Day 2 - Getting started in Suwalki

On Tuesday morning we all met at Zespól szkól nr 8 Gimnazjum nr 1 in Suwalki. There were already many activities prepared for us. First, we met the headmaster of the school. Then, we went on a guided school tour where we could learn interesting things about education in Poland. We compared and talked about the differences in Polish, Czech, Turkish and Italian education. The school tour was priceless not only for the students but also for the teachers who then discussed about the questions and answers of our research. Later the students were divided into six internationally mixed groups where they started to work on their ideas for commericals, that we are going to shoot in Poland. It was a brainstorming activity and the students came up with many interesting ideas. Then, the Polish teacher Maggie came up with a "Dwarf hunting" sightseeing tour in Suwalki. Thank you for that! We enjoyed the tour around this town.

Day 1 - signtseeing in Warsaw

We all met at the Chopin airport in Warsaw at about the same time. There was a little time to visit the old town and the centre of Warsaw, where we started to communicate with friends we have not seen for some time. Some students still did not know each other so this was the very first oportunity to meet and chat. Warsaw is a very nice city and we all enjoyed this trip. However, as we still had a long journey to Suwalki ahead of us, we had to store some energy for one more trip that day. In Suwalki, the students got to the families around 11 pm and most of them probably went straight to bed full of exhaustement but also expectations for the next exciting day.

Meeting in Poland - 4.-11.5.2015

Our last meeting is just taking place these days in Suwalki, Poland. Polish, Czech, Turkish and Italian participants are all there. We are all looking forward to working on our last part of filming - commericals. We are all full of expectations - seeing new places, meeting new friends, learning new words in different languages and gaining new life experience.

Christmas wishes

We got a beautiful Christmas card from our Polish friends. Wonderful surprise, thank you very much, Maggie! We also would like to wish everyone all the best in 2015! xxx :)

Our next mobility will be in Poland (4.-11.5.2015)

We are looking forward to our next meeting. It will be in Suwalki and we are going to shoot commercials there. We look forward to it!

Polish e-journal about Turkey

The trip to Turkey for all us was great adventure. Our journey took 14 hours and it was long and tiresome. We were pleased that we arrived happily at the destination. The families with whom we supposed to live greeted us very warmly. The Turkish school friends made a great impression on us. We enjoyed all the tasks we were involved in. The workshops at school were great, we still remember some Turkish words! During our stay, we had a lot of opportunities to make friends with people from various countries. In our opinion the trips to Pergamon and Ephesus were fascinating and expanded our cultural horizons. We'll never forget filming the legends - everyone had a lot of fun then. Below are some photos you can have a look at: And one more thing - the Turkish food was delicious- especially sweets! We were glad that we could spend a whole week in Turkey with such a great team. It was awesome experience that we'll remember for a long time.

Golem of Bergama

And here is our last film made in Turkey - a film according to an old Prague jewish legend - Golem. They awoke him by pronouncing these magic words: "Emet, emet, emet." The film was made by the following international team: Yigit, Ahmet, Cyril, Danielle, Iga, Darja and Isli. Enjoy watching it:
