7th the 3rd grade students of Compulsary Secondary Education from Antonio Gala school made an exchange programme with the Ryszard Kapuściǹski school, wich is located in Poznan (Poland). Eleven girl students together with three teachers from our school took part in the project.
The experience has been really positive, as the objectives we worked on home been the following ones. Using English as a means for comunications, they have learnt some Polish words, their traditions and culture (typical food, education, monuments...) We would also like to mention the visits to other cities like Gdánsk, the visit to the Baltic sea, the Malbork castle...
Within this enjoyable exchange, we were taught and we also taught them the typical dances from each city, as well as “sevillanas”.
It has been a week sharing their every day life either at home or at school. Our students adapted them selves to their way of life and they also learnt from it as Polish partipants have learnt about our life styles. But above all, they have become friends and they will meet again next year. They keep in contact by e-mail or facebook.
We must highlight the friendly welcome we were given, not only by the families, but also by our colleagues. We felt al home during our stay there.
We thank the Comenius Project for the chance to approach other languages, speak different languages and enrich ourselves. We truly families to take part in this awesome experience.
